Governor Chris Christie offers to resign?
By Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Ed.

Governor Chris Christie offers to resign? That's how I read the statement he made last Thursday:
You have to guess that over the last week the shredders were grinding, magnets and hard disk tools were doing their thing, and that anyone even remotely related to the Governor's office has scrubbed, hidden, erased, and burned any even remotely troubling memo, voicemail, email, tweet, text message, and Facebook post. But as we've all learned over the years, you can never find everything. . .and all it takes is one.

Governor Chris Christie offers to resign? That's how I read the statement he made last Thursday:
"My promise to the people of the state is that if there’s any other evidence that comes forward that requires action to be taken, I will take it, no matter how much it hurts me personally or dismays me because this is the job I asked for and I’ve got to do it."The Governor seems to be saying that if that "smoking traffic cone" does turn up that he will punish himself by resigning, since he instantly terminated two top aides when evidence of their complicity was released.

Chris Christie praises himself in apology
By Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Ed.
illustration by Jack Brummet
In his 108 minute "apology" Thursday, Governor Chris Christie never really apologized. He did, actually, but not for anything he did. “I’m telling you: I had nothing to do with this.” As David Letterman said, he "boldly took responsibility by blaming everyone but himself." And then he told us about himself:

And then he told us about himself:
- “I’m a very loyal guy.”
- “I am not a focus-group-tested, blow-dried candidate.”
- “I’ve worked for the last 12 years in public life developing a reputation for honesty.”
- “I’ve engendered the sense and feeling among the people closest to me that we’re a family.”
- “I’m a person who cares deeply about doing my job well.”
- “I’m incredibly loyal to my people.”
- “I was the class president and athlete.”

Poem: Stop-loss
By Jack Brummet
We can't slow back down
And run twice as fast
To keep up
While electric plantations hum 24/7
In Bayonne, Shanghai, Richmond,
Tacoma,
Manteca, South San Francisco, Pittsburgh,
Flint, Bombay, Long Beach, and Cleveland.
Expressways and boulevards
Skein an incipient skull orchard.
We are caught in flagrante delicto,
with our pants down
And hands wedged in the cookie jar.
No one dares to finger or be fingered
As mother earth struggles
To free herself
From the shackles.
She turns off the rain
And takes back her Dodos and Whales,
Snail Darters and Spotted Owls,
Pygmy Hippotami and Flightless Cormorant,
Vancouver Island Marmot and Gavial,
Great Auk and Wild Ass,
Tapir Kagu and Manatee,
Carolina Parakeet and Dire Wolf,
Coelacanth and Blackfooted Ferret,
Snow Leopard and Przewalski's Horse,
Glaciers, rain forests, and monkey flower,
Bigleaf Scurfpea and Spiny Rice,
Interrupted Brome and Greensword.
The infidels have battle fatigue
And sing the song we know so well:
I don't believe in earth. I just believe in
me.

Poem: The Earth Is In Motion
By Jack Brummet
The mountain is the youngest child
Of heaven and earth,
Striving ever upward
And simultaneously tumbling down,
Like the five volcanoes
That surround me.
