Every once in a while we hear tha sound of hoofbeats on the Mudflats…. Hark! Is that…..a horse? Why yes, it’s our trusty white knight Representative Les Gara galloping up to deliver his latest opinion piece on the Palin debacle. He unfurls his scroll and reads… Over the past few weeks we Alaskans have been [...]

OK…I was really peeved at the New Yorker after that horrible cover of Barack and Michelle Obama doing the “terrorist fist bump” by the warmth of a burning flag, and a portrait of Osama bin Laden. This was supposed to be how “uneducated people” felt about Obama…you know…satire…hahaha. When you have to tell people it’s [...]

It happened again. This time Katie Couric managed not only to make Sarah Palin look bad, but John McCain look worse! What was her diabolical secret? She used that secret weapon – asking questions. In this one-on-two interview, John McCain showed up to sit with Sarah to make sure she didn’t screw up too badly, [...]

OK Mudflatters…are you confident in your readiness? Ready in your confidence? Are you wired for the mission?  We need a little help in moderating the upcoming VP debate live chat, and we’re looking for volunteers.  The live chat was great fun, but Snoskred and Sephy were the only moderators for the whole 2-3 hour chat last time, [...]

 PLEASE JOIN US AS WE DELIVER THE TRUTH FOR LUNCH TO THE DEPARTMENT OF LAW IN ANCHORAGE! We will be bringing the petition demanding Attorney General Talis Colberg’s resignation to the Department of Law with what we estimate to be over 2,000 signatures: Wednesday, October 1, 11:30am on the sidewalk outside of the Atwood Building, 550 [...]

Rarely do things actually make me laugh out loud, alone in a room…especially the Wall Street Journal. But, there’s a first time for everything. (clearing throat and trying to be serious) Apparently Republicans have figured out what Palin’s problem is, and what she needs to do to bolster her plummeting poll numbers. I DARE you [...]

“Sen. John McCain retracted Sarah Palin’s stance on Pakistan Sunday morning, after the Alaska governor appeared to back Sen. Barack Obama’s support for unilateral strikes inside Pakistan against terrorists“She would not…she understands and has stated repeatedly that we’re not going to do anything except in America’s national security interest,” McCain told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos of [...]

For all of you who wish you could have been at the Alaskans for Truth rally, or were there but didn’t sign the petition, here it is! This is the petition that we will be submitting to the “powers that be”. Whether you are in Alaska, our outside the state, please sign. We’re trying to [...]

Sunday, organizers and rally-goers were basking in the afterglow of the “Hold Palin Accountable” rally. The rally got front page coverage in the Anchorage Daily News, and was featured on local and national broadcast news. It was also picked up by newspapers across the country. This was a big step up from the coverage of [...]

OK, not to belabor the moose topic, but there’s a story I feel compelled to share. Remember Brian, the moose I mentioned in the open thread from a few nights back? Well, believe it or not, he stole our swing set. Allow me to explain. Brian has been hanging around the neighborhood a lot lately. [...]

With every day bringing new cringe-worthy gaffes, inadequacies, and (R)evelations (Biblical and otherwise), the McCain campaign is getting desperate.  They’ve tried just about everything to postpone, or lessen the carnage of the looming bloodbath that will be the Vice Presidential debate this Thursday night.Plan A – Change the rules of the debate.  Give the candidates less time [...]

What a day!  Before I pour myself into bed, I thought I’d share some great videos from today’s rally.  Enjoy!  And thanks to all the Mudflatters who were there today, and all those who were there in spirit! Good slideshow of the Alaskans for Truth Rally. Shannyn Moore speaks at the rally. I don’t know [...]

Back from the rally.  It was AMAZING!!!  HUGE turnout!!  Post and pictures will come in a few hours.  Here’s an uncluttered open thread until then…

Are you ready for another installment in the tale of Troopergate?  Good. As you may recall, we last left our story as Alaska State Rep. Les Gara (D), (who for our purposes will be envisioned with a nice shiny helmet atop a feisty white horse), called on the Alaska State Troopers to look into possible criminal witness [...]

What a day.  Debate number one is behind us.  My take?  A tie = Obama won.  He’s only going to get better from here.  What fun chatting with, and watching the chat of hundreds upon hundreds of Mudflatters!  Almost overwhelming!  My living room has never been so full. Have fun night shift, and those of [...]
