I have to admit, I'm going to miss drawing Ruth Ann Minner.

Citigroup thanks you for paying for their marketing efforts
Struggling Citibank just sealed a multi-billion-dollar emergency "backstop" deal with the U.S. government. The financial behemoth, suffering with billions in bad mortgage-related assets on its books, recently shed 53,000 workers and saw its stock price lose over half its value. Yet it's in a 20-year contract to pay the New York Mets $400 million to name the team's new stadium "Citi Field."

On vacation
I’m off through November 24 for some much needed rest and relaxation. I'll be heading down to San Juan, and then island hopping for the entire week.
Talk amongst yourselves while I'm gone. I'll give you a riddle.
Four men were in a boat on the lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a single man got wet!

Launching today...PolitickerNY.com!
Please welcome the newest member to the Politicker family today with the launch of PolitickerNY.com. The site is unique in our network, as it takes the already stellar local New York reporting team from The New York Observer, adds a new reporter with the hiring of Jimmy Vielkind, and places them to work on a statewide beat. Here's a bit about the launch from Politics editor Josh Benson:
So why are we doing all this?
Depending on how you look at it, we’re victims of our success – traffic to the Observer’s Politicker blog has more than doubled in the past year, and our employers noticed – or beneficiaries of having one of the very few publishers willing to spend money on a new journalism venture at a time when much of the industry is turning to dust.
Check out PolitickerNY.com here.

New Jersey: Codeword: Machiavelli
The latest must-read story out of New Jersey is from Gannett's Tom Baldwin about a Republican candidate for West Deptford Township Committeeman, Michael Krawitz, who told Governor Corzine's receptionist that he was George Norcross, the top Democratic Party power broker in South Jersey, influential from Camden to Cape May. Guess what? Krawtiz quickly found himself speaking with Jon Corzine.
You can see the story here. Some excerpts:
(Michael) Krawitz said he'd been calling Corzine for almost a year, wanting to divulge allegations of political corruption. "They would never put me through," he said. "So this one time in September I called and said, "Is Jon there?' And the lady says, "Who is calling?' And I say "George.' She says, "George who?' I say, "George Norcross.'
"... Right away I was talking to Jon Corzine," said Krawitz. "I asked him, "How can you take a call and talk to George Norcross but not the average New Jersey citizen?"'
About a week after the 30-second call, said Krawitz, State Police called him back on his cell phone, and they agreed to meet at a Woodbury Heights gas station.
"They asked me why I called the governor, and I said there is a lot of corruption that is not being discussed," he said. "They said, "Do you want to harm the governor in any way?' I said, "No, he does a good job of that by himself by not wearing a seat belt."
