You claim liberal California over 'Live free or Die" conservative New Hampshire?
You would prefer that the Governator tax you to death to balance the budget over the 'No sales tax' and 'No Income tax' of NH?

Ah Jersey, where oil is pronounced "earl", Newark is "Nork", The Oranges is Da Onjiz.
A lot of towns sound funny 'cause they were named with words taken from the Lennapi indians that occupied these lands back in the day. We got Keasby, Wawayonda, Sqaunkum, Hopatcong, Delawanna, Wannamassa, and a bunch more I cant think of right now.
