Mental Health America, an organization looking to get mentioned in brief wire reports reprinted across the nation, released a study claiming that New Jersey is the third least-depressed state in the union. We're supposed to be shocked that some stereotype about Jersey isn't true but honestly, the sheer number of zillionaires inexplicably residing there guarantees a good placement. Jersey is depressing to the rest of the nation, who ever said they were self-aware about it? (New York ranked 19th because of its proximity to New Jersey.) [NYP]
