Funny. According to this cached page, Gov. Sanford had been invited to speak at the 2009 “Values Voters” summit in September (second to last row).
The page has since been updated - and Sanford’s been scrubbed. I wonder why?
While we’re at it - a quick hit on the Sanford business.

Sanford on the tube right now admitting affair. Unreal. Father’s Day weekend, no less.
In one respect, the way Sanford’s doing it is the right way to handle it politically. Caught; admit it rather than cover up; invoke your faith (to assure your people-of-faith constituents that you’re still with them, really, you stumbled but you still […]

Funny line over at TPM - maybe S.C. Gov. Sanford was in Buenos Aires looking for Obama’s birth certificate.
Over at Drudge, the story is buried way down on the page, no photo.
Gee - I wonder why that is?
I wonder if he’d play it the same way if Sanford was a Democrat?

Original “What’s in a name” thread deleted because I subsequently saw someone had already posted the story under the News section of LOL. No need to duplicate.
But, in response to the question - yes, the supermarket should have made the cake with the kid’s name inscribed, strange though it may be.
As for the swastika, no […]

Via colleague PW, something to take your mind off the economic crisis. Because how often do you get to read a story that includes a line like this:

Well, this took less than a day.
Police sources tell KDKA that a campaign worker has now confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter “B” in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker.

This apparently washed ashore near Montauk, N.Y. Leading to the obvious questions: WTF is it? And, whose viral marketing scheme was this, anyway?
