[1877 - Thomas A. Edison completes first phonograph]

Trading Deadline

OK, New Jersey, you laughed when we recalled our governor in favor of a Hollywood action hero. You made fun of us when our new governor called the elected representatives of California "girlie men." Now is the time to put aside our past differences and work out a trade. Suppose we swap you Arnold for Jim McGreevey, $3 Billion, two cabinet officers, the majority leader, and your first pick in the next primary. Think it over, and get back to us! Maybe we can do lunch; have your people contact mine.
