Yes, we’ve had another “drive by” from flyinureye!  This one was inspired by the fact that when Governor Palin flew to the remote village of Russian Mission, escorted by not one, but two evangelical preachers (Franklin Graham and Jerry Prevo) to bring food aid to local residents, she brought…..homemade cookies, and some advice!   So, a [...]

We all know the scenario.  There’s a wedding and the invitations are sent out.  The envelope arrives in the mail box of Jim and Sally Smith.  The envelope is addressed to “Jim and Sally Smith” or “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”.  The host and hostess have a clear idea in mind of how this evening will [...]

We all know the story ‘;pkl

As I woke up this morning, I laid there for a minute and listened. Hmm… I don’t hear howling wind. Maybe the blizzard has passed. The last few days we have been homebound due to severe blizzards hitting our area; whiteout conditions for several days, with breaks only rarely. Thankfully, we did have a break [...]

Until now, Brian the Moose has felt nothing but love and admiration for the Obamas.  Of course, his ungulate status, lack of opposible thumbs, and wild nature made it impossible for him to engage in activities like phone banking, and registering voters, he has nevertheless done his part to cheer and encourage Obama supporters throughout the [...]

Remember when Sarah Palin simultaneously proclaimed herself to be an advocate for children with autism, and mocked fruitfly research at the same time?  A quick Google search will reveal that fruit fly research has been, and continues to be important in trying to understand….autism.  So why did Palin attack that science? a) She didn’t bother [...]

I know that there are many Republicans out there, who think that Sarah Palin is a complete “whack job” (to quote a source in the McCain campaign).  I know this because I just had dinner with one of them the other night.  My impression was that she voted for Obama, almost out of desperation, because [...]

Governor Sarah Palin yesterday agreed to pay an estimated $6800 for what she charged the state for her children’s travel expenses and related costs since assuming her role as governor. This all came about as the result of an ethics complaint filed against Palin by Frank Gwartney, a retired electrical lineman who had had enough [...]

Well, another “why are they always picking on me” press conference today. Alaskans awakened to a clip of Bill McAllister on the front page of adn.com talking about “per diem gate”.  For those of you who may be getting your gates confused, “per diem gate” is the one where Sarah Palin, whose duty station as [...]

Ah, you’ve caught me with palms on my face, moving them up and down in a rapid rubbing motion, and then shaking out my arms.  That must mean I’ve finished the Introduction of “Trailblazer – An Intimate Biography of Sarah Palin.” That’s right.  Just the Introduction. I’ve got to work up to this slowly.   [...]

Michelle Obama will be the second First Lady in history to appear on the cover of Vogue.  Other first ladies, with the exception of Hillary Clinton who was the first to grace the cover, were relegated to out-of-the-way photos inside the magazine.  Look for the March issue of Vogue on newsstands. In the cover photo, [...]

I’ve been meaning to report on an amusing incident that happened last week at work. There I am, pushing papers, minding my own business, when someone rings my office. “That guy Gryphen from the Immoral Minority Blog is here to see you!” (Well, that’s not really what they said, but I’m not going to out [...]

Just because it’s Monday. Just because I have way more pictures of Brian the moose than anyone I know would ever be interested in seeing. Just because.

Too much muck, too little time…. The story of our lives here on the Last Frontier. Teen Abstinence – Good Policy or “like totally not realistic at all…” In the quickly becoming infamous interview between Fox’s Greta Van Susteren and single teen mom Bristol Palin, Bristol claims that expecting teens to be abstinant is “not [...]

For those who have been waiting, here is the latest update from our wonderful Mudflatter Ann Strongheart, who has been coordinating the food distribution effort in Nunam Iqua. Mudflatters have been sending flat rate boxes, stuffed with food and supplies to help Ann’s small rural Alaskan village that has been struggling so much this winter. [...]
