South Carolina GOP Gov. Mark Sanford admitted Wednesday to an affair, and resigned his position as chair of the Republican Governor's Association following a strange week in which the governor dropped off the grid and could not be located.
“I have been unfaithful to my wife. I developed a relationship with what started out as a dear, dear friend from Argentina
The governor said that his staff did not deserve blame for giving misleading statements about his whereabouts to the press - first that he was off writing and then that he was hiking the Appalachian Trail.
"I apologize to my staff," Sanford said in a statement released after the 2 p.m. news conference. "I misled them about my whereabouts, and as a result the people of South Carolina believed something that wasn't true.

You and many others will be shocked at how many have known and prepared for this day. I personally know the Command Staffs of five State National Guards and KNOW they will fight the NWO. They have been WAITING for Joe Six-pack to get off the coach and take a stand; they are ready and determined, are YOU?

People's overall reaction here to Sanford's disappearance, and neglect even to ask the lieutenant governor to assume authority in his absence, is that he's erratic and even more flaky than he is reputed to be.
I would not be surprised if he was in some sort of institution for mental illnesses or had run off with a stripper or any one of a number of juicy possibilities.
He may or may not be a secessionist, as many argue, but one thing he's definitely not is presidential material. One has to be rock-steady to do that.

Hmm, pirate TV stations...but we have all switched to digital high-def broadcasts now, haven't we? Who is going to get the information on those pirate analog transmitters?
And people think that TPTB are not a few steps ahead of the game. tsk-tsk.

That's all I have to say.

I can see a Tiananmen Square incident on one coast and the other coast would know nothing about it. Even if a patriot in broadcasting trys to usurp authority it would be squashed by the fcc hitting the emergency elert button.
Cell towers shut down on the push of a button, Internet disabled etc.
