what the? i just thought this was interesting news. former new jersey gov. james mcgreevey has decided to pursue his master of divinity at general theological seminary. he was received as an episcopalian on sunday in nyc. in 2004 mcgreevey resigned from his position when he made public that he was gay and was having an affair. he is still in the midst of a nasty divorce.
who wouldathinkit? back in jersey i had the privilege to rub shoulders with some politicians and understand the system a little more. politicians are indeed interesting creatures. mcgreevey definitely stood out in his journey to office then and he still stands out in his choices now. i wish him well.
i still haven’t decided which political machine is worst – nj or philly…?

i think jersey’s has been historically a bit worse. there seems to be a brain drain of young talented folks that flows from nj to places like nyc and other large metro areas. but i’m encouraged by leaders like cory booker of newark and hey, even gov. 91mph on the turnpike. it’s been a while since any leaders in jersey have been encouraging, but maybe we’re turning a corner.
