Jeff Jarvis has a McGreevey resignation roundup, via InstaPundit.
It's such a shame. New Jersey is notorious for having a corrupt political system, yet New Jerseyans keep making the same mistakes. In the last election, I looked at McGreevey and immediately pegged him as a corrupt rat of a politician, while Schundler struck me as a very good, honest, smart man. It was a no-brainer, yet most of New Jersey didn't agree.
Most of New Jersey was wrong.
Whoa, McGreevey is a homosexual! What the??
Good, he's resigning too. I think he's using this largely as a reason to resign for "personal" reasons rather than wait a little bit and have to resign anyway because of his corruption.
Oh, and "I'm a gay American". It's like he considers it an ethnicity!
Someone on Fox News correctly referred to this as a "preemptive strike". He posited that some "unflattering" information will be coming out (probably including sordid details of his homosexual affair) as part of a civil suit against him, so McGreevey chose to put out the information himself rather than let it be revealed as part of the suit.
They referred to it as a traditional lawyer's tactic, that it's better to get bad information out yourself than to let others reveal it.
Update: Probably the last thing I'll have to say about this. According to LGF, the person McGreevey hired to preside over homeland security and the safety of New Jersey was unqualified, and was hired only because he was McGreevey's lover. How despicable.
Update: Clayton Cramer has more.
After noticing that Matt's site supports comment feeds, I thought it'd be a neat thing to add. So, I got around to adding it today. Just add /rss to any post and you'll get an RSS version of all the comments. I also updated my main feed to support the wfw:commentRSS element.
Does it make sense to include the content of the entry itself in the feed description?
Update: By the way, both feeds are valid:

Glenn Reynolds has a must read on Kerry's Cambodia claim. Looks like the NY Times and Washington post are completely silent on this important story, as Roger Simon noted yesterday. Maybe their bias shouldn't be surprising anymore, but it's still unconscionable for them to completely ignore this story.
Roger Simon has more comments on the importance of this issue.
Well, XTrac is the manufacturer of the mouse pad, at least. They have a bunch of different models.
Basically, I want a mousepad that doesn't smell and works well with my optical mouse. CompUSA had some of their mousepads, so I'm going to go back tomorrow and and smell their mouse pads before I buy. Silly.
This is a guide to getting a high-resolution console (non-X based) on your Linux machine. I'd be happy if I could make my console look exactly like the Gentoo LiveCD's console, but I haven't yet figured out how that works.
Update: Gentoo uses a package called bootsplash, and here's a tutorial for setting it up under Gentoo. Gentoo rules.
