What Planet am I on? I chose that name because sometimes the news is just so unbelievable. Today is positively one of those days. The Democrat Governor of Illnois, Rod R. Blagojevich, was arrested this morning after weeks of investigation by the Feds over campaign fundraising and more significantly a "pay for play" scheme to fill the Senate seat vacated by President Elect Obama. The charges if true paint a pretty terrible picture of the Governor and his contempt for his office and the people of Illnois. Also interesting are some of the references quote in the unsealed documents to apparent discussions with the transition team about their preference for who should fill Obama's seat.

Then to top it all off there is a subpoena for records related to the Rezko land deal involving Obama's purchase of his house.

Will Obama pardeon the Gov? Rezko? Can Obama pardon himself?
