Five days: New Jerseyans have five days to persuade Gov. James E. McGreevey to leave office and allow a special election to be held to fill the remaining year of his term. Unless that happens by Sept. 3, an unelected politician will serve both as acting governor and Senate president until January 2006.

A friend sent the scorching op-ed article “Gay” Gov. Jim McGreevey Gives New Jerseyans the Shaft by Nicholas Stix of Mens News Daily. Stix goes into details of, in addition to the Kushner and Cipel scandals, the scandals involving

• Billboardgate
  
• Rajesh “Roger” Chugh

Roberto's post Generalisimo Jim McGreevey is Still Governor, Part 3 points to the ultimate in collegiate cluelessness, a Howard U op-ed article Holding Politicians to Human Being Status: Our View: Political officer's sex lives should be private unless it hinders job performance. Obviously the kid that wrote the article hasn't been doing her/his homework, or she/he would know the gay issue is the red herring
