Watching CNN just makes the viewers stupid. They are not news rather a propaganda machine for corporatists. So CNN totally lies about Gov Palin. Watching CNN just makes the viewers stupid.

Let me know if I can support in any way. For those that aren't living with it the tribal politics can be MUCH to sort through, so know Ann, myself and ALL our support people will not give up helping Alaskanative's village, it just might taking some 'encouragement':-)) Bardetta- The geothermal project is moving ahead. It is years away and will probably require an act of Congress, literally, to be able to drill the wells where the best thermal energy is, but it is progressing. There are also many other projects moving forward to help the 'bush' with its energy issues. One of the most recent is work being done to identify swamps that natually give off methane gas - like old dump sites in the lower 48. There have been a number of sites located in the far north. Now more are being looked for to assist villages throughout the western part of AK. The technology to tap this is low key and lower cost and could well be a life saver for villages. For those that are interested in the subject see -anonymousbloggers-dot-com. Look for the side bar on 'energy'. Mr Zaki- Thank you for keeping the subject fresh and informative. It is soooo appreciated by those of us in the bush dealing day to day with the issues. Again - thanks all for your support and caring, Victoria victoria@anonymousbloggers.com Pilot Point Food Drive checked in to see what was up:-))

There is really a need for some decent investigative journalists in this country to get at the truth of things. I guess its up to the bloggers to take things in their own hands. Crappy journalism.

Will see what happens, that is likely the type of reporting that is prevelant in the state of Alaska. This is all so sad, I dont know, I feel so helpless right now. Oh my huh?

GINO has said if the leg doesn’t get their work done, despite the gas pipeline stuff and the stimulus package needing extra time for consideration, that she doesn’t think there is any reason to extend with a special session. There’s an energy crisis, an economic crisis (esp for many rural Alaskans), an employment crisis, a housing crisis and any other number of other crises but no, swanning back to her mooseburgers (sorry Brian, cover your eyes) little Miss Selfish can’t see any reason to allow the leg to actually get stuff done? There’s selfish, there’s very selfish, and there’s PSYCHOPATHIC. GINO there is a special place in hell reserved for criminally negligent numpties like YOU! http://www.ktuu.com/Global/story.asp?S=9975834 I do have these little bursts don’t I?

Wishful thinking but you get my point. OT, sorry if I offended anyone with previous comments. I have a nasty habit of speaking my mind in a vulgar manner. I regret that I pissed y'all off, I hope you will accept my apology, and I'll try not to be a jerk in future posts. What time is it? It's PARTY TIME! Time to raise a glass in cheers to GINO appointing a former board member of Planned Parenthood to the Alaska Supreme Court. Back on topic, about Dennis Zaki, what do you expect from CNN? I shall conclude this post with a pithy, spot on quote from AKM: no plane load of food and a little preachin’ does not a crisis solve.
