Apparently a series of racist emails that originated outside, were forwarded dozens of times within the state of Alaska email system by state employees. And somebody didn’t think they were funny. One of the five e-mails obtained by The Associated Press asks about the outcome of the Democrat’s victory after all the time and money [...]

As you may recall, a special craft project distinguished the Anchorage Mudstock meetup from all the others.  Attendees, using yellow duct tape, cut out little yellow mudboots, and affixed them to shiny holiday ornaments.  But these ornaments were not designed for any ordinary Christmas tree. Their destiny was greater. (Insert Mission Impossible music here…..) “mwThatOne, [...]

You walk into my office and see me sitting in front of my computer, violently banging my head on the desk, obviously unaware of your presence. “Why?” [bang] “Why?!” [Bang] “WHY?!” [BANG] Suddenly noticing you, I rub my forehead and smile sheepishly. “Good morning,” I say. “I was just thinking about the fact that Don [...]

No, I’m not delusional.  In fact, this is what a new state commission says ought to happen.  According to them, Sarah Palin’s salary ought to increase from $125,000/yr. to $150,000/yr.  So says the commission, formed last month, that is made up of people appointed by… (you know what’s coming, don’t you?)…Governor Sarah Palin. Just a [...]

I have received no less than three emails from constituents of Fred Dyson who were seeing red, after contacting him regarding Governor Sarah Palin’s ethics scandal. We all know that Sarah Palin was found guilty of abusing her power and violating the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.  I’ll quote you right from the giant green [...]

This weekend, Anchorage Mudflatters came together for Mudstock V, right here in my home town! I’ve had several inquiries from people, wondering if I was perhaps lurking at a nearby table, or if I had infiltrated the group under another identity! I’m afraid I’m not cut out for that kind of stealth, and I’m sure [...]

Never one to pass up the opportunity for national media attention, Sarah Palin called in to smitten Greta Van Susteren of Fox News,  to talk about the  arson committed  at the Wasilla church she attends. “I’ll leave it to the pastor to speak to,” Palin says in the FOX interview. “I apologized to the assistant pastor letting him [...]

Here’s a rumor that actually had me almost spitting my coffee this morning. We say that all the time, but really. Almost spit my coffee. Now, this is only rumor at this point, but according to the Alaska Ear, guess who Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich’s roommate was at Pepperdine Law School? I’ll tell you, because [...]

As 2008 draws to a close, there are bound to be many “years in review” and “top 10 lists” as the media looks back at this year, which rivals any in recent memory for being absolutely steeped in colorful, and sometimes unbelievable political drama. Sarah Palin will undoubtedly be writ large as we review 2008. [...]
