Mail Matters

[vovat]

Hotmail has finally started allowing more storage for their basic accounts. I guess that means I'll be able to start receiving attachments through there. Not that I'm going to open messages with attachments unless I've received advance notification of them.

Speaking of e-mail, I haven't received a single real message since I went to bed about eight hours ago. I hate it when I check my mail for the first time during the day, and there's nothing new. I guess it IS a lot earlier than usual, but still.

I need to come up with something else to write about. I hate posting really short entries. Actually, I have no problem with blogging short things, but I don't like to put them in my LiveJournal. I guess it has something to do with the fact that an LiveJournal entry just strikes me as a bigger production. My original plan was to only cross-post my longer and/or more significant entries, but I'm getting to the point where I don't see that as making much sense. As it is, people who read my journal in only one format are missing out on stuff (not that they're likely to care), while those who read both (if there are any) have to see most of the entries twice. I'm not planning on changing my posting format, but I've been steering away from having blog-only entries as of late, and I'll probably continue with that trend.

I suppose that, as someone who spends a lot of time in New Jersey, I should address Governor McGreevey's resignation. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure why he's resigning. I've seen some mentions of a planned lawsuit by a former aide, but the few articles I've read mention that only briefly, instead focusing on McGreevey's affair and coming out of the closet, neither of which has anything to do with his performance as Governor. From what I've read, I like McGreevey's tax policies, but his rejection of gay marriage comes off as quite hypocritical, knowing what we know now. Kind of the textbook example of a repressed homosexual, I guess.

w/r/t McGreevey, I've heard that the resignation isn't so much about the affair, but he's sort of using it as a smokescreen for some other Actually Bad Scandal-Type Things. (I'm mainly going off of the Plastic thread on the story, so...) Apparently aside from the lawsuit, there's allegations that his boyfriend was placed in a position he wasn't qualified for, and I've heard also some stuff about campaign donation impropriety. I do not know if any of this is actually true, however, as I do not follow New Jersey politics, being, y'know, no where near NJ, heh. And it could be a bit of a smear campaign thing on the part of the Republicans. So, I don't know, that's just what I've heard, and I have no idea on the relative truth-or-false natures of this.

But yeah, rejection of gay marriage is hell of stupid/wacky besides. It's just sorta doubly odd when it's by an actual gay guy. But that's just me.
