Our governor is just embarrassing... which beats the hell out of corrupt.

Yeah I was going to add that but I didn't know enough so I left it out... bad reporting on my part I guess.

Makin' those assumptions again, eh? How you can assume that I think there was something "wrong" about fighting WWII, I can't be quite sure of. And there you go again with Republican/Democrat bullshit.

And a "shitty world"? A bit negative, aren't we? Minus the assholes, I think the world is pretty damn awesome.

I'll stick with Formula 409. War dosen't clean up shit. War is messy. Our current "clean-up crew" is coming home in body bags. Well, I guess some people get a hard on from all that macho nonsense.

Something as abstract as a "war on terror" sounds more like a boogie man to me, than a "demon". The 3rd Reich, Stalin, Idi Amin, Vlad the Impaler, Colonel Sanders, Leona Helmsley, and uh... what' his name again?... oh, yeah... OSAMA BIN LADEN! (you know, the guy we can't find?), maybe they're worthy of being called demons. But, shit, if we're gonna start fighting wars, I think we need to have some real, solid targets and threats. How come we're not fucking w/ Saudi Arabia? Isn't that where all the 9/11 douchebags actually came from? Next you'll assume that I'm a pacifist, and I wanna hug trees.

So, 24 hours later the local NYC news sources--on all fronts--are reporting who the "lover" was. And they are constantly harping on the fact he's Israeli! The New York Post--of all places--has pictures of the guy with his skull-cap/yalmulke on! Good lord if this is not mixed up badly enough!

Like Rodney King said: "Why can’t we all just get along?"

I think this is the first major news story I've first learned about through SG.

I'll never forget where I was...

New Jersey elected the first gay governor... they get more progressive everyday!

It's still a fairly hot angle to the story...the guy allegedly has a sexual harrassment suit against the governor...he has received several jobs directly from the governor...right now he's not going to get much privacy.

I read he doesn't officaily retire until November where does that leave him for three months? can he really be trusted after he misused his position?

If he retired as of now, there would an election for his position in November. If he stays in until November, the people of NJ don't get a chance to elect his successor.

funny news came out today in from the Star Ledger:

McGreevey's Aproval Rating increased 2% after announcing he was resigning.

This AP article annoyed me a bit.

Mainly this part:
Under the state Constitution, McGreevey could only be removed from office through impeachment, a scenario that remains unlikely because it requires a two-thirds vote in the Assembly and trial in the Senate. Democrats control both houses of the Legislature.

NJ Governors can't be impeached. NJ Doesn't have an impeachment process. Governors in NJ can only be recalled. I would think an AP article would have halfway decent research & fact-checking.
