We have a history of using New Jersey to store large things that we're slightly ashamed of -- malls, dumps, suburbs, football teams. It's time NJ put NY to shame by turning the civil unions (already ahead of NY) into equal marriages.

Or both. I'm not going to say anything about the baseball, but I will agree on the superiority of New England clam chowder! As a New Yorker for many years, I’m so disappointed by this.
