1. On New Jersey slashing funding for higher education, curtailing money for municipalities, and raising taxes in a political fight which led to a government shutdown – but the new budget did restore erectile drug aid (http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/15017026.htm):
“I knew New Jersey was the place for big dicks.”
