Rural Alaska – Let Them Eat…..Cookies?
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 nod to the old saying about a picture being worth 1000 words, and a hat tip to flyinureye!
[A note to Mudflatters - Feeling a bit under the weather, so posting may be a bit sporadic. Will try to put up open threads if comments become too numerous]
AKM, I hope you are feeling better soon – and not just so you can post more. Thanks for the sugary sweetness of Sarah’s cookies. If I don’t think about it too much, it makes me laugh – and as I’m working on taxes right now, I could use a good laugh.
Take care.
Pat
Me want T-Shirt
Pretty funny – !
Flyinureye is incredible!!! AKM, you’ve got to keep tabs on all of these so they’re ready to put in the BOOK!
Love it!
Too bad there wasn’t a booth at the CPAC selling those treats………could’ve sold to what , about 13% of the crowd ??
AKM – Get well !! Got the book flu , did ya ??
Moosecookies?
You shouldn’t have listened to Rush AKM. Take some brain bleach and have a good nights sleep. Hope you fell better very soon.
I ate one and saw God.
AKM, hope you get to feelin’ better, probably got a “virus” from that damn book!!!!
Flyinureye, very cool, love your work!
AKM stay away from “sweet sarah compassion (not)cookies” rest and get well.

@pvazwindy Moosecookies?
That made me think of a story by an old folkie named Utah Bruce Philips. The story was “Moose-turd Pie” and tells of working on the railroad and having to cook for the crew, so he served up a pie with the named ingredient to try and get out of cooking. If anyone complained about the cooking – they had to cook.
In the punch line, the biggest, meanest member of the crew took a big bite of the pie and exclaimed “MY GOD, that’s moose-turd pie!!….It’s good though.”
AKM, did GINO slip you a cookie? Hope you’re feeling better soon.
flyinureye, good one, thanks.
Tacky me, I just have to say, I love it that at least one of her five PR people is following this blog.

Y’all seen this? Talk about painful.
AKM – Take care of yourself and if you need a rest – no worries, you have left us plenty to talk about and amuse ourselves in the meantime.
Thanks for all you do (o:
P.S. I could fix you if you’d let me bake you some cookies and just move here. And that is the problem also. That some do not appreciate from my house.
Get well soon, AKM! We’re holding things down and causing more than enough trouble in your absence…
Get well soon AKM – Knew reading that dribble about Sarah in that book would come to no good. Better contact Helen and ask her what she does to ward off the evil spirits. Can’t get much eviler then old Ann Coulter don’t ya know. We’ll keep the home fires burning for ya, figuratively speaking of course.
This might make you feel better: Talk To Action cites you first in their roundup of blogs today. http://www.talk2action.org/story/2009/2/28/11588/1002
Got this from bonefish aka Krinkle Bearcat Palin on the forum.
That should, of course read “talk2action”.
As you know from my posts, I am furious at GINO and hope she is impeached, recalled, and/or prosecuted for her deeds. That said, I just do not get the big deal about the cookies. As trite as it was, it is the ONLY nice thing I have ever seen her do for another human being. AKM, may you heal quickly – you are in my thoughts and meditations.
OMG! Someone else knows about Moose Turd Pie! “It’s good though!”
flyinureye, brilliant! One teeny suggestion…”recipe” instead of “recipie.”
What a great poster or T-shirt that would make!
Lance the Boil, that was so hard to watch. I wanted to reach through the monitor and bi###-slap the lying biatch. Sorry, for flaming guys, but that video really bites. She didn’t listen to anything the man said. She was only intent on saying that the young people can get jobs if they leave the villages and come back once in awhile. ARRRRGGGHHHH!

OMG!
I did hear some guy in the background asking “are you a blogger?” hmmm, what was THAT all about? Wanting to meet the Anonymous bloggers?
Too bad Ann wasn’t there, GINO couldn’t of, wouldn’t of been able to brush off Ann like she did Nick. She has no damn respect…VAGINO!
@ Lori in Los Angeles….maybe it’s along the lines that, since I don’t understand exactly why they elected me, well then, just let them all eat “Cookies”….instead of Marie A. saying to the starving masses….Let them eat cake….later, they chopped off her head.
Here we have elected our first female Gino, and in this crisis she whips on her Betty Crocker apron and bakes cookies….so female of her…so setting us back 150 yrs. She has ignored their pleas for months and months, and out of deperation, one elder calls out for help….and she brings with her priests, boxed food and cookies! Oh ya, as an Alaskan I am NOT sooo proud of her. Queen Gino (Taliban) you really out did yourself this time.

Me too. Her lack of respect made me furious. And to compare her idiot of a husband’s experience to what these folks are going through made me want to slap her again.
Love it flyinureye! Hope you feel better soon AKM, I just KNEW reading that book could give you cooties.
I think the inspiration for the cookies was that Sarah probably thought it would add to the photo op. Imagine a line of cheering little native kids so happy to see their GINO. I have no doubt Samaritan’s Purse is shipping video copies to every church in the country, expecting a boost in donations.
While I’m glad to see food FINALLY start trickling in from Sam’s Purse to help the Villagers, it just seems so calculated at the same time. Call me cynical.
Feel better AKM! Take a few days off and DO NOT watch reruns of CPAC as I am doing now. It makes for very a bad decision regarding the consumtion of alcohol.
I want a t-shirt too!
@ the problem child. thanks for that link, am looking it over. Look what I found there about GINO.
“Faith Based” mental health approaches, including in the area of suicide prevention, appears to be growing more common and in early 2008 Alaska Governor Sarah Palin appointed Northwinds Global Minstries Director Pat Donelson to the Alaska Suicide Prevention Council, where Donelson led a New Apostolic program in prophecy for youth “joining an end-time army.” Donelson is also the co-founder of Carry The Cure, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit which bills itself as a suicide prevention charity that brings a suicide prevention message to schools. But some of the Carry the Cure program material appears to carry messages unusual in the context of suicide prevention, sch as a Carry the Cure heavy-metal song the group plays in schools and which urges teens to carry out a revolution. On its federal tax forms Carry the Cure describes its mission as: “Religious – Evangelism”. Sarah Palin joined the Advisory Board of Carry the Cure in 2000.
This reminds me of Sue Ann Nivens in old series, Mary Tyler Moore, but, I am dating myself here.
Lori in LA:
Yes, the cookies were a thoughtful gesture, but the problem I have with it is with the superficiality. It just strikes me that she is the Governor!! and has real power to address the situation in a substantive way. And the best thing she seems to be able to do it bring cookies.
@jwa (17:13:40) :
OMG, I grew up on that song! I love it! (Except of course that it turns out that moose don’t make big flat moose turds, they make tidy little nuggets with which Alaskans make lovely souvenirs for tourists!)
I was surfing the channels on TV. I caught the tail end of MSNBC Investigates. The title was, Lockup: Inside Alaska-Life inside Alaska’s Spring Creek Correctional Center. How befitting that this is on considering the line of succussion for governor. It airs again at midnight which would be 8pm AK time.
Okay. I am still punishing myself watching CPAC reruns. Newt is on and the crowd keeps going wild. WTF? This guy has not done ONE THING since he resigned his house seat in 1999 (under the cover of scandal). When will these people get a clue?
Oh, and I just noticed that Limpbaugh had one more person at the panel table than Newt. Newt had one, Limpbaugh had two.
Were the cookies left over from the Christmas open house?
LOL, Karin, I was watching that too and thought it was total BS, so I quit watching it. I don’t think they’ll ever get a clue, especially with Rush L. being their “Messiah”.

@Women Who Run With The Wolves
Let them eat cake….later, they chopped off her head
—————— they say history repeats itself, so I’ll be waiting
AND Oh ya, as an Alaskan I am NOT sooo proud of her
—————— so you know what to do….VOTE! get her out of office before she devours us all.
And to think if it weren’t for that idiot mccain, palin would be still hiding in alaska doing damage
Lance the Boil thank you for posting that video, painful though it was to watch. What disrepect for the human race she exudes. This is the response she gives to the man that respectfully and courageuosly brought this crisis to attention almost 2 mos. ago? I am sending it to everyone I can think of.
Nicholas Tucker deserves respect, recognition and an award for bravery for even speaking to her. Palin is proving to the world she will do anything to get what she wants. She is sly, conniving and despicable. I am beyond appalled
AKM, please rest up and get well. It must have been the book. I suggest chicken soup, and good hot herb tea. Take care.

Yep, also too I agree also. If Alaskans, also too, do not agree then they can kiss my arse and go out and run for office and mooch off the state just like I do/did!

Didn’t Jingleberry talk about “sulfurous smells” in his exorcist paper?
I think GINO could righteously qualify for that!
Thank you Lance the Boil for the link. I have tears running down my face.
Mr. Tucker spoke so well. Each time she started her political knee jerk answer, he stopped her by speaking up, he who spoke truth, knowing and understanding her’s was the sound of political rhetoric. I admire and respect Mr. Tucker. It is not easy for elders to ask for help. Elders have a pride that they provide for their families and would be doing so under different circumstances. Mr. Tucker stepped beyond that pride to ask. Bravo Mr. Tucker.
LOL, did you hear at the beginning when Nick introduced himself to Parnell, He said to Nick, “You’re a good blogger”. Aren’t you a blogger? and Nick says, “No, I’m not”. Gino is so sickening, she turns her back on him towards the ending while he’s still talking. Yes, he does deserve an award for standing up to GINO.
BigSlick and Crystalwolf, you two are too hilarious.
She says Yes I respect that, then she turns her ugly GINO back on him. I guess her and I have different views on respect.
Get the kids hi on sugar and they will fallow the lord or a wolf in the night… until the addition takes control.
Sugar is a drug much like alcohol. Are natives for many years and in many cultures, have been drugged into submission for white mans desires, with distilled and refined sugars.
Are non native culture has build up a greater tolerance of Alcohol/sugars than our native cultures. I remember when I was a kid going to church every week, the pressure to be good was enforced by my folks and the church by sugar. If I was a good christian and believed in the bible, I got a big box of M&M’s every Christmas from the church. To this day I reward myself with sugar. I know better but since I don’t drink alcohol, I go for sugar.
All I’m trying to say is that, sugar is such an old game to convert believers or to control the out come. I wonder how much refined sugar was in those boxes.

Lori in Los Angeles – here’s the deal with Palin’s “gift” of cookies. You have people who for months now have had to decide – do we eat or do we heat? And in comes Sarah with a plateful of cookies – and no solution (other than move) or real governing.
It’s a bit like the evangelicals who go to a village, and there they find a man starving in, pray for them, then go on their merry way. The only ones who feel better are the evangelicals – the man is still starving, isn’t he? But the point of their visit wasn’t to feed the hungry or warm the freezing but to feel better about themselves – the great Christian hope swooping in with their meager plate of cookies and even more meager compassion.

What gets me about that exchange is the patronizing, pasted-on smirk Parnell has on his face. I half expect him to reach out and pat these people on the head. The look in his eyes seems to plainly say – Get me out of the bush and back to Anchorage.
She just lied right through her teeth! The older lady in the background reminded me of my mom. I know if she were here today, she would call it what it is a bunch of BS! Do you honestly think she will read the letter. That was sad for the people.
As for having young people leave and go back, she still doesnt address that this was brought up to her while she was running for VP, Begich is the one who was calling for more programs. Her husband isnt native, this is something we should contact the BIA or the corporations should figure out a way for us to check. I believe it is fraud, to claim this and not be able to document it. So, she is willing to put all these natives into the programs, then let her do it. we will see how far she gets!
UGH1
That’s brill, flyinureye.
What is so malaprop about GINO, is that she’s the Governor [in name only], who can declare a state of emergency and airlift food and fuel, the necessities of life, that the community of Eammonauk require immediately, who have let her know of the impending emergency 8 months ago, due to the early freeze up of transporting said necessities for the winter. yet GINO Did Nothing.
So bringing f***ing cookies is a bloody insult to all the outland communities. Period. She’s no pitbull, in lipstick or otherwise, just another ass kisser.
/rant.
LOL jwa, that’s brill, I’ve heard a similar story, but, damn they’re good. LOL.
In Canada, I’m familiar with the term ‘road apples’… these GINO cookies must be moose nuggets and they’re good to use as fuel, in a pinch, without the varnish. In Newfoundland, they coat them in varnish and sell them…I shit you not.
If Big Slick is seeing god, you grabbed the magic one, oops.

Now to go see that video
My daughter is 1/8, she was not able to enroll her children in the BIA, they said that they do not qualify.
It’s a girls nite out tonight. We will be meeting and going over what has happen in the news this past week. We are all long time Alaskan women, most are born and raised in this State. We are educators, business owners, commercial fisherman, and construction workers. We all are female and we all have full time jobs, plus raising our children. When Gino tries to run again for Governor…we all will be protesting with signs and with our voting booths. Can you say….angry!
By the way, SarahPac is conducting a survey in Alaska re: Gino’s likability. One of my friends got a phone call and was asked if they would vote for Gino in the future…my dear friend, not only said NO…but F**K NO! I am upset that they haven’t called me yet…What the HECK!

There are some corporations who just moved to include descendants, not to be confused with the 1/4 blood quantum. In Sealaska they are called the left outs. But it is different with each corporation. They arent entitled to the benefits of those who meet the 1/4 blood quantum from the BIA.
If you claim you are native and arent, I beleive there are penalities, but I m not sure if this is , tribal, state or federal. I believe the federal people can step in to see if he was hired under native preference, if so and he isnt native, then thats fraud. If she is claiming he went through one of these programs and he isnt registered, they can find out and it is much like if I filled out an application and put down , that I was ‘hispanic;’ and Im not able to prove it, I can get into big trouble.

Who?
Just saw “that” video, also saw the other one – the one that left a smile on my face.
Nicholas Tucker is a lovely human being. And in spite of his saying he doesn’t have power, his words were mighty powerful from the get go. They drew together people from all over the country, and from around the world.
And all SP could do was to say the “young people” need to – she just has no idea, does she? She has no idea that HER idea of what will work may not be 1. the ONLY thing that will work, but that 2. her idea of what’s “right” for her may not be right for everyone!
Dang. Looks like the only way for the folks to keep their villages is to figure things out for themselves.
Nicholas Tucker was talking to a wall for the entire time he spoke to Sarah Palin. She took advantage of a photo op and that was the beginning, middle, and end of it.
Thanks Lance the Boil for the link to Nicholas Tucker.
I think, like Nan, that Nicholas does have power because his words are weapons (in a good way).
AKM, I hope you get lots of rest and feel better soon.

Yes! If GINO’s head WAS chopped off, we’d see and hear a lot less from her, yeah?
from ADN, Alaska Ear: Let’s talk about Bristol, who appears to have inherited her mother’s sense of humor.
It seems that people wanting to support the efforts of the World Wildlife Fund against Alaska’s hunting and predator control policies have been making donations and directing the fund to send the fuzzy stuffed animals one gets in return to Gov. Palin.
An earwig in a position to actually know something once in a while says Bristol called her mom last week to report three more stuffed wolves had shown up at the house.
Mom wondered (perhaps not sincerely?) what they might send the WWF fans as a thank-you for the stuffed wolves.
Bristol suggested packages of moose meat might be just the thing.
what an intelligent, articulate native…and palin was obviously just giving him her time because of the camera being there. she’s all BS and he knew that! this video was priceless. hope it gets out to the elite media where they actually care about reporting what’s real. she makes me sick!
I watched the other video where she speaks to rural Alaska. The only thing she can come up for jobs for them is VPSO. Hmmm, thought that is part of the reason Walt got fired. Was no money in the budget for them and the AST. 16 more positions for VPSO, what about the rest of the population? LOL, since I read she don’t like the name GINO, I just want to keep repeating it. Btw, loved the theme song GINO.
Mr. Tucker is one hero, here are two more…
I’ve just posted a letter that Ann and Victoria will soon be submitting to The Alaska Dispatch. It includes many thoughtful suggestions to improve life in rural Alaskan villages.
anonymousbloggers.wordpress.com –sorry, I got blocked before, link?
It’s a must read – must comment!
Thanks!

I still find it amazing that one of the sponsors of the 2009 CPAC was TeamSarah. Guess they got tired of just screwing up the political debate in Alaska.
On a lighter note, GINO still hasn’t run out of high school friends to insulate her from the big bad world. She changed the states Line of Succession to include as 3rd in line after the Lt. Governor, the Head of the Department of Corrections. Billy Boy McAllister noted that he was a high school friend of the Governors which of course means he qualified to do anything within the state government I guess. So now instead of the Attorney General being 3rd line, we have one of the GINO’s high school pals who I’m sure is qualified to run the state. This is a man who received a 96% disapproval rating from the members of the Department and Palin said this was just a sign of his trying to change things. You know, he was just trying to be all mavericky, to be a part of a Team of Mavericks. In reality though, given the abilities of Palin and Parnell I’m not sure that he is really that big of a step down.
Now you tell me that if you’re in the middle of one questionable ethics decision after another, do you install another high school buddy into a position of increased power? At what point does it stick in her pointy head to just lay low and try to run the state..and not run it into the ground as she seems to like to do?
My roommate just suggested that my last comment could be perceived as threatening to GINO – pfft. I made a lame joke. No slander or libel there, no way, no how, sorry.
OT but relating to GINO, I’ve been trying to garner info about the Seven Mountains, Apostolic “church” and Thomas Muthee, etc. but I’ve had a hard go of it – besides the information of which most people are aware. I know that this “end times” sect was apparently started decades ago, and it’s crazy that it still goes on, however, I’ve had no success in “getting any dirt” about it. They evidently keep their information very guarded. Perhaps I need to try to make like Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone magazine and infiltrate their Jesus Camps as an art instructor (as if I would get in). If I had the time and the financial backing, I would want to make Seven Mountains a research project. Paula? I’m looking forward to reading your findings.
I think it is possible that Sarah brought home made cookies in response to the question as to what she had done PERSONALLY to help the people in western Alaksa. Just a thought.
feel better soon akm.
Can someone sent Jon Stewart and SNL the story of Palin appointing Schmidt, her old high school friend as third in line successor for Governor?
Is the line of succession not constitutionally determined? I’m amazed the gov has the authority to make that decision. Besides, given the ability to choose, I figured she’d put Mr too-cool-for-words-goatee man Todd in place.
Sue wrote: I think it is possible that Sarah brought home made cookies in response to the question as to what she had done PERSONALLY to help the people in western Alaksa. Just a thought.
I agree, Sarah was aiming to give a “personal touch” in order to impress upon her supporters and the media that she cares about her rural Alaskan constituents in peril. She was putting what you would call “spin” on a crisis situation.
Sarah Palin is a pawn of Big Oil. It’s so obvious.
Thanks to people like Ann S. and Nicholas, AKM, Immoral Minority, Celtic Diva, Shannyn Moore, Andrew Halcro (I’m sure I left someone out, sorry) and more – and all of the thousands of individuals who have their “bullshit detector” on – Sarah isn’t going to be able to bake cookies much longer – unless she can have an oven in her jail cell and I don’t think electrical appliances are permitted in penitentiaries.
Sarah Palin will no longer be the self-imposed queen of Alaska in due time. The people will have spoken and the FBI will have done their job.
Alaskans will finally be able to cast out the wicked witch.
I hope for that to happen soon. It WILL happen. Dontcha know. Also.
amazing picture of how stressed and spaced-out GINO looks these days.
Check out the eyes and the lack of botox. I do not see how she will “energize” those horny old white guys in 2012. pity.

OK, “Cookies for Christ” just doesn’t make it when people are starving. And putting an End Times person in charge of Suicide Prevention is amazingly ironic. Sickening and sick.

What I totally WISH is that some savvy person could load it on YouTubes, it should have only taken perhaps 1/2 hour to load there in order to watch. Then, there will be a worldwide viewing and a heck of a lot more “hits” on this most needed clip.
Governor Palin goes far beyond the “call of duty” to maintain the integrity of Alaska. She was not found to have done anything wrong. The questionable trips were only 10 out of 72 and those 9 were certainly debatable as the rules of the Personnel Board are very vague. She has already saved Alaska about $100,000 with her per diem arrangement and another $25,000 by refusing to accept the raise she was due. In addition her fiscal management of the state has been impressive to say the least. People who don’t understand this,just don’t want to understand it. They have their own political agenda. Best to just ignore them!
Those who disrespect Gov. Palin are only disrespecting themselves. If there were a compilation (and there may be somewhere) of all the unprecedented vitriolic slander directed at this absolutely charming intelligent and RESPECTFUL woman, it would deserve a place of honor in a Hall Of Shame.
I have come to the conclusion that certain types of people need scapegoats and sacrificial victims to satisfy some kind of atavistic sadism that compels them to attack what is beautiful and good. Any NORMAL human being, would be able to see that Sarah Palin is a down to earth good person and agree or disagree with her policies and positions, afford the high respect that is her DUE, that she DESERVES, for her honest work on behalf of the American People and her lifelong efforts to live in a loving, intelligent and moral life.
Okay, now about my perceptions of the “Governor Palin talks with Nicholas Tucker” video, after watching it 3 times.
Mr. Tucker is a true HERO is every sense of the word! He has invested so much tireless work and compassion in aiding the hurting and needy people in the Villages. He has also shared the bounty of incoming donations with other Villages.
I’m not surprised Mr. Tucker held his ground and his dignity in dealing with GINO’s rhetoric and Parnell’s smirks. And all she could respond with was more rhetoric. This video needs to be seen by more people around the country & the world! So that they can further understand that “Emmonak is Yup’ik for Katrina.”
Gee I didn’t read anything here on what they did for the starving.
That was an emotional ride – first the belly laugh for the great graphic (just perfect!) and then the horror of Lance’s link. I had found the text of this a couple of days ago, but it just didn’t make sense til I saw it.
No respect for Mr Tucker and all she did was speel her STUPID sound bites, which made no sense to him. Parnell was obviously dead weight and should have been thrown off the plane to make more room for food (not cookies). He wouldn’t know a blogger if one bit him in the butt. The letter that Mr. Tucker wrote was torture for him to write and had NOTHING to do with blogging. Parnell, do us a favor and go join Codpiece in exile please.
I needed something to cheer me after that video – and I hope it helps bring some of you back from that horrible interview with hope, as it did me:
More clear and resounding voices, like Mr. Tucker’s, from rural Alaska:

here_in_PA
My father was a minister (east coastl Methodist,) and I studied theology at Boston University graduate school. He had a PhD from NYU, and marched in the Civil Rights protests in the 60s and 70s. (It took him 10 years to get that degree.) I hardly want to call myself Christian these days because it is not what I know to be human kindness, much less Christianity. It is very discouraging.
Gute Besserung AKM! Sending you a virtual cup of sage tea and hope you have somebody there making you a real one.
And Mr. Tucker and Ms. Strongheart for Governor and Lt. Gov. then good things would get done…
Ah, stupid sound bites from Libertah – ho hum. Been there, done that – heard that for 8 years. There is no greater joy in my life that the return to intelligence, critical thinking and compassion in our country. Your voice Libertah, rings hollow and mean, and no one here will listen to you. See ya!
No one here hears you.
Awww — Paul Harvey died at age 90
Paul Harvey, the legendary radio host whose career sharing “the rest of the story” with listeners spanned more than 70 years, has died, according to ABC Radio Networks.
Didn’t always like his politics – but enjoyed his stories …..
Yes, MinNJ, I’ve met quite a few of so call christians, some live in my neighborhood. They are the most hypocryitical, judgemental, uncompassionate people I have ever met. They turn their backs on those in need and confess to be Christian. What a joke.
I didn’t hear anything either — MinNJ
My sister and I were on the phone and considering the situation, I told her that GINO brought cookies. We laughed so hard about that. All she can do is bring cookies. GINO, what did you do to help out the rural crisis? I baked cookies and handed them out. How stupid does that sound?
Those who disrespect Gov. Palin are only disrespecting themselves. If there were a compilation (and there may be somewhere) of all the unprecedented vitriolic slander directed at this absolutely charming intelligent and RESPECTFUL woman, it would deserve a place of honor in a Hall Of Shame.
I have come to the conclusion that certain types of people need scapegoats and sacrificial victims to satisfy some kind of atavistic sadism that compels them to attack what is beautiful and good.

Our silence speaks louder. And cookies? Really, what was the photo-op for her? It was not for them, and that is insulting.
Evening all,
AKM–Get well soon!!
I am waiting for the video to load on dial up, probably be here all night
I updated my diary and also put up some pictures my hubby took from around the village of our snow MOUNTAINS aka drifts.
find them here:

P.S. I might be adopting another village to help them get donations for fuel. They are having a Tribal Council Meeting next week I’ll let y’all know if they decide to let me help them here and on anonymousbloggers. Also I will try to have an update to AKM tomorrow, weather permitting Samaritans Purse is supposed to be bring in 1540 lbs of food to Nunam Iqua.
Thanks Ann. WOW, when do you find the time??? You are a great organizer.
Regards development – I keep getting ads here in Germany for Alaska Pollock (I hope that is the right translation for Alaska Seelachs) and I don´t know if I should buy it anymore? I´ll ask the company that is selling it (Bofrost) where they get it… Thanks for the eyeopeners.
The world is small and some of what I do in faraway Germany might have an impact on your markets in Alaska.
AKM, perfect job on that, but from now on, whenever you depict Sarah Palin
please let it be that Sarah Palin
the wicked witch
is dead
dead
dead
My father died at 63 and my mother at 70. Paul Harvey got a gift, and it wasn’t mine.
OK OK OK…
I am pissed!!! I just watched about 2 minutes of the video of GINO with Nicholas Tucker. How long was the video? It took me over an hour to get those two minutes.
What was the dialogue after Nick said “We have allowed other people coming into” Thats as far as my dial up got to before it cut out.
Anyone feel up to trying to put up some kind of transcript? Or emailing one to me???
I am sooo unbelievably pissed off right now. I have for the most part refrained from Palin bashing here. Trying to focus on the positive. Trying to get help for my people but I just completely LOST IT watching that little bit of video I managed to download.
I was pacing, and telling my hubby…OOOH I wish I could have been there. Poor Nick, he is such a soft spoken, respected elder and SP doesn’t give a rats a$$ about him.
We were kind of watching it in slow motion as it was loading so slowly and could really see SP’s facial expressions to Nick’s comments. Hubby and I just started cussing when we watched her face when Nick mentioned the Government having the power and not him because you could just see SP’s face light up!
OMG I am soooo unbelievably pissed right now!!! OOOh I wish I had been there first to shout out YEP I AM A BLOGGER!!! and then to use my “LOUD MOUTH” that I am known for and let her have it!!! I am sorry but you have to earn respect and from what I saw on that video, SP had none for our esteemed elder.
OOOH I gotta stop, I can’t type anything else. I just want to jump in that video and lay it out, and tell her exactly what I think of her and her inability to do anything but be a power hunger ***** ***** ****** ***** *****
I am afraid if I cuss anymore this post will go to spam LOL
Ok I need to go I can’t even type any more. I can’t afford a new laptop so I need to get off of here before I throw this out one out the window.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Yes Ann & Hubby! It was bad and totally disrespectful. Like I said in my post:

I don’t know how to do a YouTube, but this seriously needs to be shared with all us ‘dialups’.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-AES-LZeT0
Just found this on youtube. The interview!
Mr. Tucker is fantastic. The first time I see somebody not impressed and talked down by SP talking points. He just PLODS on and lets all her wishy washy responses evaporate in his honest, direct and fantastic way. I am so impressed by him.
When he says “That´s barely enough….” GREAT!!!!
@ lettersfromeurope (01:42:06)
Bless you Dear Blogger! I scratched every which way possible at YouTubes to get it! But during my 4 hour wait, could find nothing. Reading the comments, I was determined to see it.
Ann, looks like it was 4:41 minutes. Think I will watch it again. And start writing a check for cooking fuel for PIP.
Well, one has to admit that GINO in her clueless idiocy has a way of making angry pajama clad bloggers start reaching for their wallets. hehehe.
GINO has probably brought in more donations to Villagers, Planned Parenthood, & Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund than they ever could have imagined. Those outfits are probably in shock that GINO’s MOUTH is a ‘gift that just can’t stop giving’.
its 5:30 Am, the puppy just woke me up and WTF am I doing here? Anyway its nice to see that SP is in 4th place in the RNC straw poll, and I am PROUD that my Gov., probably soon to be US Senator Crist only got 1% of that vote. Now if he would just get rid of our USELESS Lt. Gov. and his $400K travel budget over the last 2 years. He actually had the GALL to have the FST place fly him and his family from Ft Meyers to Tallahasse for a FOOTBALL GAME!!!
yep Ann, that Youtube worked pretty fast in comparison. For Mr. Tucker’s dignified stance:

I don’t comment often but how inspiring the humble, quiet leadership of Ned Tucker to step up and be the spokesperson for his people. To see him set Sarah straight as only he could…. GINO deeply saddens me as she is totally out of touch with some of whom she represents…Alaska truly deserves a Gov who is in touch with the needs of the Alaskan people and a gov who can respect the cultural differences of people. Her inattention to Mr Tucker reminded me of the race baiting that went on in the repub campaign, how little respect GINO shows for others, such as community organizers, people with different sounding names, people she perceives as not being like her….
I hope AKM you’re on the road to recovery, I tell everyone, (I,m an herbalist); and the best and least expensive way I’ve found to stop a cold/flu in its tracks is to pump in the VIT C I buy the powedered packets of EMERGEN-C at your local health food store, or any large dept type store with a vitamin section I go up to 10,000 mgs of vit c per day…at 10,000 you may be in the bathroom alot…..but usually I only need to do the 10,000 for one day and then the next few days I take 3-5,000 mgs/day and the go down to 1,000 mgs/day after that. I do this since i’m self employed and the BOSS doesn’t give me sick time…..
Hope this helps…I’ll be sending some virtual cookies to all

BigSlick – “Sarah is like a bad wind……..” Was that a nice way to say flatulence ??
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Nick Tucker is the salt of the Earth, and calling him such expresses his strength and permanence. He will not back down, as we have seen on video now, even when Sarah insults him. Even when Sarah insults the entire native community leadership with her many comments attempting to lay blame for the current crisis at the feet of the tribal elders, Nick Tucker sought her out to reason with her. And she failed to engage in responsible and intelligent dialog.
I am not sure about Alaska’s native culture, but the native cultures I have had contact with in North and Central America all refer to “bad spirits” borne upon the wind, who are usually temporary nuisances but sometimes wreak havoc if not dealt with properly.
In Western Mexico, you will often hear people talking about the need to be careful of “mal aire” (translated: “bad air”) or “evil spirits” that can enter/exit you when you yawn or cough, thus the covering of the mouth or turning away is a custom among these people.
In fact, the word “malaria” comes from this expression, referring to bad swamp air as the probable cause well before it was discovered that it was actually carried airborne from victim to victim by mosquitoes.
But I could go with calling Sarah a bad fart that seems to linger, too.
Also. Even.
I watched the you tube. Mr Tucker was very brave and determined and he approached in a dignified but humble way. SP started out being polite and condescending but then she seemed to start to realize that he had something to say. She decided to grace him with her preplanned response. He would not be deterred ………I think she knew she did not have an answer,or just felt discomfort(no thoughts) and that was too much for her; so she moved on; pretending to be a queen- the meeting was concluded and turned to another one of her subjects. Mr Tucker was selfless and acting for the good of his people ;and I am pretty sure the whole thing was not easy for him but he did what he needed to do. I know that he will continue.
BigSlick – Sarah = temporary nuisance = bad fart. Works for me.
As another poster stated days ago, Sarah Palin is “small potatoes.” She shows this in all her teleprompter talks and inane ramblings. She’s good for only one thing: representing the extreme “End of Days” religious right wing – and that’s what she’s doing.
She’s not qualified to be President and it’s only the religious extremists (not mainstream Christians) and people just this side of the KKK who support her.
She’s not qualified to be President and it’s only the religious extremists (not mainstream Christians) and people just this side of the KKK who support her.
_____________________
and on…..I don’t think she’s acted well as Governor, but the thought of her running for President is absurd.
This is a very low class, unfunny dig at the Governor. Franklin Graham and Samitan’s purse provide assistance to needy regardless of religious affiliation internationally. They are highly respected everywhere. Governor Palin’s initiative to combine state with private christian and other support groups is wise since the state is restricted on what they can do. As usual she is doing what is in the best interests of Alaska.
As far as comments about publicity seeking, if she wanted to, she could be on tv and radio for the next year and a half, there have been so many requests for interviews etc. Instead she continues to stay in Alaska and govern wisely.
Okey dokey……….we’ll see how the cookie crumbles………
I think the graphic is very funny,polished, and says it all. I enjoyed the post. I am pleased that the snap of Mr Hunter has been included.I do not agree with Thomas McMahan.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, OMG, tears falling down face, laughing so hard my stomach hurts…….
Ann- He gave a very moving speech as to what the natives need, how the poils of Alaska were from their land, how the children would be needed to care for the elders and she goes off bragging how Todd the Native left for work but comes back to the village (assuming thier 1/2 Mill home is a village unto itself???).
I watched that and watched her face and seeing her nod I just knew while he spoke that in her head she was thinking “blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, get a job.”
And somehow I didn’t notice that “greeted warmly” they reported a few days ago.
AKM- Hope you feel better soon. Take good drugs/drink & sleep through it.
Glad the videos made it onto youtube.
I have to go check out the RNC poll to see GINO lose. Down, down, down…
Mr McMahon,
Separation of church and state is a foundational principle of our Constitution. There is a GOOD reason for this. If one believes the the End Times are coming soon, the focus of the “giving” is to garner souls, not help people to sustain themselves.
Giving WITHOUT STRINGS has been a challenge for Samaritan’s Purse. In the Scriptural story of the Samaritan, there were NO strings…just pure kindness. If that was the case here, there would have been no need for a photo op.
This governor needs to use state resources to help these villages become sustainable…not just bake cookies and call it good.
Actually, Mr. McMahon, we are relatively high class humorous mudpuppies and our pj’s are to die for… as an aside, this may not be your favorite blog. Have another cookie, and a wonderful day, also.
Thomas McMahan…are you Dud in disguise…govern wisely??? I don’t live in Alaska, but that is the exaggerated statement of the year. Sarah’s “mission” with Graham came only after the crises in the Native Villages were brought to light and documented by bloggers who paid for an independent documetary maker to film their plight and got it on the front page of CNN.
Sarah’s message to them was get a job on the slope like Todd did and get some Jesus in your life or your all be doomed. These people are not asking for handouts…just respect for their way of life which has sustained them for thousands of years. Commerical fishing and mining endangers their economic sustainability, but I guess you know nothing about that.
As far as Sarah doing interviews…maybe one of those dozens of PR people she has working for her finally got it through her thick skull to keep a low profile. Everytime she does a national interview it turns into a disaster for her politically because she is so woefully ignorant.
My grandmother had Native American in her parentage, of which I have been trying to get info about, and have a special place in my heart for the NA’s. It hurt me to see Mr. Tucker express his true feelings, his frustration, in a kind manner to her, and her response was void of feeling, especially when Mr. Tucker seemingly was trying to hold back tears. It made me tear up…….so the response of GINO was evasive and cold shoulder.
Her reply, pushing white man’s agenda on delicate issues about employment away from villages is not thought out. Why didn’t she put her arm around him, pull him away from the camera and offer to meet with him personally. I understand these people, their way of life is all they know and they are proud of it, as well they should be. They should have the priviledge and choice of their younger generation to stay at home with elder relatives, instead of moving away – it tears these communities apart.
As for the cookies, it is more of an insult. When Jesus drew the crowds to speak, he made sure all of them first were fed, and another time multiplied fish and loaves.
Hiya feelin’ today AKM? It was that sickening book that made you ill, wasn’t it? You were warned to ingest that rubbish in small dosages….
Be well and encouraged to continue, even if you have to upchuck and discard the book…for I think that we can figure out “the rest of the story.”
;-}
AKM, I prescribe, sleep, tea and cookies. Not the empty, shallow, tasteless ones that GINO made, but real, honest-to-goodness, delights that make you want more.
Feel mo’ bettah, AKM.
and great job flyinyereye! A photoshop professional if I ever saw one!
I thought I would try and write up a transcript of the video mentioned above. I may not have all the text correct, but you can certainly get the sense of the video.
Russian Mission. SP meeting residents. Scene is inside a building with a large crowd, lots of background noise, quite crowded, all are dressed in outdoor clothes. Video is shot from behind Nicholas ‘Tucker (NT) mostly over his left shoulder. Audio picks up who he is talking to, but does not pick up his comments very well, so the video has his comments in text on the screen.
Starts with NT shaking hands with a man to the left of SP.
NIcholas introduces himself .
Man: Hi Nicholas, nice to meet you too. Are you a good blogger? Aren’t you a blogger?
NT: I’m not a blogger.
Man: No.. OK. (unintelligble).. that was a very good one.
Scene cuts to a few moments later with NT talking to SP.
Someone off screen says to SP : This is Nick Tucker.
SP: So good to meet you.
NT: I’m Nick Tucker from Emmonak. First of all I want to thank you, for the fact that you acknowledged the needs of our people, not only in Emmonak, but throughout, and as a common citizen, I have deep respect for government because they have power and I don’t.
SP : You know….(unintelligible).. (gives NT a hug)
NT: And one of the things is, don’t forget us. The thing is, this is temporary help but we need sustainable jobs, fisheries.
And you know, we’re an oil rich state, and from our cries and our suffering we have allowed other people to coming into
SP: Yes,…Yes..
NT: (unintelligble)… Now look what happened.
SP: Here’s what we are trying to do, also. Allowing our young people in rural Alaska … to recognize it is their resource… and development of those resources needs to …..
NT: We need you to come out and make sure you get things done for us. Because you can, you can help us with the Denaili Commission and any other resource that we can come up with. BIA’s helping right now and who else can we look up to?
SP: Right working together, you and the local communities and state government, we going to be able to allow the economies to be revitalized and job opportunities for the young people.
NT: Yes, I appreciate your help but that’s barely enough. We want to get restored back to who we are. The Native people are very strong people and this is probably the only time that they cried out for help.
SP: I recognize that.
NT: They’re hungry, I mean they’re not starving, they’re hungry. On your way home, you can read my original letter. These are from real people that started the outcry, and respect for who they are.
(NT motions toward a women standing to his right. SP turns toward the woman and puts her hand on the woman’s back. The woman says “Hi”, and SP says “How are you doing” . We also now see a second woman next to the first . SP to second woman:
SP: So nice to meet you, what is your name?
SP turns toward 2nd woman and bends over to hear the name.
2nd Woman: (unintelligble)
SP Turns back to first woman.
SP: What is your name?
1st Woman: Natalia (hard to hear the name)
SP: So nice to meet you Natalia.
NT (handing SP the letter): You know the oil money and everything else came out of our land.
SP: I’ll read …(unintelligble).
NT: We want you to think about this. We have a long way to go. The healthier, more jobs in the villages, more opportunities, you wouldn’t have to come back to us…..
(Now we see a young girl in background standing next to the 1st woman).
SP: Also, Mr Tucker, we’ll let people know, young people in these areas also, that its not just the jobs inside the villages, but good resource development jobs with the mining and with the oil production and fisheries even if they are outside the villages. Like my husband, who grew up in Dillingham, the native village of Dillingham, he worked on the North Slope (these?) years, so he could come back to the village and participate in the community then go off to work, then come back..
NT: Our culture is to tied into us. It’s hard for us to live in Anchorage because of all the discrimination and things like that.
SP: Right, see that’s what these resource development jobs allow, just like with my husband, he didn’t have to leave forever the village, he would be gone, .. be off….
NT: Like her, (motions toward the young girl standing in beside him) she’s going to grow up to take care of us. She will need a job.
SP: Yes
NT: They will. I don’t do politics. I come from the heart and the sorrow of our people.
SP: I respect you for that, Thank you, Thank you so much. I appreciate that and I’ll read (this).

Mr. McMahan: Thanks but no thanks for your assessment. Regarding helping those in need, Christ said “Let not your right hand know what your left is doing.” In Sarah’s case she’s all over the place with the cookies, food, and cameras rolling for personal political gain. How sad. I don’t know about Franklin Graham, Sarah’s crass acts speak for themselves.
OK the YouTube video is uploading
But I just read that transcript that RLS typed up and now I am not so sure I want to watch it.
Because I can just imagine her completely not paying attention to our elder Nick, and doing her perky caribou barbie, howdie doody, i-am-so-happy, look-there’s-a-camera, i-am-so-special-because-i-was-McCain’s-mumbling-village-idiot attitude that she does.
Question who is the guy that makes the ANONYMOUS BLOGGER comment, I thought I heard someone say Carl? When we tried to watch it hubby thought at the end that man said..thought you were a girl. But I heard good one. I’ll see in awhile when the video uploads.
Ok, my coffee’s done. I need a cup before I try to digest this video. I have to get ready for Samaritan’s Purse coming today.

@ Ann Strongheart….I can upload the video, but I am refusing to watch it. Iam so sorry for the way that jerk, Parnell treated Nick and refrencing the bloggers. Is Parnell so out of touch, that he clearly cannot see that this man is elderly and really would not be on a computer, blogging away. You can tell a lot about a man’s character by the way he treats his animals and the elderly. Parnell is a “Putz”.
And the way our Queen Taliban Gino in all her pastel colors and major make up, talked down to Mr. Tucker. All of us in Alaska should be use to the way she plays this game, as she talks down to everyone. She is also a “Putz”.
So sad, after this elderly man cried out for help, so Alaska’s government could help his people. She shows up with priests, boxed food, and cookies. It was staged for a photo shoot, Queen Taliban Gino has NO SHAME!
Oh, Ann. So glad and grateful that you are so ‘stronghearted’. I’ll be thinking of you today as you meet with the Samaritan’s Purse people. Hope they’re paying attention – they could learn a lot from you.
Do not feed the trolls!
My. my. Is it troll season, also?
Rightway- you know your going the wrongway…and obviously someone here would say that & more.Dummy Troll
Oh, I love it when we waste those idiots’ time!
Can someone please pass a tissue…? It just breaks my heart when someone so clueless like, “onway or rightway” has no idea what the H*ll they are drooling about. Poor Queen Taliban Gino…she’s soooo misunderstood, always the victim, it’s everone elses fault not mine. So, I don’t understand how to govern Alaska, how can that be my fault. Stop picking on me!
Got news for you rightway…she’s not gonna get relected as gov. Oh H*ll she isn’t even qualified to be the dog catcher in Savoonga….
Dear ‘rightway’…
This is not a ‘hate Sarah’ blog. This is an EXPOSE Sarah (and anyone LIKE her) for what she IS blog! WE didn’t MAKE her this way, she CHOOSES to be this way.
And as far as our country goes, we went down the Bush rat hole for eight years. All Obama can do now is his best to fix that which the Republicans broke. It is COMMON political practice to put the responsibility of the country’s economic condition squarely on the shoulders of the imcumbent. Do you REALLY think for a moment that Sen. McCain would have it any easier right now, had HE been elected? Do you really think the Democrats AS A WHOLE would have voted ‘NO’ to McCains economic recovery plan? Do you REALLY think that the Democrats as a whole would have displayed such a ‘sour grapes’ loosers responce? Do you REALLY think for a moment, that come the NEXT House/Senate election cycle, any or all Rebublicans will not be called onto the carpet for thier actions by ‘We The People’?
It seems as though you’ve already had Sarah Palins cookies, and you’ve washed them down with that ‘special’ kool-aide!
You are, under the Constitution, allowed to voice your opinion. There are just better venues and blogs for you to be a part of that share your views.

I agree.
AKM, wishing you a speedy recovery.
I wonder when big, greasy Rush Limbaugh will start talking up Sarah? I read they did a straw poll and she came in tied for third in the superfreak conservative CPAC. Poor pretty cookie baker…
conservatives4palin have the nick tucker video up..
of course there are rants on how “personable” she is.. how she stook her ground with nick not allowing him to change the subject.. yaddah yaddah
but! to “difuse” the focus (probably not wanting people to look too closely and see the part of her physically turning her back on him mid way through his very brave determined trying to be the voice of the people)
they have another video up (for comparison)
of mitt romney .. and his stab at trying to be “up close and personal”
So now it is turning into .. who speaks better one on one with people
not the real issue

lawdy me….
For what it’s worth, I sent the video to Rachel, Chris M, David S, and Meet the Press. I couldn’t find KO contact info. They probably already know of it, but it can’t hurt to try.
And @rightway…yes, that’s who I’ll be wanting for my leader…an ignorant (moronic), self-involved, hypocritical, religious nut & ne’erdowell. yep, you found me out! Drink some more Kool-Aid…I hear it’s delicious and mind-blowing.
oh and rightway must have eaten some of those cookies too…you know, to go with the Kool-Aid
Don’t forget that part of Sarah’s solution to the crisis in the rural villages included them getting new leaders. I’m assuming she wants ones who agree with her ideas. I bet she has some high school friends to recommend. What an arrogant remark on her part. T McMahan is absolutely uneducated about all this. He needs to do research beyond SarahPac and TeamSarah. Sheesh. Have a cookie, Tom.
i think that rachel or ko would love to dispute gino’s claims that todd grew up in the village and made his way back and forth to the fields.
what a man.
that is one little exaggeration that should be easy to prove.
That interview was very humbling. Seeing a graceful elder speak to SP as she tried her best to stone wall his wisdom was enlightenment.
What a resource tramp we have for a governor. That letter was the hand penned letter from higher spirits then SP will every encounter in her churches. That letter brought to light a situation that was clearly predicted about the hard times in western Alaska.
I believe in my heart that you are very wrong Mr. Thomas McMahan. I do want to thank for stating your beliefs, and hopefully you will seek out the truth by reading more in past post about this issue, or many other web sights that dig deeper into the, “Reality behind the Reality of SP’s Political affairs”.
May there be many more enlightened soles that seek spiritual wisdom out side of there church or comfort zone. For the spirit is all around us, and happens to be in great reserve with are dwindling Alaskan Native population.
You libutards are going to be praying for someone like Sarah to pull this country out of the muck that Obama is putting us in. Who’s cookies will you be eating then? by rightway
_________________________________________________
Rightway, Sarah couldn’t spell the word “country” if you spotted her most of the letters. So how do you expect her to pull us out of anything? OK, she’s good at wearing Neiman Marcus clothes, shooting moose (hard to miss at 20 feet), and trying to make your neighborhood witch free, but what else?
And also, Tom McMahan, were you aware that Franklin Graham pays himself a salary exceeding half a million dollars? Go to:
http://www.forbes.com/lists/2008/14/charities08_Samaritans-Purse_CH0145.html
Then look at the footnote for number 4. It says that figure may not be the salary of the top person, so it is possible that he is receiving even more. Personally, I think it is obscene for anyone heading a charitable organization to pay themselves that much money, don’t you?
karen in ct.
why did you write TROLL ALERT after pasting my previous comment?

Wow.
What a brave and stalwart guy (Nicholas Tucker) from site linked to by karin in ct
Troll alert.
_________________________
Yeah, I haven’t posted before but I am NO TROLL. I was incredibly moved by the simplicity and directness of Nicholas Tucker and wanted to bring attention to it so as many as possible would view it. Perhaps you thought I was being facetious because I used WOW. (?) It was brief so I could post quickly, before your link got “buried”; even so, by the time I hit SUBMIT I could see that several others had also noted that piece, so it surely has gotten the attention it deserves from this board. Now, I wish it would get MSM attention along with a documentary on the traditional village way of life.
KAREN IN ORegon and I am NOT a troll (but no glamour queen either!)
LOL, GINO would just to put her “prayer warriors” in leadership of rural Alaska.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5kLreAmgGE
Head on over to Regina’s blog, Palingates. She did a very good piece on Gino’s Prisongates. Maybe she could bake cookies for the inmates in our prisons. I am sure they would appreciate it?
I see some tainted Koolaid has been passed out along with the cookies, none of which Mudpuppies drink or eat!! Show up at villages with cookies — What do they get — a couple of dozen for each village. That really fills stomachs and holds people over for days.
Oh, I see the first two in line already for some more of the tainted potions.
Karen in Or, I understood what you were saying. I was wondering who the troll was supposed to be. I think it was just a misunderstanding. Funny remark about glamour queen!
Maybe the troll remark wasn’t referring to you.
Reading that transcript is as painful as watching it! GINO makes me sick! She has no respect for Nick and the First peoples, for her it was a photo op!
And to lie and start babbling about dud….
She need to be impeached/fired! Use her salary to help the Villages. She is a useless piece of moose nugget!
My heart feels so bad for Nick and the First peoples….All she can talk about is mining and oil, sure she wants them to leave, then the gov. can come in and take over. She doesn’t fool anyone.
If GOD would only come and strike her down now!!!!
I don’t think the troll remark was directed at you, Karen in Or.
Big Slick, this might interest you…It is from ADN Alaska Ear link courtesy of conservatives4palin
ENOUGH ABOUT SARAH … Let’s talk about Bristol, who appears to have inherited her mother’s sense of humor.
It seems that people wanting to support the efforts of the World Wildlife Fund against Alaska’s hunting and predator control policies have been making donations and directing the fund to send the fuzzy stuffed animals one gets in return to Gov. Palin.
An earwig in a position to actually know something once in a while says Bristol called her mom last week to report three more stuffed wolves had shown up at the house.
Mom wondered (perhaps not sincerely?) what they might send the WWF fans as a thank-you for the stuffed wolves.
Bristol suggested packages of moose meat might be just the thing.
********************
Also they have a picture of a moose (Not as cute as Brian!) And this caption:“Because of Sarah’s predator control measures, I died an old man…of lead poisoning.”
Ok, I guess I’m just clueless to “their, Humor” but WTF does THAT MEAN???
I thought they like killing wolves, like GINO???
Boy that kool-aid must be “mind-numbing”
GINO has so much nerve telling these people that they have to leave their homes to get jobs when she won’t even leave her home to move into the governor’s mansion! Unbelievable! How can her supporters not see what a friggin hypocrite she is?! Of course they’re also the ones blaming the man who has only been in office for 5 weeks for the economic crisis that the country is in rather than the moron who was in office for 8 years! UGH. Sorry I guess I just needed to vent…
Hey Peeps – Remember, Do Not Feed the Trolls (not you, Karen!). We’re readying the launcher.
Rightway, where was your outrage for the last eight years when Bush/Cheney drove this country straight into bankruptcy and the toilet with that immoral war in Iraq? Hmmmm? Please do explain that one for us.
dear a.k.m. sorry to hear about our chief mudpup being little under the weather. please get well soon. take some time for you and spouse and brian. the rest of the pups will just chat on open threads.as for me, the doctor has given me some awesome pills to take.boy! i haven’t flown this high without a plane since August 1976. my friend just phoned to say we’re to have a snow storm tonight, so if i can find my shoes, i got go get some food and stuff…..love b
Forgot to say – I hope you feel better AKM! And as always, thank you so much for this wonderfully well-written, thought provoking and informative blog!

lol…excellent point! and re: shooting moose at 20′ or wolves from helicopters…she never accomplishes ANYTHING requiring any thought or challenge…she might break a nail or her brain may explode…aahhhh, that thought makes me smile. hee hee
@crystalwolf — I think “lead poisoning” means a bullet.
@Deb
How can her supporters not see what a friggin hypocrite she is?!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh…haha, those GINO groupies are like “too funny”
Like I said that kool-aid must be “mind-numbing” you know when you eat ice cream and get brain freeze? They are permanently like that
Excuse me for bringing it back to ME (so SP)…but the troll alert WAS directed at me because in “karin in ct”‘s last post her ONLY text was a copy and paste of my original (and very FIRST) post, followed by the TROLL ALERT.
I think I get it. Besides leading off with WOW in my post (which may have read sarcastically), I may have seemed to be mockingly doing a take on her name, “karin in ct”. OK, I was in a hurry for a handle and am not very original, so HER handle did inspire mine.
Sorry to get all sorta sensitive, I’m over it now.
AKM, hoping you’re back on your feet and your keyboard very soon…
Last nite @ our girls night out get together, we were hashing over who it will be on the front lines questioning and demanding change for our State. Since Gino always tries to play the victim card, especially if she is going to run against a man, then it will be Alaskan women taking the lead. Women won’t let other women play the, “poor me, they are picking on me” card.
Get ready sista Gino, it should strike a cord of fear in you….You will be facing the music from Alaskan Women….and you do know how ruthless we can and will be.
crystalwolf aka caligrl (09:33:39) :
died of lead poisoning…
——–
Thats a reference to lead bullets…
Gallows humor.
You guys need to check out “Prisongate” @ reginas blog!
This guys was suing GINO and suddenly all his stuff disappears? His case is dropped?
http://palingates.blogspot.com/2009/03/sarah-palins-prisongate.html
Does anyone have the post stating the cost for “the first dud” to travel, and doesn’t she owe much of that to the state also!
Ruthless= asking tough questions, demanding answers and accountability. Calling a spade a spade, and not listening to the lies and canned speeches. You will need to verbally defend your past actions and lack of actions. You will not be able to sit down at the table and read from your notes….you will have to stand up and answer the same questions as the rest of the canidates will have to answer. You will have to follow the rules and regulations, and no special treatment because you are female. That’s what Imean by Ruthless…we will be asking tough questions. Period.
SP just wants a work force for her resource development plans (ALL over the state). She wants little worker bees who are so APPRECIATIVE of white people jobs. Take them away from their villages, where they are needed, and then make them grateful for cookies and oil jobs. This is NOT about natives working in YOUR world, Sarah – this is about how native peoples can be a part of resource development from within their villages and places of power, and that’s only part of what many of the villages desire. They want tools to become the masters of their own fates once more (restored to the way we were), and you know what – if we help along the lines the villages need – THEY will be the business people handing fisheries, resource leases, native crafts, etc. Change is coming, there is no doubt – but it’s not what YOU want Sarah.
Her lie: http://www.thedutchharborfisherman.com/news/show/4983
“She touted the state’s mining, fisheries and oil jobs, saying they allow people to earn good money without permanently leaving the village. As an example she used her husband. Todd Palin grew up in Dillingham and became a North Slope oil worker, where people often work two weeks out of the month.”
Well that’s all a little confusing and convenient, don’t ya think? Sarah Palin seems to think that Todd’s heritage is just another talking point in getting elected, as is everything in her life. Her example to Nicholas Tucker is a joke!
http://www.adn.com/sarah-palin/background/story/561419.html
Excerpts:
Todd’s parents, Jim Palin and Lena’s daughter Blanche, met in Dillingham. After their divorce, Todd spent winters with his father in Glennallen but returned to Dillingham in summers, where he fished with Lena and Al Andree, learned about outboards and running lines, and helped smoke and can the salmon.
As a candidate for governor two years ago, and more recently on the national stage, Sarah Palin has avidly pointed to her husband’s Eskimo heritage. Lena Andree is one-half Yup’ik, and Todd Palin is one-eighth.
During the 2006 governor’s race, Palin introduced Andree on stage at the Alaska Federation of Natives convention and described her own family’s mixed roots as an example of how whites and Natives can surmount controversies that divide them.
When it came time to debate, however, Palin was often at odds with her Native listeners. On sensitive subsistence hunting and fishing issues, her positions resembled those of urban sportsmen’s groups who backed her.
In the election, she finished far behind Democrat Tony Knowles in rural, Native-dominated districts. Urban and small-town votes carried her to victory. As governor, she has come under criticism for not reaching out to Natives, though her efforts to assist rural Alaska economically have been praised.
Culturally, the Palins live a lifestyle of small-town Alaska. Todd does not take part in Native organizations or tribal politics. He grew up in Glennallen and Wasilla. His Native roots can be seen in his dividends from the Bristol Bay Native Corporation and boyhood visits with his grandma, where he learned to tend fish nets along the Nushagak River.
“It’s distasteful to say my husband is Native, my children are Native, so trust me. Just tell me what you believe,” said a Palin critic, former state Sen. Georgianna Lincoln, following the AFN debate that year.
Sarah Palin lost the 2006 governor’s election in Dillingham, 480-242. In Manokotak, Palin lost 63-33.
I vote. I voted in past elections. I vote with my feet by not frequenting places with dubious practices. I vote with my pocketbook by not buying books (even those of my used-to-be favorite AK author) written by folks who have drunk the koolaid. I voted by refusing to renew my subscription to the ADN.
Ugly is as ugly does, and mudflats surely exhibits the truthfulness of the description.

anybody else wonder why Palin didn’t take Piper with? odd don’t you think, after all, the cookies and cute kids comments, christians helping those in need, seems she should have.
Or oh wait, let Piper see conditions not so hot, hear people pleading for help, see sad faces, people cold, harsh winter environments, gosh what would Piper think.
Piper goes everywhere it seems, except the rural villages.
just sayin…….
you’re right…mommy wouldn’t want piper to see how unpopular and disconnected and ineffective she was as the boss of all these ungrateful people
yeppers, Sarah is actually more stupid than I thought. She has opened a big can of worms with this Joe Schmitdt from Corrections appointment.
dumb as bricks?
how did she not expect the rape lawsuit to come out after doing this? gosh, now we get even more fireworks.
Could be GINO wanted to make the appearance of working and being busy as didn’t she use that excuse for not going to the conferences? Wouldn’t surprise me if that is why she is laying low these past few days. So she can pass more BS lip service that her head was down working – NOT.
troll problem – yes there were two but they have been reported and you won´t find their non-comments on here anymore. They can`t complain. They were neither civilized nor informative.
There is something we can do here – we’ve been discussing the need for the Regional Native Corporations to get truly involved in developing trade / commerce / administration and involvement in resource development in native lands. We are going to be tracking down rural AK advocates to help. I’d like to start a letter writing campaign to the regional corporations when we are a little more clear on what we want to say – stay tuned – I’ll be back here asking for support when we’ve developed that idea a bit more. The corporations haven’t necessarily fulfilled their missions set out by ANCSA, and some are not very popular with their shareholders for various reasons. We need to put pressure on the corporations to face the future and become realistically and actively involved in developing resources WITHIN Alaska, not just investing in business outside of the state. It’s not just about dividends, it’s about creating viable livelihoods and supporting dignity & pride for rural and non-rural Alaskan native peoples everywhere.
http://www.alaskadispatch.com/news/rural-alaska/891-nick-tucker-confronts-sarah-palin-on-rural-alaska
“Tucker told Palin that asking people to leave their villages for outside jobs is not the solution to struggling rural Alaska. People don’t want to live in Anchorage, he said. He also talked about a long-held resentment by many rural Alaskans — that the state is rich with oil, the reserves sit on Native people’s ancestral lands, and that Natives have not benefited much from the oil wealth. While this is no doubt true, the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act was, in part, supposed to address this issue. The expectation was that Native corporations, born out of the act, would provide opportunities — work and education included — to their respected shareholders, who are mostly rural Alaskans. This concept has not fully been realized.”
Say No – Piper was catching up on school work and working on a project for science. Gotta get ready for spring break too.also.
@ lettersfromeurope
“troll problem – yes there were two but they have been reported”
I think “reported” can be replaced with SPLAT! Flung onto the flats where they belong with their pinched little minds and hearts!
I’ve decided, and no offense to religion in general by any means, that I’m beginning to think the RAPTURE just can’t get here soon enough. I’m happy to be left behind with my feel firmly planted on our lovely planet, in the good company of all my friends and some of the finest people in the galaxy. We can handle the anti-christ – who only has power over the flippin’ idiots who have already left.
You know, based on my experience with trying to help my learning disabled kid get some training for a career and navigate the State of AK, dept. of Labor programs and such, I would feel safe in saying that the policy of trying to get the kids OUT of the villages and small towns has been in place all along. The state vocational school is pushing everyone that they can into extended training programs for the gas line project (not likely to be up an running anytime soon). They do everything they can to discourage kids with learning issues, and I could write a book about how the native kids experiences in these programs are horrendous. There a several training programs for fishing processing, some even run by the state, but if we try to get funding from Dept. of Voc Rehab, they don’t want the kids to do those programs because the industry is “seasonal”. It’s enough to to make me run screaming off into the sunset. Do these state zombies really believe that these village kids are going to embrace the discrimination, the confusion, the heartbreak of leaving their families and support systems only to become 2nd class workers in the eyes of the oil companies anyway?
Maybe I just haven’t had enough kool-aid..
I read Ann & Victoria’s letter….good for them! Shame on your governor for dropping the ball and leaving it up to other people. I guess that’s what she means by smaller government… “I, your governor, will collect a large salary and still use your tax money for my personal benefit and career goals and screw the rest of you, ’cause you’re on your own.” (smile,wink)
I just couldn’t get very far in listening to that palin video…just couldn’t listen to her contemptible, back-as*wards speak and total insincerity. I hope they revolt and retaliate big time to where she won’t know what made her head spin.
What is a total joke with that interview With Ned Tucker, was Parnell screening every one in the village in line to shake hand with SP. “Are you the blogger?” Do you blog in your PJ’s?
WHAT A SAP!! I KIND OF GAVE HIM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUGHT FOR A WHILE. NO MORE!!
Yes there is major events coming with the Palin Administration. THe truth always come out. What will it be?
I think SP appointed, ” School buddy BoB ” to be 3 in line to be governor , because of two reasons.
1 To take some heat of her.
2 Some one is going to step down from office in the near future. Maybe Parnell is having a hard time breathing with his nose stuck so far up SP’s A** Hole.
Team Alaska (12:22:49) :
I think GLINO (Gov Lite In Name Only) thinks Ned is Mudflats!! He was seriously fishing. And too stupid to know otherwise.
_______________________________________________________________________
Funny how we Alaskans NEVER see Parnell (GLINO)! He’s more like that boyfriend in high school that never existed, but was there to impress your friends
And dare not reach for one of those “Compassion Cookies” because they’re virtual, since GINO lacks compassion GINO wouldn’t know the recipe to make a compassion cookie!
Think about in the time it took GINO to make those cookies GINO could have made a few phone calls to important political folks to change legislation that would actually help Natives. GINO’s all smoke and mirrors. And GINO loves those mirrors.

I don’t disagree with #2
@ Team Alaska
It’s Nicholas Tucker, and may he become well known across Alaska for his advocacy! I’m writing every native organization and corporation that I can get my hands on with a link to Ann and Victoria’s letter. I just realized that I should be including Mr. Tucker’s video link, too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lori-you should point out to them that Mr. Redoubt started “making volcano noises” the day before she dined with “dog killer” matlek and sashayed herself and the mouthpiece to Alfalfa dinner and ate steak, while villages starved!!!
God what a self-serving POS GINO is….
The parallels between the travel logs and and the Trigg conspiracy timeline were powerful. (Thanks Immoral Minority & Truthseeker) http://www.flickr.com/people/33163903@N05/
I find it fascinating as one Palin-gate connects to another. I have a gut feeling this tangled web will continue to unravel, especially if documentation, such as emails and meeting schedules come to light.
Not always illegal perhaps, but certainly unethical, dishonest and frankly unnecessary.
The parallels between the original “gate” and this one continue to amaze me. How one lie leads to another and another and another…and only then becomes a BIG deal.
Both have their distrust and hatred of the media also.
Nixon had Woodward & Bernstein and the lone MSM Washington Post dogging him.
Palin has the Anonymous Bloggers dogging her, but seems to have Alaska’s MSM in her pocket.
It took the Supreme Court to get the tapes from Nixon, it may take the Court to get the emails from Palin. (I wonder how many have inadvertently been erased by now?)
The heat needs to be kept on all her “gates” until some courts, legislators, prosecutors or main stream media jump out of her pocket and join in the investigation.
OT OT OT
“All loyal Palinites are now shouting about how she had to stay in AK because of Mt. Redoubt volcano.”
These same bots said the same thing when she missed the last CPAC – they don’t have much imagination and remember, they LOVE talking points and sound bites. One is uttered, and the next thing you know all the loyal zombies are repeating and typing the same thing, eyes glazed over, again and again and again…
Sarah Palin has MASTERED the art of the offensive attack Bush (you’re with me or against me) and Reagan style (snark with a smile), also the Rovian way of plucking something completely irrelevant to the situation out of the air, and then drawing a completely illogical (or fearful) conclusion about it. She whispered “volcano” and they ran with it. Not real bright, that group.
And Bush and Rove are where now, exactly? And how much are they believed or respected now, too also?

re: sacrifice to the mountain. Brilliant idea. That would certainly kill two birds with one stone, eh?
Thank you Problem Child. Sorry, I didn,t make myself clear, I know how to find Halcro, I just wasn’t sure what this ‘lien’ meant with regards to Dairygate
UK lady-Dairygate is very complex and Although Andrew has done a great job with it…its complex and confusing….
But Alas! our Regina (from France BTW) has done a very awesome job demystifying this gate…..check it out
http://palingates.blogspot.com/2009/02/sarah-palins-dairygate.html
Can some one please tell me what OT stands for? OVER TIME? Other Thread?
Rush has been married three times? Really?
Cookies huh? The thing that gets me, is when she has her loyal fanbase supporting her, she feeds them moosemeat. i.e. when greta flew up to interview her she had a huge pot of moosemeat on.
not long ago, the indigenous people suffered mass relocations, if she honestly knew anything about her husbands culture, she would know that most native people are tied to the land. But, during these times of ‘relocation’ which was devastating-the political leaders would sometimes show an act of kindness. I believe she is following in this type of leadership.
It isnt one of respect for the human in a native, but very patronizing to that native. Given the challenge of dealing with dental health, cookies does more harm then good. It might have been something she thought of because a reporter asked her what are you doing personally?. But, it might have been better to bring fruit, or something with nutritional value. I will give her credit for this. But, ever hear the expression Day late a dollar short?
Did Palin ever get the copies of the emails to the people? So much info huh?
AKM, sorry you’re under the weather…hope you’re feeling better real soon!
Well, I finally viewed the video of Mr. Tucker talking with that GINO. I really doubt that GINO would have given him the time of day had the camera not been watching. She slipped away as quickly as possible. And Parnell asking about being a blogger…yep, their looking for all us bloggers, no doubt. That is one thing I noticed about that GINO…she always wants to know “who said that.”
OT —
When do children become representatives of an elected office?
How can the State of Alaska condone taking a child out of school for the purpose of promoting the state’s business?
It is quite understandable that a parent would want to take a child to a fun and age appropriate event. But what should be disturbing is a parent who believes the rest of the parents should pay the expenses; to an event their own children did not have the privilege.
That GINO should pay all monies back to the state for all family members expenses, except that one GINO. That GINO was unfortunately elected governor, not that GINO’s family.
Guess that GINO sees herself as a queen.
Had a thought…what if the Dude is really the one who is running the state and his wife is the one that plays the image and that works the deals, the mouthpiece? After all, Dude, AIP, took a leave of absence from his job when his wife was elected governor. Yep, he is that wizard behind that curtain!
Team Alaska (13:33:41) :
OT = Off Topic
And did I mention that the Irish beat the English yesterday in Rugby?
The copy of lien on the dairy on Andrew Halcros’ blog , as it is from Employment Security Division — would that be anything to do with non-payment of employee taxes?
Team Alaska…I use it for off topic OT
UK Lady (13:31:44) :
Thank you Problem Child. Sorry, I didn,t make myself clear, I know how to find Halcro, I just wasn’t sure what this ‘lien’ meant with regards to Dairygate
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m not sure? I thought the “government” pretty much owned it anyway? so a lien with the state? I’m not sure how to interpret that?
Its so complicated, another Gate! Ya, GINO keep racking them up
UK Lady, I think this is probably a statutory lien for unpaid taxes. I’m guessing income taxes or perhaps workplace health and safety remittances that the co. would normally withhold and remit to the state. The fact that they are not doing so suggests they are in financial straits,,,again.
I hope enough resident Alaskans, Alaskan legislators, Alaskan media representatives check in on these blogs even occasionally to see there’s some swilla in Wasilla that needs some serious attention.
“Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.”
Queen Sarah is taking Alaskans for a ride.
Thanks Crystalwolf. I read about the Mat su dairy last year when GINO was first tapped for VP. It certainly has got even more confusing.
Canadian Neighbour, that’s what it looked like to me . Hhmmmm, interesting.
Dairygate is funny (for me anyway) because it is Palin’s attempt to SOCIALIZE milk production in Alaska.
Palin is a SOCIALIST!!!!!!!

shhhhh…
but don’t tell Rush….cause I think he likes her
vbff
Sorry for duplicate post.
Irishgirl – congrats on the Rugby. Being half Irish and half Englsh I was sort of conflicted on this one.
eastcoast – The Mayor of Detroit thought he successfully deleted 4yrs. worth of e-mails and text messages. The prosecutor compelled the carrier to produce the records.If you hit “send” , there is a retrievable record. Sarah can peck on “delete” until her fingernails break. Just ask the Detroit Mayor. It will have to be a letter , he can’t take calls in jail.
Irishgirl – YEA!!
A lien is placed upon the property to be paid if and when the property is sold or a loan is refinanced. A lien clouds the title to the property and puts it in position to be paid. Either the company failed to collect payroll taxes or collected the taxes but failed to remit to the state. This one is going down.
no offense intended…was just wondering if a third of the population of Alaska are friends and school mates of palin and a third are so isolated, ie: natives, and others geographically separated that they can’t keep up politically because of their own struggles and a third are non-voting moose and wolves….is that WHY palin gets away with murder? how lucky is she (and how easy it was for her) to be the overseer of the largest state with little or no supervision?
Anyone know hwat the dely is getting those emails?
So they can finally investigate Troopergate.
Those Texas lawyers are long gone now that the Repubs have Rush as their intellectual and moral standard bearer.
Anyone know what the delay is getting those emails?

@UK Lady,
I understand.
re: LaineyNo Gravatar (14:04:58) :
“no offense intended…was just wondering”
Interesting point.
I’m not crazy about the way you phrased it but…
I’m a teacher.
I’ve had the opportunity to travel to both Russia and China during the past two summers.
Both countries number one problem is corruption at all levels.
Both countries are experiencing unprecedented growth in personal income.
Sound familiar?
How do you spell Ted?
How do you spell Murkowski?
How do you spell Palin?
How do you spell PDF?
Hmmmm
maybe the people don’t care as long as there’s a chicken in every (read:their) pot.
at least the people who
Gov. Sarah Palin is toast if the e-mails are released in their entirety. I love it that she knows that we know it too.also.
As I understand it, the emails are still being transcribed?
Or maybe her secretary reached back and inadvertently bumped into the DELETE button?
Just a thought. – Why is Palin so enthusiastic about pushing the new parental consent legislation for teen abortions, which primarily is a smackdown on Planned Parenthood? (not to mention getting back at the “liberals”, and getting kudos from conservatives) Her motivation is she is very ticked-off at all the teddy bears she is receiving from folks who are donating to Planned Parenthood in her name. (Read someplace she received three teddy bears in one day, and wasn’t pleased.)
Or the Texas lawyers need to determine which ones are relevant to the ongoing investigation…
Have I heard this all before???!!!
OT: I’m gettin a blizzard tonight. dang.
Austin, ya killin’ me. He can’t take phone calls! If GINO ever goes to the big house, she’ll just die without her blackberry.
AKM,
Get well soon. I got sick in early, early February. It went from flu, to the next weekend not being able to breathe and a trip to the ER and being misdiagnosed with bronchitis, given steroids and going into steroid psychosis, to my the next week, running to my regular doctor when not getting better AND gaining an ear infection *takes breath* to find out that I have pneumonia. While coughing Saturday I either gained a hernia (no lumps and bumps) or tore/strained a groin muscle
I’ve been on 8 or 9 different prescriptions in the last three weeks and spent God knows how much on Doctors and lab.
Whatever is going around it hitting everyone really hard so rest up and stay in bed, drink, drink, drink, forget the Flats for a few days if you have to. Your dedicated team of MudPuppies will understand and your health is more important.
Get Well!

Ahhh and it’s coming my way up in Maine Ripley!!!
second foot and a half in a week.
as a teacher…I’ll probably have the day to shovel out…but will give up a day in June to do it.
But with the amount of snow we have on the ground now, we might just be able to thaw things out by then.
Expecting the same blizzard (well, lots of snow) here in New Brunswick (Canada). Is it coming up the coast? No flakes here yet…
I spoke too soon. They just started drifting down. Will it be the second long weekend in a row for me? The problem here is that there is really very little space left to remove the snow TO.
re: New Brunswick (Canada). Is it coming up the coast? No flakes here yet…
get ready…
it started being over a foot…but now a mix and icing and wind & snow….
hunker down
eastcoast – She quoted an obscene price , in the millions , to provide the e-mails in a timely manner. The reason for the”transcribing” is so they can redact everything. She thinks that when the boxes are plopped down at a press conf. and half the pages are blacked out – we’ll accept that as “clear and transparent”. The Grand Jury will of course have the full copies of everything. Wonder how many Sharpies they go thru ??
That’s what Nixon thought too
but at least she’d look good in orange.
She’d look VERY good in orange!
what happened to the .10 per copy I saw waived for state “business” requests when reading in the gov attic.
I hadn’t heard miss sarah had pets!……..I wonder what other life lessons Chuck showed Sarah and what she may have taken away from them, I also wonder how she feels about her father enriching her childhood, lol………
Actually Sarah probably has a deep seated fear and paranoia of animals, kill them before they get you…….growing up with all those silent animal reminders on the walls, lol…..grrr baracudda, pit bull, grizzly…….scary, get em.
I played around with it………..
a boa constrictor, that explains alot, lol, learned stealth slithering, sneaking up, quietly getting close, wrapping around prey, paitently waiting for them to move, make a mistake or gasp for air to squeeze the breath out of victims, eating them, then shedding skin to grow bigger.
the turtle, learned to pull her head in, hunker down, clam up, wait for danger to pass, tough outer shell, progresses along and wins the race, wonder if it was a snapping turtle, lol, heck they can take a finger or toe off, they hang on too!
the skunk, defend thyself, spray attackers, deflect to avoid the situation, no one see’s the skunk go on it’s merry way, just leaves the fool attacker smellin bad and no one wants to be around a stinker.
this is from the Alaska magazine interview feb. 08…………
“They had to go do these things because they had to go with me,” Chuck Heath says.
“Enjoying the outdoors and making the most of it is what you do in Alaska. Alaska is a participant-type sport place, not a spectator-type place.”
Around the room is more evidence of a lively childhood. Stuffed birds, mounted animal heads and bear hides cover the walls. On every shelf and tabletop is some sort of Alaska artifact—mammoth teeth, tusks from a steppe bison, fossils and rocks of various sizes.
“Near the back doorway are two giant, dried-out snakeskins hanging the length of the doorway. The Heaths had boa constrictors during Sarah’s childhood, a fact the girls in the family were never too thrilled with, Chuck points out.
“Remember that turtle, too, that we had?” Palin says. “It disappeared and we never found it again. I wonder what happened to it?”
Then there was the albino skunk, yet another of Heath’s specimens used for science lessons during his years as a teacher.
Perhaps when you grow up in a household knowing anything is possible—one day it’s a skunk, the next a 9-foot snake—you grow up knowing no limits. It’s a trait Palin has
carried with her to Alaska politics.”
SillyWhabbit – good to hear from you. Thought you had the book flu……get well!!
TLS,
I’ve copied your transcription of the Nick Tucker Youtube. I’m going through it right now, making minor changes. For instance, the man asking Tucker if he’s a blogger is Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell.
When I’m done, I’ll post it at Progressive Alaska, at the bottom of the thread already up, with the YouTubes attached.
Can’t thank you enough. I was thinking of doing what you did, but I’m pressed for time today.
Hmmm, I wonder what happened to that turtle…think it did something to annoy sista?
I seem to recall hearing at some point that the Palin family briefly had a dog, maybe a sled puppy that was given as a gift, but then “re-gifted”.

sarah’s aerobic buddies did an interview awhile back .. and someone said she was afriad of my CAT… and someone was like Sarah just doesn’t like cats

Cats know.. not against all anti cat people but if you are a cat person you know this is a red flag.. against anyone!

Hello,
I’m glad people find my posts enlightening, it helps me get over the Palin fatigue I get from time to time. I feel really sick sometimes.
Which brings me to the video where she patronises Nick Tucker, treats him like a five year old and LIES about Todd’s native roots AGAIN! She lies, lies, lies!
More info about Todd:

Thanks for all your support!
Regina
Irishgirl (13:36:58)
Hey, great news for you! Congrats!
AKM, get better. Hot Toddys are best when made with Canadian Whiskey. I don’t know why that is, but it is my preference.
Nick Tucker is clearly an honorable man, but was treated dishonorably. So sad, and so wrong! Pisses me off tremendously!
I thought Nick Tucker was polite and courteous, even laying his heart on his sleeve, but his politeness is wasted on an ethnocentric racist like Palin. She needs to be pushed, challenged, and exposed by angry people demanding answers and accountability.
Force her out of the “Lady Bountiful and Bringer of Cookies, So My Subjects Can Adore ME” role that she loves to play. Ask the tough questions and keep asking them until she gets angry….and she will. The anger and paranoia are just under the surface because she’s a narcissistic control freak whose frustration is mounting over the widening criticism….and keep the cameras rolling.
According to HuffPost, 5 people were burned to death for being witches…below.
“NAIROBI: Five elderly people suspected of practising witchcraft were burnt to death in western Kenya, police have said.
“They include four women and a man in their 80′s who were accused of having abducted a child,” Kisii deputy police Commander Manasseh Musyoka said yesterday.
The killings occurred at Bomatara Village in Mosocho Division.
A resident who declined to be named said the abducted child was found dumped on the roadside.
“He was unconscious and when he regained it, he was able to tell the names of his abductors. That is when a decision was reached in the village to hunt them down. And they were all burnt in their houses,” he said.
In March last year, 12 people, mainly elderly men and women were burnt to death in Nyamira district in similar circumstances.”

Any one know where that GINO’s preacher friend Murphee(sp) is?
You’re right Lee323
“Ask the tough questions and keep asking them until she gets angry….and she will. The anger and paranoia are just under the surface because she’s a narcissistic control freak whose frustration is mounting over the widening criticism….and keep the cameras rolling.”
It’s what has to happen. She expects everything to blow over and everyone smile and be quiet when they get their pdf…not rocking the boat.
The Russians and Chinese are quite good at this. Throw them a bone, and let them know the next bone won’t come unless they stay! and be quiet.
Maybe she was right. She has much more foreign policy experience than we thought.
…their pets are all stuffed, they behave better that way…don’t ya’ know
GINO looks good in Orange? yeah Matched that out of season tan she has…eeewww
…how much money could be saved were GINO to live in the mansion during the Leg. Session..
anon blogger – I believe there are some existing questions on some “activities” that involve Sarah’s witch doctor “pal”.
change is AK…dosen’t seem to matter if a new Gov is elected, the deal would be that the LEG. change the rules governing state operation, so that they are air tight, because there may always be another GINO [m/f] who will live by the loop-holes rather than the rule of law…
I agree austintx, btw, take a look at this. Are my eyes deceiving me or my pic on comp ain’t that clear. Repeat of the witch exorcising, is that Talis Colberg?

@ Philip Munger
Glad you can make some use of it. Make all the corrections you want. I noticed a few typos after I posted it, and I think if you listen carefully, you can catch a few more errors in transcription and perhaps a few more spoken words. Maybe you can identify the two older women and the young girl. I was wondering if one of the women was perhaps NT’s wife?? maybe the young girl is a grandchild? Too bad we never see Nick from the front.

eastcoast – I wanna see her snap and have a major meltdown !!
here-in-PA – hm-m-m ……..not sure.we need an eagle-eye that knows him to make a positive id. gee , we sound like a couple of cops !! LOL.
@east coast……..”Maybe she was right. She has much more foreign policy experience than we thought.”
Haha….Gino’s the supersocialist governor who HYPOCRITICALLY screeches “socialism” at every entity or action that doesn’t specifically benefit herself. (BTW…Her Foreign Policy is the same as her Domestic Policy….i.e. “it’s all about ME and what I deserve.” Makes it really easy for her to understand.)
HYPOCRITICAL that she demands to be paid to work (per diem) in her own home and town while telling the Native villagers to leave their ancestral homes and towns to work in jobs that she’s dictated as appropriate.
HYPOCRITICAL that she demands that the state pay for her children’s travel expenses because (as she states so sanctimoniously) “the discharge of my duties should not prevent spending time with them” but expects the young Natives to leave THEIR families (without travel reimbursement, I might add) to discharge the job “duties” that she’s dictated as appropriate for them.
Unbelievably aloof, ignorant, self-entitled, and condescending.
Regina….your blog, palingates, is great and so necessary!! Thanks for your work!
SillyWhabbit Seattle, WA-Sorry to hear about your health problems…

Oh god!
My sweet Dog, got spray about a month ago, and she is a “stinker” of course I immediately washed her at 1am with baking soda, dawn soap and hydrogen peroxide, but as soon as she goes out she is a stinker again!
Its got into the wash, and I can’t get rid of the smell.
I’ve tried dumping baking soda in the laundry, 20 mule borax, dawn detergent, wht vinegar???
Poor Marshie doesn’t know why she can’t ride with us in the car to the park?
Ugh skunk! Now I will think of GINO all the time until its goes away….
If dignity were a picture it would be Mr. Tucker. How moving and powerful were his words? Speak softly my friend. In this case no big stick is required and HE GETS IT!!!!!!.
If indifference were a picture it would be Gov. Cookie Monster pretending to f***ing care. Her crap about Todd coming from the village to work every othe week on the slope is about as true as Bobby Jingle Bells story about the sheriff and the boats during Katrina. Todd met sarah in H.S. Jingle Bells heard his fib thrid hand.
TOTALLY OT: My moniker makes me curious as to what ever did happen to the stuff in the belly of the plane? Was it donated to a rural village perhaps?
caligrl – I’ve heard that diluting tomato paste in a bucket of warm water and washing with that and then rinse helps. not sure…….just heard…….google the problem.
new post
Austintx: Thanks…that how I found out about the dawn soap+hydrogen peroxide+baking soda, it does work! But there is a area in the yard I guess where the deed happened and she keeps going there and getting stinky! The rain is not washing it away!
I also had to throw mothballs under the house as they were trying to nest there! But that smell is better than skunk anyday! I’ve gone through cans of “oust” and “febree” lol!
No, just to clarify…NO Book flu here. I’ll let others suffer and continue to get my news about her on the web where it is free and she (or her “team”) gain no monetary value due to me.
Even in the dislike of her, she garners too much attention and she is just narcissistic enough that like a spoiled child, ANY attention is good, even if it is negative.
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, every time someone imitates her, mimics her (makes fun of her) or gives her any public play, they are feeding the Beast.
Besides, making fun of her and speaking like her is dangerous to your brain cells. Imagine if every time you talked like her, you lost 5% of your logical brain…scary huh?
Thanks for the well wishes, it has been a tough one but I would still take this over her book fever any day.
here-in-PA In the Doyon Corporation in Alaska, you have full membership if you are 1/4 native. You are called a descendant if you have less, but you do get a BIA card to be used at the native health centers. My grandchildren in Washington have cards and they are only 1/32 but you have to go to the reservation health clinic. Alaska is a lot different than the lower 48, because they don’t have reservations.
@crystal wolf
My dog has been sprayed by skunks soooo many times. Unless you have the anti-skunk stuff on hand and at the ready, your dog will stink for months, especially when it rains.
And what’s the deal with the Heath family not having “normal” pets? A 7 foot long snake? Are you kidding me? A turtle (I love their goofy faces though)?
These are not “pets.” “Pets” are something you can pet.
Get better soon AKM~
Everyone else keep sending cash and flat rate boxes to rural AK….. our boxes come without religious strings!
Nick, Ann and Victoria YOU are the true HEROES in this crisis! Along with the many kind strangers who care about their fellow citizens and aren’t in it for the publicity, but because it’s the right thing to do!!!
re: palin having pets…that are alive (not killed and stuffed) and need care. She can’t even make sure her children are nurtured…farming them out to everyone else. If she did have pets, they would be neglected by her as well.
There’s not one area in which this woman excels…amazing!
@ former Alaska
I am a doyon shareholder, my grandchildren are 1/16th and cannot get BIA cards, I get my own health insurance because there are no Indian Health Services anywhere near where I live. Also, too, (lol), when I lived in the state of NY, I tried to use an Indian health services at the onondaga rez. and they told me that I had to be from that tribe in order to use it. When I told my sister, she got PO’d. I called the BIA in DC and theres lots of red tape involved. So, I just work for my own health insurance.
re: pets – Do the Palins charge the state to feed and care for the pets while they are traveling and doing the business of the state ?? I mean if you are not at home to take care of your pets BECAUSE you are “On the road again” (Willie singing) doing the business of the state , doesn’t it stand to reason that the state MUST cover that. I believe Sarah should call it “petdiem”

Austintx-I don’t think GINO and FAMILY have pets..! People who have pets have compassion and caring, GINO want dominion over all things living, and the earth, oil, mining etc.
I real wish she would just sacrifice herself and her “Servant’s heart” to Mt. Redoubt and maybe that would stop it from erupting!!!
Add Jingleberry too, since he doesn’t believe in volcano monitoring….
Can’t wait to hear Ann S. events of the day…did Samaritan’s purse show up? What is in the food boxes? I hope more than mac-n-cheese and saltine crackers!
here-in-PA–My husband signed them up in Fairbanks about 12 yrs. ago, maybe the rules have changed since then, its called a certificate of blood card and it has 1/32 on it, they do not go to the Indian clinic but they could if they needed to. A lot of the reservations in the lower 48 do pick and chose who can use the services, something to do with funding.
I can’t even imagine Sister Sarah taking care of a dog or cat. Too much work and loving there also!
LOL, call her GINO, I read in a previous post that she dislikes that name very much.
Hubby just came up with this: she really can’t afford more than cookies, given that she now has to pay back the state for the money she stole for per-diem, illegal trips for her kids and the First Dude.
But, sigh, she’ll probably claim the cookies as a write-off on the federal taxes she already owes.
@Say No TO Palin In Politics (14:53:36) :
Really, the Heath family had a skunk when GINO was a kid? Huh, I thought they were illegal to own in the State of Alaska, because they’re not a native species (and therefore would be invasive). Because there are no native reptiles here in AK I think it’s legal to own them, as long as you don’t ever release them, but I was pretty sure it was illegal to own skunks. (If not, I’m gonna get me one!)
LOL on the cookie ad! Her jiffy-pop hair isn’t tall enough, though.
Below is a comment from ADN article………I’m thinkin we need to do some delving into Joe Schmidt’s political ties…….I simply cannot understand “why” Palin would select this certain person to take over the gov or lite gov position if need be…….WHY? it’s just flat out weird.
I got thinking more about this last night after watching a news media coverage about the drug lord battles escalating in Mexico……and ties in US, including AK………ties including money, guns and drugs.
It’s really bad! The corruption in Mexican government and law enforcement is so huge its growing worse rapidly, becoming accepted as a way of life. Thousands of people are being executed by these thugs, they showed something like 11 police officers laying on the ground, murdered, decapitated as a “message” don’t mess with the drug lords. pitiful! people suspected as informants, the same, whole families murdered and put on public display, hung in the open to show what will happen. Mexican mafia gone rampant, over drug smuggling, gun selling and buying, money funneling, arg!
We should be very worried about this people. There are things going on around us, in our country that need to be exposed, the sooner the better.
There has to be US people involved, working with these drug lords, in airports, shipping, border control points, private planes, hangers, politicians, law enforcement, and yes, prisons, where is the heroin coming from in AK, it’s now becoming the lead drug to abuse in AK, meth has become harder to make, oxycontin is expensive…….all are addictive creating a vicious cycle to fund and get.
Alaskans seem to have a lot of unwatched freedom with so much private plane travel…….it’s easy to think much can be smuggled in or out………do they ever sweep these planes or hangers. Todd has his plane parked outside their house, how many others do the same?
It’s just unsettling……I know i’m not articulating this very well. But I don’t trust all the corruption in AK, so few people and so much crime…….not slamming all the good people of AK or your beautiful state, but I am worried about what goes on up there. You guys have got to watch every move by politicians, every appointment made, don’t just read articles and think nothing more, listen to the watchdogs! Thank goodness someone is interested in paying attention and connecting the dots.
this article seems nothing big on the surface, but read this comment and how much deeper and wider it goes…….read his/her last sentence…….think Bill Allen, felons, corrections, Joe Schmidt, Palin puppet, drugs, guns, money, Mexico mafia?
thank goodness for comment areas!

TACOMA, Wash. — A former administrator at a privately run immigration lockup in Tacoma won’t serve any jail time after she admitted hiring guards without background checks to speed up the process.

Wong worked for GEO Group which has had a highly questionable past. Known previously as Wackenhut, with felons Bill Weimar and Bill Allen, they tried to build a for-profit prison on 40 acres of city property in South Anchorage, with the help of Eldon Mulder. ADN 3/28/96
GEO has been outed for overcharging the state of Florida for millions of dollars and for offering the then-current Director of Prisons in Colorado about a million dollars if he could get a prison built for them. They lost a wages and hours suit in California for $10 million where they were also made illegal campaign contributions. They hired drunken driver who killed another motorist in Texas. He left GEO to become warden of a CCA prison in Eloy, Arizona, where Alaska sends it inmates. GEO was indicted for murder as a result of inmate deaths in Texas where their prison
So the prosecutors’ question should have been, did Wong hire illegal guards entirely of her own volition, or at GEO’s direct or implied orders?
Palin doesn’t have pets now, at least I don’t think so……my post was pointing out what she grew up with, her dad was a science (I think) teacher, he had animals around the house used as teaching aids.
I was pokin fun at how these things may have formed our sick Sarah’s psyche and thought processes in order to explain what we seem to have today.
Dogs and skunks……..what works for me is cheap tomato juice, works wonders, the acid must neutralize the spray somehow, just pour it on, rub it in, let it sit a while, then hose off, redo if necessary……but, I’ve always applied it right away, I don’t know about weeks or days later……crystalwolf……I’d try drenching the ground area with juice.
Hey, maybe GINO knows, lol or call Chuck, lol.
Christy, you wrote this statement that I re-post below MONTHS ago and keep posting it, over and over again…it´s garbage, at least write new garbage…
and AGAIN, as for attacking what is beautiful and good, here is the list that I have compiled:
The beautiful and good (aka sacrificial victims)-beluga whales, polar bears, wolves, the citizens of Alaska.
and now some of christy´s repeticious horsesh·t….

Those who disrespect Gov. Palin are only disrespecting themselves. If there were a compilation (and there may be somewhere) of all the unprecedented vitriolic slander directed at this absolutely charming intelligent and RESPECTFUL woman, it would deserve a place of honor in a Hall Of Shame.
I have come to the conclusion that certain types of people need scapegoats and sacrificial victims to satisfy some kind of atavistic sadism that compels them to attack what is beautiful and good. Any NORMAL human being, would be able to see that Sarah Palin is a down to earth good person and agree or disagree with her policies and positions, afford the high respect that is her DUE, that she DESERVES, for her honest work on behalf of the American People and her lifelong efforts to live in a loving, intelligent and moral life..
