Crisis...
So which state has had the most governors resign due to misconduct? Sorry, New York, that's still you. Its three resignations for personal misconduct are more than any other state.

This cartoon represent what many of the politicians doing today. More paved spaces, more building of skyscrapers, more condensed area regardless and at the end of the day cry Climate Change.
Just a thought.

Dropping a political bombshell, New Jersey Gov. James McGreevey [Democrats] announced his resignation after revealing that he is gay and that he had an adulterous affair with a man.
With his wife standing by his side, McGreevey -- a father of two -- spoke in calm tones as he described his struggle with his sexuality, "a certain sense that separated me from others." It was something that he said began as a child.
"At a point in every person's life, one has to look deeply into the mirror of one's soul and decide one's unique truth in the world, not as we may want to see it or hope to see it, but as it is," McGreevey said.
McGreevey's surprise resignation came as Golan Cipel, a former security aide to the governor, had readied a sexual harassment lawsuit against the governor, two Democratic sources told CNN. Cipel resigned his post in 2002.
A third Democratic source, who had spoken throughout the day with a top aide to the governor, told CNN it is unclear whether Cipel will proceed with the lawsuit now that McGreevey has announced his resignation.
Speaking at a packed news conference in the Statehouse in Trenton, New Jersey, McGreevey admitted to an affair with a man and asked for his family's forgiveness.

Failure...
Havoc...
The cost of living in the U.K. surged in October to a 10-year high, with the figure now more than double the target set by the Bank of England.
The U.K.'s Consumer Prices Index rose by 4.2% in the 12 months to October, up from 3.1% in September. Economists polled by Reuters had a expected a figure of 3.9% for October.
The Bank of England expects inflation to rise further to around 5% in the spring of 2022 before falling back toward its 2% target by late 2023, as the impact of higher oil and gas prices fades and demand for goods moderates.
Euro zone inflation hit a new 13-year high in October, at 4.1%, as the currency bloc also battles surging energy costs. This was the highest level since July 2008, according to Reuters data, and was ahead of a consensus forecast of 3.7%. September's figure had come in at 3.4%.
This is going to create havoc world wide caused by oil prices. Just a thought.
