Politicians are assholes. especially Jersey ones.
some people call her the new Jackie O, but Michelle Obama is too much an American original for such comparisons. While in Europe with her husband, President Obama, for the G20 Economic Summit, it was our First Lady who made the biggest impressions on the Global stage.
Nothing like a little activism to go with a lovely day!
Lefty blogger hooks up with unfettered access to US Senate candidate (and Congressman) Rob Andrews. Wackiness -- and wonkiness -ensue.(I think this is one of the coolest things I have ever done blog-wise.)

When it could to Iraq, Senator Frank Lautenberg's either being forgetful or ...... dishonest. Thankfully, New Jersey voters who want to shake things up now have a choice: Rob Andrews for Senate.Andrews vs. Lautenberg.

Just another Hillary Clinton booster with an "any means nescessary" kind of attitude.At least this story ends with a well hung hooker to rhe rescue.

That's the choice New Jersey democrats have on June 5th when they choose their party's candidate for U.S. Senate.
I choose Rob Andrews over Frank Lautenberg for an ever-growing list of reasons.
The lastest: a petty snub that suggests he's brittle and his staff is spooked.
The last time a New Jersey Senator was from South Jersey, Frank Lautenberg was, like, my age. I am all about Rob Andrews in the June primary because "all politics is local."

Here are some parting shots from Rome where the NJ death penalty repeal was the big story bouncing around old Europe this past week. And that's just the beginning of the story.You'll laugh, you'll cry. It's better than Cats.
When Governor Corzine signs the bill, N.J. will be the first state in the land to repeal the death penalty legislatively. Nasty criminals face life without parole instead.Is it me, or are some victories just extra sweet?
Vote today in New Jersey to help farmers AND the environment! Vote YES on ballot question #3!
Corzine muses about healthcare for kids, gay marriage equality and crime. He also reflects on his near-fatal accident last summer. Interesting stuff, if I do say so myself.

Junk mail (especially those darn credit card solicitations) creates an astonishing 8,000,000,000 pounds of waste per year. Of course much of this is recyclable but it's still problematic for two reasons: 1) the trees have already been cut and 2) most people still don't [...]
From yesterday's NY Times article by Jon Miller New Media, Old Politics and the Blogger in the Middle:Jay Lassiter used to write Internet posts flecked with profanity that lacerated New Jersey lawmakers. He described the actions of one legislator as “nincompoopery” and called another [...]
I have nothing against people getting rich, but our economy is only as strong as the middle class. As president I won't just pass laws that favor workers, I'll use my "bully pulpit" to be a friend to working men and women.--Sen. Obama, click to enlarge

Of all the 3,161 brave souls to lose their life in Iraq, Airman Carl Ware Jr. is the one that stands out for me. I guess seeing a neighbor lying in a casket and hearing the sobs of his family mourning will do that.
This year's Wimbledon lady champ will earn the same payday as her male counterpart, breaking a ~120 year tradition of inequality for women. It's about time.
