Here’s the latest rumor on the Talis Colberg “resignation.” If you believe the little birds that are twittering in Juneau and elsewhere, we’ve got one interesting behind closed doors deal between Sarah Palin, Senate President Gary Stevens, and House Minority Leader Mike Chenault.  It goes something like this. Talis Colberg did not resign.  He WAS [...]

Breaking news is that Sarah Palin has pulled out of her scheduled appearance at the conservative CPAC conference.  She had preiously confirmed her appearance to speak on Thursday, February 26 at 4:30pm.  Now, if you check the schedule online, there’s a big fat hole right between 3:45 Targets of the Fairness Doctrine – Regency Ballroom Joe [...]

The big black cloud that has been following Talis Colberg has finally chased him out of the Attorney General’s office. Which excuse from the “Big Three Excuses” did he choose? A) Need to spend more time with family. B) I’m becoming a “distraction” C) I’m going to pursue other opportunities Let’s listen…. “I determined that [...]

Poor babies.  Where’s my Kleenex? (dabs eyes)   Nobody wants to play with Fred Dyson, Con Bunde, Tom Waggoner or Gene Therriault.  There they are, sitting on the bench at the side of the playground, kicking the dirt with the toes of their little shoes, and sitting next to their unused balls and bats.  Caps on [...]

Headline News on CNN today featured a story on the struggles of rural Alaskans. The story which began with families unable to keep their children and elders warm and fed, and feeling completely alone, is now on the most mainstream of mainstream media, the top story on CNN.com.  We did it. I talked to Dennis Zaki [...]

Here are two more clips of Dennis Zaki’s video footage that ran on CNN, CNN International, and Headline News today!  Commentary discussed the food/fuel crisis in rural Alaska.  This project has really gotten its wings.  Sources “inside” are saying that this project is putting the pressure where it needs to go. We are holding feet [...]

The unusual names of Sarah and Todd Palin’s children are not new to Alaskans.  The stories have been circulating for quite some time about the “secret meanings” in the names.  Willow for the town north of Wasilla, Piper for the airplane and her middle name “Indie” for the snow machine and the word “Independence”, Track [...]

Embedded video from CNN Video You’ve all been witnessing the evolution that many of us in Alaska have seen since the nomination of our Governor for John McCains Vice Presidential running mate. We’ve watched how one small local story, moves to one blog, then another and another, and then to larger and larger newspapers, and [...]

He’s baa-ack!  One of my most favorite dastardly characters in the Troopergate drama has returned to the show for a “two minute monologue,” as it were.  I refer to the Palin’s lawyer, Thomas Van Flein.  He figured heavily in Troopergate before Sarah Palin’s VP nomination.  It’s been a while since we’ve heard from him, so allow [...]

I confess to having a certain fondness for politicians who make good use of the internet.  A mass communication tool like none before, the creative possibilities of the online world are endless.  Understanding and embracing these possibilities  is a good thing.  And I don’t just say that because I live here in cyberspace.  I say it [...]

Let’s see.  (counting on fingers)  We had an official press release from the governor complaining about unfair treatment by the media…(next finger)…and then we had an official press release from the governor complaining about unfair treatment from Ashley Judd and the Defenders of Wildlife…(next finger)…and now we have an official press release from the governor [...]

This morning, the Senate passed SR  5 by a vote of 16-1 that found the witnesses that ignored their legislative subpoenas in the Troopergate ethics investigation of Governor Palin, are guilty of contempt.   There will be no penalty for failure to appear, due to “circumstances” but the contempt is there in black and white. Behold: BE IT [...]

According to Gawker, looks like Bill Clinton may have gotten assigned to make the obligatory consolation call to Sarah Palin. Clinton called Palin after the election, when she was taking hits in the Alaska press over whether she really gave birth to her daughter, Adams reported toward the end of her column. The former Republican [...]

Quote of the Day - After listening to the House Finance Committee, and Rep. Anna Fairclough wonder how she could justify giving the university more money if they were just going to churn out a bunch of anti-development liberals, and then listening to the chancellor tell her that they were young and hopefully would “mature” [...]

No, the governor has never released one of her infamous press releases about the crisis in Emmonak and other rural villages, and she has not actually gone to visit any of the places where residents have to choose between food and heat.  No, she has not utilized her worldwide celebrity in the cause of …oh, I don’t [...]
