Norah O'Donnell a few minutes ago: "Sanford refuses to say what he was doing except that he was alone and was driving along the coastline."
I have a vague memory of Ronald Reagan in one of the Presidential debates (1984 I think) starting to tell a story about driving up the California coastline, then running out of time and never finishing his story. Johnny Carson had some fun with that one for a while. Anyone else remember that?
"Driving along the coast" must be some kind of archetype wired into the conservative brain. Wonder what it means.

I know someone who's house was in waaaay upside down territory, with a mortgage payment that exceeded 6k per month.... they got behind and didn't make mortgage payments for 9 months before the bank decided to do anything about it.. they got their second mortgage paid off, their first reduced by 100K and don't have to make up the back payments... their mortgage is now around 4K per month, but is more manageable....
these folks that are just walking away should stay put... eventually the banks will deal with their loans... and they will probably come out better than just walking away...

First, we need to be clear on the facts — not the media speculation:
* Sanford did tell his staff and family where he was going.
* Because he was traveling without a security detail, it was in his best interests that no one knew he was gone.
* His political enemies — Republicans at that — ginned up the media story.
* When confronted by a pestering media, things went downhill.
* Again though, at all times there was no doubt that Sanford’s staff and family knew where he was.
Now, here is all you need to know about this whole entire story — the reaction from the erstwhile Republicans angry at Sanford for not being a fiscal squish and from the media all go back to their core belief that without Sanford manning the barricades of government at all times, the government will collapse and people will starve, die, and forget how to read and write.
That’s it.
But that did not happen. Life in South Carolina went on. The world did not end. Government did not go off the rails. That the media and politicians would react as they did says more about their world view than anything else.
It is refreshing that Mark Sanford is secure enough in himself and the people of South Carolina that he does not view himself as an indispensable man.

CIA World Fact Book 2008:
Trafficking in persons:
current situation: Argentina is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor; most victims are trafficked within the country, from rural to urban areas; child sex tourism is a problem; foreign women and children, primarily from Paraguay, Brazil, and the Dominican Republic, are trafficked to Argentina for commercial sexual exploitation; Argentine women and girls are also trafficked to neighboring countries, Mexico, and Western Europe for sexual exploitation; a significant number of Bolivians, Peruvians, and Paraguayans are trafficked into the country for forced labor in sweatshops, agriculture, and as domestic servants
tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - despite some progress, Argentina remains on the Tier 2 Watch List for the third consecutive year for its failure to show evidence of increasing efforts to combat human trafficking, particularly in terms of providing adequate assistance to victims and curbing official complicity with trafficking activity, especially on the provincial and local levels; the Argentine Congress has demonstrated progress by enacting much-needed and first-ever federal anti-trafficking legislation (200
Illicit drugs:
a transshipment country for cocaine headed for Europe, heroin headed for the US, and ephedrine and pseudoephedrine headed for Mexico; some money-laundering activity, especially in the Tri-Border Area; law enforcement corruption; a source for precursor chemicals; increasing domestic consumption of drugs in urban centers, especially cocaine base and synthetic drugs (200

But golf is a religious experience?
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH), an avid lover of golf, has repeatedly used the golf course for fundraising purposes. Unlike the imprisoned former lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who famously used golf as “bait…to lure Republican politicians into his realm,” Boehner has repeatedly used golf as a means of giving lobbyists some face-time with him while raising money for House Republicans in the process. The Washington Post’s Mary Ann Akers reports today that Boehner’s PAC, Freedom Project, “spent a total of $31,474.11 on a golf fundraiser for friends, lobbyists and anyone else who wanted intimate tee time with the House’s top Republican” at the Ritz Carlton in Naples, FL last February, raising nearly a quarter million dollars for GOP candidates.

CNN headline:
A 14-year-old girl screams above the body of a Kent State University student killed in 1970. A policeman aims his gun at a Vietcong prisoner's head in 1968. And in 1989, an unarmed man in Beijing stands defiantly in front of a column of tanks. This time, it's amateur cell phone video that is grabbing worldwide attention. It captures the death of a young woman named Neda, galvanizing protesters in Iran and shaping perceptions elsewhere
Yes, wasn't it amazing how the United States government changed its policies so dramatically after Kent State?
My other favorite moment from last year's RNC is when Sarah Palin talked about how the "First Dude" was a "proud union member" and the audience was utterly confused at what they were supposed to do, as unions are of course communist in nature.

"At Air-Conditioned News Conference, Obama Feels the Heat"
"He delivered the news he came to deliver — a message on Iran, energy legislation and health care — before his question-and-answer session quickly became infused with an air of testiness."
"“I know everybody here is on a 24-hour news cycle,” Mr. Obama snapped at one point"
"“What, are you the ombudsman for the White House press corps?” Mr. Obama said at one point, chiding Jake Tapper of ABC News"
"By the time one of Mr. Obama’s least-favorite topics was broached — his occasional smoking habit — the tone was set. It was a question the White House had prepared for, considering the president signed a historic anti-smoking law one day earlier. But his smile did little to mask his agitation."
