After having spent three days in Jersey, I realized that a site like this in the subway to me is normal, safe-Jersey just plain scares me.

Zach Braff may have made a movie about the “Garden State,” but lets be real, dude moved as far away as he could from the state as he could get, California. Given the fact the Nets are moving to Brooklyn and even the football teams that play in Jersey are named after New York, perhaps people should take note.

This guy I saw at Penn Station today may have dolls that dance to his awful piano playing, but the stereotypical Red State paraphanalia I saw in Jersey- Pro-Bush, pro-war, pro-NRA flyers, posters, and stickers struck more fear in my heart and was weirder than any situation I’ve experienced here in New York.

Perhaps it’s weird to feel safe around the dancing doll guy, but give me him and the schizophrenic people over the self-proclaimed gun-toting, war promoting, people I was surrounded with in that state down the Turnpike. Call me a statist, call me an elitist, but I’ll take my New York crazies any day!
