It's 5:30 on a Saturday. Do you know where your governor is?

The Associated Press attempted to find out where the governors in 40 US states were as of yesterday. This is, of course, in response to the Mark Sanford saga that eventually found him having flown to Argentina for a week to be with his mistress.

Where the governors were wasn't all that exciting. But what was more interesting is how many of their offices refuse to release their public schedules -- you'd think that is something that they would put on their websites in most cases.

Instead, they try to hide the most basic thing about their jobs -- where and with whom they are meeting on state's business.

No wonder Sanford thought that he could get away with something like flying to Argentina to be with his mistress.
