Sarah Palin to resign

Via Kos:

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Gov. Sarah Palin will resign her office in a few weeks, she said during a news conference at her Wasilla home Friday morning.

Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell will be inaugurated at the Governor's Picnic at Pionner Park in Fairbanks on Saturday, July 25, Palin said.

There was no immediate word as to why she will resign, though speculation has been rampant that the former vice presidential candidate is gearing up for a run at the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.

Sitting governors run for President all the time. Something's up, and there's more to this story.

[Update]: There's video. Oh my God.

[Update 2]: And it's a Friday PM news dump, too. The speech was a shambles, there was no national media, not even a press release. There's more to this story.

More to the story

Perhaps Todd "first dude" Palin has been having an affair with Mark Sanford's wife? Maybe Levi Johnston is undergoing a sex-change operation, then moving to Iowa to marry Bristol?

The late evolutionary biologist J.B.S. Haldane remarked, "The universe is not only queerer than we imagine, it is queerer than we can imagine." Sarah Palin may be proof of his statement.
