Let’s be honest here, OK?

New Jersey deciding to fly its flags at half-staff for the death of Whitney Houston was a nice honor.

The woman was a music superstar and it’s important some people take pride in her and her accomplishments.

New Jersey governor Chris Christie isn’t perfect, by any means, but he made the right call with this one.

Christie has more important things to do, besides blasting Newt Gingrich for whatever reason, than consider this for too long.

As far as some people saying she deserved what happened because she was a “crackhead”, I am disappointed.

I’m not sure where sympathy and empathy have gone in this nation.

I’m saving all of mine … for you!
