Rural Alaska – Let Them Eat…..Cookies?
28 02 2009Yes, 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!

eastcoast – I wanna see her snap and have a major meltdown !!
March 1st, 2009 at 4:14 PM
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!

Say No to Palin Politics: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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.

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!
March 1st, 2009 at 5:05 PM
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.
March 1st, 2009 at 5:16 PM
@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.
March 1st, 2009 at 5:17 PM
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!!!
March 1st, 2009 at 5:26 PM
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!
March 1st, 2009 at 5:41 PM
@ 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!
March 1st, 2009 at 6:17 PM
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.
March 1st, 2009 at 6:21 PM
I can’t even imagine Sister Sarah taking care of a dog or cat. Too much work and loving there also!
March 1st, 2009 at 6:27 PM
LOL, call her GINO, I read in a previous post that she dislikes that name very much.
March 1st, 2009 at 7:13 PM
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!)
March 2nd, 2009 at 4:49 AM
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!

Immigration administrator guilty of hiring unqualified personnel

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.
fsmith wrote on 03/02/2009 00:48:29 AM:
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….
==============================ChristyNo Gravatar (23:05:03) :
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..
