For Every Explosion There is An Equal and Opposite Implosion. (for Sarah Palin)
Well, it may not be Newton’s Third Law of Motion, but it sure seems to be true today. Mt. Redoubt, the famous Alaska volcano which sits right across Cook Inlet from Anchorage and the surrounding area has been exploding for the last 24 hours.
And now, in a bizarre demonstration that the universe is in some kind of balance, a series of implosions, also in Alaska.
#1. Looks like Team Sarah has crossed over from simply being saucer eyed, mindless cheerleaders, into being paranoid crazy sitting-in-a-dark-room-peeking-through-the-curtains, saucer-eyed mindless cheerleaders. Not only have they banned the Alaska Dispatch from the group, they are now requiring anyone registered at Team Sarah to provide their phone number and personal information to avoid “trolls and spies”. Phone number? Yes. Phone number. With over 67,000 registered members, the fact that TeamSarah administrators think they are going to actually keep all those bad “haters” from seeing what’s going on by asking for phone numbers is a bit….naive. They may as well just post a big notice on the front page, daring those pajama clad bloggers to figure a way in. A kid hacked Palin’s personal email account without too much trouble. Team Sarah is cake. A carrot cake for progressive spies. But it’s still fun to watch their paranoia get the best of them, as they run around trying to plug all those leaks. At least it keeps them busy.
#2. Geoffrey Dunn strikes again. He just keeps methodically firing cannonballs right into the hull of the HMS Sarah, and we get to sit back on the deck with our feet up, and watch, and listen to the sound of splintering, groaning wood. His latest on the Huffington Post is a look into the bizarre netherworld of the Palins and their “Pallin’ Around with Scientologists.” A must-read.
#3. And it’s not just those evil “libruls” who have a beef with Palin. The conservative Alaska Standard has a great article on Palin’s speech at the Lincoln Day Dinner. Seems that not everyone drank the Kool-Aid at the Republican soiree. I know in my case, I was going right for the alcohol.
[Palin] spent the bulk of her speech talking about tearing down and critics, but nothing about the economic future of the state. She announced what the personal financial cost of her “open and transparent” has cost her to avoid being open and transparent. As a matter of fact, only one person spoke of issues greater than self with any conviction and clarity, and that person is the clear face of the Alaska Republican Party: Lisa Murkowski.
Ouch. That was a nasty one. She might need stitches. Quick get the salt!
#4. More than 600,000 people tuned in today to watch American Morning on CNN today. It featured an interview with none other than Joe McGinniss, author of the now infamous article in Portfolio entitled “Pipe Dreams.”
AM: I would like to start off this morning by rewinding to the election campaign. Let’s play that tape of Sarah Palin talking about the gas pipeline. (tape rolls)
Sarah Palin on tape: “I fought to bring about the largest private sector infrastructure project in North American history and when that deal was struck, we began a nearly $40 billion natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence!”
AM: Joe, the way that she framed that during that speech there at the republican national convention it sounds like it’s either shovel ready or under way already.
McGinniss: Well, that’s the impression that she created, and it turns out to be very, very far from the truth. In fact, the companies, Exxon, BP and Conoco that have the natural gas to go into the pipeline are simply not going to do business with Sarah Palin because she won’t tell them the rate at which she’s going to tax that gas. As long as she takes a stand against sharing tax information with the big companies, they’re simply not going to put their gas in the line and she has nothing to put into that line but hot air.
She calls this a “hit piece”. It is in a sense that it hit the bulls eye, really, and less than 24 hours after the piece came out, she called a press conference in Juneau to announce she was reversing her policy against sharing tax information with the oil companies. So, up in Alaska they’re calling this the “Portfolio pipeline”.
AM: Her spokesperson said it should be no surprise this pipeline isn’t yet under construction. “It seems to expect people to be surprised by the fact that the pipeline is not under construction,” talking about about your article. “That’s not much of an ‘ah-ha.’ Anybody knows this will be years in the making. The governor herself said, ‘I won’t call that reporter,” talking about you, “an idiot, because I don’t know that reporter. But the headline was idiotic, we’re not standing in the way.”
McGinniss: I wouldn’t call the governor an idiot because i don’t know her either, but her position is certainly idiotic and not in the best interest of the people of Alaska.
CNN: You made several attempts to interview her, what was the response?
McGinniss: They said she would not agree to an interview, unless she could be guaranteed that the piece would be favorable. She would only be interviewed by people who she knew would be favorable about her to help her prospects for 2012. Obviously, I couldn’t commit to that. Portfolio Magazine wouldn’t commit to that.
#5. And finally, implosion #5……. I can’t tell you. Sorry to do it to you Mudflatters, but trust me when I tell you, it’s a good one. Well….unless you’re Sarah Palin. A press release is imminent in the next day or so, so I’ll let you use your imagination. It’s like a blog cliffhanger! Tune in tomorrow when Sarah Palin is stunned by
I got a # for ‘em…….1 800 UR WHACK.
please us , don’t tease us !! How ever will we sleep tonite ?!?!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you… you have always been worth waiting for and I am looking forward to tomorrow. I could almost have some sympathy for Ms. Palin if it weren’t for the fact that she has harmed so many people. Great work by all you dedicated bloggers and supporters in Alaska. Keep up the stumpendous work..
Glad to hear that McGinniss didn’t hold back on CNN. Wow, what’s the new press release…you are doing a Gryphen on us now.
it’s like christmas.
is la palin getting coal?
Argh. More Oxycontin? More L. Ron Hubbard? More bannings of fruit fly research?
Can you give a ‘flatter a hint?
Come on, AKM, you can’t do that to me. I’ll hold my breath until, well, until I let it out. Can’t wait to read the newest juice on La Palina.
#5. And finally, implosion #5……. I can’t tell you. Sorry to do it to you Mudflatters, but trust me when I tell you, it’s a good one. Well….unless you’re Sarah Palin. A press release is imminent in the next day or so, so I’ll let you use your imagination. It’s like a blog cliffhanger! Tune in tomorrow when Sarah Palin is stunned by
=======================================
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I HATE cliff hangers! You are soooo mean.
At least give us a hint. Come on, you know you want to.
I hate cliff hangers. : (
lol, I can guess #5, but would not be fair (but fingers crossed it involves something unethical and unconstitutional). Other than Team Idiots, I really believe that AK citizens are FINALLY getting it. One can only have SO MANY lawsuits, ethics charges (and ethics conviction), word-salad nonsense speeches and bullsh*t before something is noticed by the loyal followers. I just wish they would READ some of the websites they slam – just READ and then decide for themselves! But NO – they are not interested, like little children plugging up their ears and going “NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH NAAAAAAAAAAH NAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” Frustrating, but their numbers are low.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm,
Palin is pregnant, one of her daughters is pregnant, her son is kicked out of the military because he is gay, Todd is leaving her because he is gay, Sarah is leaving Todd for Greta Van Sustren because she is gay and more handsome also………….. just one itty bitty hint, we know you are dying to give us just one.
Oh please don’t leave us hanging! Inquiring minds need to know!
Love to hear of all these Palin Implosions. Thanks for keeping us in the know.
@asiangrrl, I’m going to hold my breath too. This is so not fair….I was just about to go to bed.
Sarah Palin is being recalled as Gov……..please tell us it’s true!
@Martha (14:37:12) :
ROFL
Oh Please AKM, is it the IRS? I will pray that they are finally catching up to her.
I’m going to guess that someone is going to announce she is running for governor. Just a guess
There is a link off the Huff Post scientology article that mentions that L Ron Hubbard was in Ketchikan in 1940, borrowed money and never returned it.
What was the name of the ex-governor whose family was in banking in southeat for a long, long time? Rhymes with bank.
That’s ok … (although I am barely hanging on by my fingertips with bated breath), Mt. Redoubt’s “fiery rhetoric” has given my heart a lift and tickled my democratic funnybone, so to Austintx (by the way, my daughter lives in Austin, TX – sweetie, is that you helping your Mommy out on her favorite blogs?) who needs to sleep anyway? I have started dreaming about … no, I don’t want to say it … We will tune in tomorrow in our pj’s with our coffee. P.S. to AsiangrrrlMN: if you have to hold your breath too long, you might become like Mt. Redoubt and have to blow! Maybe it will be worth it.
She announced what the personal financial cost of her “open and transparent” has cost her to avoid being open and transparent.
(?)
Lori in Los Angeles (14:36:18) mmboucher Florida (14:40:51) :
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm……………….
Hoping and praying for recall, but IRS more likely. Either way, stocking up on popcorn!
Gryphen on Immoral Minority is teasing people, too, but he says that it is NOT related to babygate.
Gryphen is talking about it too….oh the suspense is killing me!!
“She would only be interviewed by people who she knew would be favorable about her to help her prospects for 2012.”
I thought she hadn’t decided on any “prospects” for 2012? WHACK JOB.
I’m afraid Charlie and Katie scarred her for life – poor whiny Sarah. I’ll bet she has nightmares about Katie in particular – chasing her down a long dark and very NARROW hall (her mind) with books and magazines, then throwing them at her screaming “Read Now Sarah! Read them NOW!”
Katie and Charlie – would you be my pals? You can come visit Juneau anytime, where you can see the empty Gov’s mansion from my house.
Gryphen says, “Something big and potentially very damaging is coming up, Not babygate. However it will cause Caribu Barbie even more sleepless nights!” I can’t wait.
House-gate???
Bobby Jindal IS going to come up to Alaska and give Palin an “Exorcism” for hanging out with the Scientologists!
If that doesn’t work, he will personally sacrifice her to the volcano, proving once and for all their is no need to spend money on volcano watching.
All that volcanos want is a taste of crazy republican women, and there is a another sacrifice ready in Michelle Bachman.
“It’s like a blog cliffhanger! Tune in tomorrow when Sarah Palin is stunned by”
ak,
TO DO THIS TO US IS UNCONSCIONABLE!!
Ok…. give a time when we can check…. we have got to work sometime tomorrow..LOL
Pray tell – is this going to be a matinee or evening show ?? Need to know what adult beverage to have on hand. Mimosa or vino for matinee or hand made from scratch ‘rita for evening. Please advise.
Team Sarah.org is so… yesterday! They won’t pose any real danger to anyone until most of them complete their eddication. Dialing phone numbers is a perfect past time for them – it’s the only mental exercise they get (keeping numbers in order is HARD dammit!).
I know – she lost those stupid plastic boots and can’t find them ANYWHERE! She’ll have to set up a non-profit fund to replace them.
wired differently (14:49:54) :
House-gate???
This is the only one that goes well with “sleepless nights”!
Well…I don’t like blog cliffhangers, either.
Maybe it’s about the stuff I found at palingates…
Juneau Christian Center, which received $25,000 from the state for their program The Hub:
Our Purpose: To win souls and make disciples!
Our Passion: To Love God and Love People!
Our Path: Win, Connect, Disciple, and Send.
1. WIN: New believers are added to the church through relational evangelism, church services and outreaches.
2. CONNECT: Both new believers and new church members are “plugged in” to Juneau Christian Center. Life Group Leaders help these individuals become a part of the Life Groups that meet weekly in homes. (Please see Life Groups for more details.)
3. DISCIPLE: Individuals enter the School of Destiny which consists of five seven-week levels of study. The School of Destiny will equip believers.
4. SEND: As each believer progresses through the School of Destiny, he/she will branch out into a ministry.
The Hub, a youth program at JCC, was opened by Sarah Palin and can be found under the tab “Building for Destiny”…
–
Or maybe one of those outstanding complaints stuck to her like glue!! Need to quit guessing…I’ll stop!
@ MarthaUYS
“I’m afraid Charlie and Katie scarred her for life – poor whiny Sarah. I’ll bet she has nightmares about Katie in particular – chasing her down a long dark and very NARROW hall (her mind) with books and magazines, then throwing them at her screaming “Read Now Sarah! Read them NOW!”
—————————————————————
ROFLMA and HO “Read them NOW” Hahaha….great one!
Could it have something to do with Sherry Johnstons new attorney? Could it be tied in with Troopergate? I am wondering “also” maybe it has something to do with her new home and the similar features to the new Rec Center….free of charge of course. Hey if the feds. went after Ted, then she is NOT hands off.
Oh and by the way….if you want to scare yourself, go over to immoral minority and take a gander at the woman wearing Gino’s full face on her shirt. Nasty, I tell ya.
She has to release the emails????? Please please please let it be the emails.
Not fair!! Patience is a virtue that I have never embraced.
FBI anointing her the newest member of the CBC? Tick, tick, tick…waiting impatiently for “the rest of the story.”
http://palingates.blogspot.com/
Is this it?
OOOHHH – the suspense is killing us all! Reading all the above blogs, it’s amazing how many things COULD be brewing! And to think I have appointments/meetings most of tomorrow and in the morning on Wednesday! Can I play sick and stick to Mudflats? No, but I will sure check every time I can!
methinks housegate. Liquor store closes at 9 cst. – does not open ’til noon. Can you at least tell us curtain time…………
I signed up and gave them my phone number but don’t recall any ‘confirmation’ or suspicious oops wrong number calls? I posted a few days ago about the whole scientology thingy and got 33 responses, which as you may or may not know is a lot for them. I was accused of being a “troll” (really??), that “religion is nobodies business” (tell that to the Muslims!!) that the “post was the worst thing they have ever seen on that site” (I was quite proud of that one) and asked to “prove it” and my favorite was that “with prayer Sarah will convert Greta and show her the way to Jesus”.
Can’t wait for tomorrow!!!
Women Who Run With The Wolves (15:06:41)
Oh, I went to check it out…I just ate!!! Can’t believe anyone would wear something like that!!! Hurts the eyes!
AMK! that’s no fair…I was really into it and then BAM! you pull the rug , dang!
…so many GINO Lies to pick from…let me try to guess:
she wants a reduction on the anount of per diems she ‘owes’ the state…
…she has a web site now where we all can DONATE to her legal fun! [not fund]
…Levi & BP are married…
OK, gotta stop now – my head is starting to hurt….
Very possibly related to Sherry Johnston. Was anyone in the Palmer Courthouse today?
http://www.courtrecords.alaska.gov/pa/pa.urd/pamw2000.event_lst?62040255
We want #5! We want #5! We want #5!
About #2, Geoffrey Dunn’s story on the Coale/VanSusteren/Palin partnership, and how Scientologists “do business” — I wasn’t too far off calling Sarah Palin’s posse “the Wasilla Mafia”, was I?
http://sanityrant.blogspot.com/2009/03/example-of-why-i-find-conservative.html
What we are seeing occur and hearing said from these rightwingers is simply the death throes of the GOP…. the thrashing, and grasping, and gasping to find something to grab unto like a dying drowning person. As the President said today, you can’t govern in anger… a lesson they all need to learn.
Christians of the Conservative brand know that in the Bible, when Jesus confronted the demons, these demons threw the persons they inhabited into a frenzy of words and irrational actions… these GOP rightwingers are facing their ugly inner selves…!
GINO to Mr. McGinnis – “Say it ain’t so Joe”. Heh Heh.
Don’t forget Dairygate.
But please oh please be the emails or Housegate.
Or maybe Bristol’s run off with the lifeguard.
AKM! Cliffhangers now!! I usually read all the comments before I try my hand at posting a funny comment and such. But I find myself stunned and sitting on the edge of my seat, eyes wide open, ready too leaner what the 5th Implosion is…….. and you want me to wait until…… what time tommarow?????
What precisely is running for in 2012?
What precisely is she running for in 2012?
Religiongates…that would be the most important out of all the gates. Government money for a particular religious study group to train kids.
The most dangerous to religious freedom!
For some reason, I’m thinking it has something to do with SarahPAC. The treasurer of her PAC got canned from the RNC rather quickly – quit or be fired – but yet he continued with SarahPAC. Perhaps there are some improprieties there with funds, or maybe something was uncovered when plans were made to start Palin’s Legal Fund to pay those horribly unfair (note: sarcasm) legal bills. Has anyone heard ANYTHING about what sort of job the PAC is doing in collecting money to fund Palin’s “Vision”?
Muslims are a part of my family by marriage. You would be very surprised at where they are now ( certain ones), and how generous and truly kind they are. They are living where my father was a very popular Protestant minister; this makes me so happy, as he is a very successful and important person in NYC (not my father).
Although, upon reflection, there are so many other GREAT choices for #5 that it’s hard to settle on one specific area. Just thought I’d toss one out that hadn’t been commented on before. Hey – maybe Meg Stapleton quit? One can dream …..
Wheeeee!!! I’m so glad to be along for the ride!!! Can’t wait to check in over the next coupla days…. something to look forward to! That’s always a good thing!
The 1st Dud has done something dastadly and is being charged and held on remand??
Come on AKM, please, pretty please, give us a clue
Hey hey….that’s not nice!! Leave me hanging like that…….
But I surely did like that little summary piece y’all did write for us.
GINO GINO she ain’t gonna be no more SEEN-O… (I hope, soon, also)
Or better yet, seen even more soon, like in a courtroom.
Or is it to do with Babygate?
Call to Action! Gov Palin can no longer see Russia so the volcano must be stopped! NOW! Paging Dr. Muthee, Paging Dr. Muthee….Do you have a prayer for volcanic cessation? Paging Gov. Jindal, Paging Gov. Jindal…..Sarah says the date is off. I will find someone else to pall around with.
We could try bribery? I’ll fill 5 boxes for Pilot Point for a clue!
(going to do that anyway, but its worth a shot)
Tune in tomorrow when Sarah Palin is stunned by…
OK – So it can’t be from the governor’s office, so it must be from an organization or government agency…..hummmm…..
I approve of the suspense, gives us something to use our noodles for – what could it be?
Stunned by….the legislature initiating impeachment proceedings?
For once I hope that there are some lurkers here from the Palinbot sites
They will be crepping themselves ell night.
If you read Gryphen’s entry about it, it sounds like it’s coming out of the blog world…
It will be governor related since there is a hint to “press release is imminent”. Now the governor wouldn’t use precious State of AK time and resources for a press release on something personal, now would she?
Palin is pregnant, one of her daughters is pregnant, her son is kicked out of the military because he is gay, Todd is leaving her because he is gay, Sarah is leaving Todd for Greta Van Sustren because she is gay and more handsome also………….. just one itty bitty hint, we know you are dying to give us just one.
That is too funny…thank You
I love physics applied to the human condition.
Of course, Newtonian physics is somewhat primitive compared to Quantum physics and String Theory but then Sara-Barracuda is somewhat primitive.
Yep, Newton’s Third Law is appropriate for her….she functions like the bumper cars at the state fair. Not much control….just bumping, getting bumped, and spinning out of control to bump again…..
Cuties from Connecticut…we’re all in this together, and so glad that you’re aboad.
Oh NO! I can’t get mudflats from work so I’ll have to wait until I get home. Please…..when should I suddenly get very sick and need to go home immediately?
I’m thinking maybe GINO’s medical records were found? Bristol gave another interview and spilled everything?
Hold up, wait a minute, AKM, really we all live in different time zones, ergo some of us might be asleep and miss the mind numbing news.
@ tigerwine, if you have verizon I will send you a text, hehehe
wow, it could be anything that is imploding, there is way to much to choose from, you know that really is sad, that there is so much and we can’t decide which it will be…
This weekend media folks from all over Alaska will convene in Anchorage for the AK Press Club’s “J-Week” (journalism week) – and coverage of The Palin is a main topic on Saturday afternoon!!
It’s at the Senior Center and open to the public. Jason Moore/KTUU, Rhonda McBride and other media ‘names’ will be there to talk Palinisms. Should be a revealing afternoon!!
FYI: the AK Press Club has given special recognition to Anne Kilkenny, the Wasilla gal who revealed so much ‘truthiness’ about Palin during the VP spectacle.
According to Gryphen it is coming from Alaskan bloggers. Maybe one of the workers on the house has cracked and spilled the beans.
Maybe Levi has realised what a great position he is in finally. He could get rich and is even still young enough for Madonna.
Let me guess: another ethics complaint?
Please god let it be the photos on Levi’s computer…..
UK Lady – IMHO…..I’ve always said Levi holds the good cards.
BigSlick – Eeeww!, I think I’d rather see the GINO emails.
BigSlick – I like the way you think !!! ditto what I just said !!
Wait, don’t tell me, she’s been offered a job elsewhere – no….no….let’s see…….she’s going back to college, and is asking for donations, a college fund to be set up. I’ll be up all night trying to figure this out….DOH!
austintx – me too, I think he just had to get to the point where there was no going back with Bristol. No doubt he has other self confessed redneck friends who are urging him to make hay whilst he can i.e MAKE SOME MONEY, go out with famous models etc etc.
Expose by Sir Codpiece in the drawing room, grizzly rug, and vino with gino
patience is a virtue, and I have very little (if any)
when will we know?
…She is inoring what the AK Dems said and appointing her own person to the position…
…she’s gonna TAKE the bribe [stim.money] & run?
…NO matter what #5 is, GINO will BLAME someone else for it in the end….
My bet is Levi is a Daddy…..
AGAIN
So many choices…..
Aww gee… at least tell us if the press release is coming from GINO or at her from somewhere else!
*paces, scratches head, paces more… rubs chin and then hands together… paces more*
JanmarieNo Gravatar (15:11:42)
I think you’re right! And it goes so much further than just the $25,000 state money donation. GINO openly governs with religion. Remember Emmonak, the preachers, the state plane and food, the religious materials in every food box?
You in AK are so used to this sort of thing that you report them with nothing more than disgust or irritation…while the rest of us look on in stunned disbelief. If all of it comes out, GINO may find that her removal as governor is coming from someone other than the citizens of AK.
…it’s like picking a name outta the hat…she has so many gates, which will it be?
I might take tomorrow off just to hear/see Sarah Palin…stunned HOT DAMN!
An FBI investigation of unreported gifts pertaining to her house.
More ethical misconduct regarding funding religious organizations.
Charges of arson related to the burning of Valley Church.
Todd has filled for a divorce.
Gino lite quit.
An IRS audit.
A no confidence vote coming from our legislators.
Please give us a hint AKM……….
Maybe Todd dumped Sarah or Bristal married Levi!
@Ripley in CT (15:39:40) :
Wheeeee!!! I’m so glad to be along for the ride!!! Can’t wait to check in over the next coupla days…. something to look forward to! That’s always a good thing!
———
I’m with you! If this is as big as AKM and Gryphen say it is, I’ll excitedly wait the news like a five-year old looking forward to Christmas morning!
Ripley, I think you were onto something at the MudstockCT about Codpiece–maybe he did sing?
Other than that, my guesses are either housegate, Federal tax issues or something to do with the dud–he’s been way too quiet lately.
Oh, and as far as McGuiness goes and how he couldn’t interview GINO unless it had a positive spin…You should all read the latest article in People mag while doing your shopping. Talk about fluff! It’ll make you sick.
Tune in tomorrow when Sarah Palin is stunned by a falling anvil. (beep beep)
She read the Sunday New York Times cover to cover. That’s the only thing that would surprise me.
heheheheheh! I am able to wait for the punchline because I had the most wonderful day. Between exploding volcanoes, crazy dow, everybody piling on the GINO dogpile, meeting the older brother of my long lost grade school friend, and making shepherd pie, I’m just in pig heaven. Can’t wait for more GINO torture. Make it good to match the hype, that’s all I ask.
I’m a lurker… and read this blog every day. This one got me, and the replies up above are too funny. Just saying HI to everyone from Oklahoma….yeah, the only state to vote every county McCain and Palin. Made me ill!!! Hopefully the press release is that Ms Palin is getting out of politics for good. We can only ‘hope’.
OT but did any one read the article about Michelle Bachman (sp) and her call for her constitutes to become “armed and dangerous” about Obama’s global warming plan on Huff. Post . Now I can see people like Rush Lambaugh, Glen Beck, O’reilly and Hannity saying something like this but it blows my mind that a Senator would make such I statement. I know she’s a nut job but still don’t they swear an oath of some type like to uphold the constitution. I can see her saying she would help fight against his plan by drumming up votes against it but inciting violence?? This really annoys me to no end. Isn’t Minnesota the show me state they should have no problem showing her the door.
I hope it’s the e-mails! Free the Palin e-mails!
Hi katmai! Glad you joined us.
the problem child (an aunt, also)————too cute
Sabrina (16:23:21)
Oh YeAH!! I remember talking about that! Funny, we actually DID talk about Alaskan politics here in CT! How cool is that?
I am thinking it is going to be something irrefutable. Something that she’ll either have to explain and FINALLY take the blame for, or something that will make her run.
Run GINO, RUN!!!
Hi problem child….. Off to see a bluegrass band so will try to get into the conversation at another time. Peace to you all!
Katmai – welcome, glad you de-lurked.
Shadow’s Heart – Ms. Bachman needs to look up the word sedition in the dictionary.
Maybe Petumenos has flipped. Maybe the bloke GINO had the nasty with is selling his story – bejeebus, we could be here all night.
Welcome katmai! Hope to see you comment more often!
BTW, my dad went to OSU and my brother was born in Stillwater.
Oooh, the skeletons aren’t going to be happy if one of them gets plucked out of their closet! It’s bad enough that she took the Naughty Monkey shoes and witch’s hat away from them – now, to possibly kill one of them? That’s skeleton MURDER!
And AKM no fair teasing your loyal base. LOL Don’t know what it is but hope is has something to do with the wolf hunt but not counting on it. May its the e-mails with the proof she’s a shill for the AIP.
RM is doing her impression of GINO, “Thanks but no thanks” and now “Thanks”
OMG! AKM you have us all on pins and needles!
A press release….
Tune in tomorrow when Sarah Palin is stunned by
I feel like at Meryvn’s…Open,open,open!
While Ben and Jerry’s finally anouncing a Palin flavour would be some interesting news, I’m hoping for something a little more substantial.
I love it. I can’t wait!
I just hope it’s not more family drama, I’m sure there is plenty more of that to come (and who am I to pretend I’m not interested in that as well =) but my issues with her are far more political and the sooner that light can be shown on those the better.
Hi Crystalwolf,
I’m trying to watch RM too, but my mind (and my typing fingers) keep coming back to this site to see if there’s any hints yet! I’m thinking it’s not Levi/drug mom/Bristol but something directly linked to GINO.
Welcome katmai! I was like you and finally joined in the conversation. I love this blog and never miss a day. As you know from reading, the people here are wonderful and quite informed and humorous!
WELCOME katmai !
Just saw the t-shirt with Governor’s face. Whoof, if that’s what popular girls who become govornor have to accept, their faces plastered everywhere like that…….am glad I wasn’t popular in school. That t-shirt is nasty.

Hahahaaha!
IMHO, Michelle Bachman needs to look up the word “sedation.” And she should take lots of those pills and just go away, for good. How did those people in MN re-elect her? She’s the worst of the worst.
Personally, I’ll fall asleep with a big smile waiting for the good news:)
@ Tewise: I hope you are better on the Forum than I!! I am so tied up for the next few days, but if you go there, and find yukonbushgrma, and explain, she will forward your e-mail.

I don’t know so many “gates”! Need to find one that sticks. Maybe the FEDS are going to slap the silver matching bracelets on her, lol!
RM just said PO told cheny to shut his piehole! Wow! Good someone needed to do it!
Tomorrow? Oh, well, that’ll be nice. There’s, what? A four hour time-difference?
Meh.
I’ll just start my coffee-pot going, throw in a load of laundry… peruse my local paper while the percolator perks… maybe do my nails….
Grr-NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

this is like christmas eve.
is santa gonna leave the prezie i’ve been asking for under the tree?
will i hear him when he comes down the chimney?
do i have his favorite cookies so that he leaves me the bestest surprise of all?
does he have palin all wrapped up and ready to deliver to the less than adoring masses?
i’m so excited i probably won’t be able to sleep.
Aw, come on, AKM. I never thought you were cruel. However, it is fun to let my imagination run wild. My favorites are that Palin is either resigning or being impeached. I’d vote for impeachment – more whining on her part, and it would mean that all the stuff she has done is made public.
Can’t wait for the actual news release.

Sabrina (16:23:21)
Oh YeAH!! I remember talking about that! Funny, we actually DID talk about Alaskan politics here in CT! How cool is that?
I am thinking it is going to be something irrefutable. Something that she’ll either have to explain and FINALLY take the blame for, or something that will make her run.
Run GINO, RUN!!!
______________
She will never take the blame for anything, ever. It’s always someone else’s fault. I hope what ever this is brings her down FOR GOOD!

Did anyone mention Redoubt hut webcam is back online?
http://www.avo.alaska.edu/webcam/Redoubt_-_Hut.php
Regarding the Palin crowd, I’ve been watching their coordinated troll attack over at Alaska Dispatch today (who are they fooling?) and for the most part the only thing they can do is personally cut down and attack people who disagree with them. That’s all they can do. They can’t argue issues and after you get past their personal attacks there’s nothing intellectual or rational left. What a sorry bunch.
Do you all know that EIN just packed up and left the slope? Everone was fired in about two days. I think Palin is disruping oil and gas development more that anyone in the history of the state. I was suppose to have gguest that were working on the gas line to Anchorage last week. They never showed up.
Everyone needs to watch the CNN interview with Joe McGinniss. Sarah Palin is such a liar!
CNN exposes Palin on building pipeline claim
Put your ‘earmuffs’on, I think we’re headed for some more whining!!! Poor Sarah, couldn
‘t happen to a better person. Time to call the waaaambulance again.
Guess I better get beverages for a matinee and evening show……….
Welcome katmai !! Next time problem child and I have a shindig – your are on the list !!
rebekkah, that tee-shirt with the big face…..eeewww
@ Mona Lisa–cool that you are going to a RR taping! If breaking news comes you’ll get a TM on your cell. (I think I have it, but send me an email again just to make sure.)
MarthaNo Gravatar (14:37:12) : ROFL couldn’t agree with Irish Girl more.Good one though
AKM is going to toy with us some more tonight. My guess he is going to come up with some clever poll just to make sure we don’t sleep tonight……
I think AKM is sworn to secrecy and can’t tell us without a some kind of professional misconduct. I’m just going to chill and try and use reverse phycology to pry a clue.
Who cares or has time to keep up with all the gates, ethical misconduct, stupid word salad, religious politics, or using her State of Alaska staff and offices for out of state business. Who Cares? I’m kind of tired and going to bed early tonight. The Mudflats is kind of boring……..
Team Alaska…good plan.
I don’t care either. I’m going to sleep just fine tonight. GINO never does anything wrong anyway….oh, I give up I can’t do it…pleeeeze tell!
LOL at team alaska. me too, also too. I do not care at all! yawn. I probably will not even check this site tomorrow. I can get all the GINO info I need at Fox News! LOL @ us for imagining our reverse phycology will work on AKM.
@ Team Alaska – I agree it gets confusing with all the gates, but AKM being boring – NOT! Have you seen all the posts that say she has us all sitting on the edge of our seats?
It’s almost bedtime where I live, but I’ll be up first thing in the morning to check things out.
Gryphen posts “It won’t be long” suspense is driving me crazy
Well – since everyone is kinda waiting around – thought I would show you how the “Angels” stay in fightin’ shape.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGOO8ZhWFR4&feature=related
yawn
New post is up. Hopefully it will make amends for making you wait. I think you’ll like it!
It’s not a clue, but a peace offering! (hopeful smile)
mmboucher FloridaNo Gravatar (16:22:37) :
Maybe Todd dumped Sarah or Bristal married Levi!
+++++++++++++++++
Close.
I vote for:
1) Levi knocked up someone not named Bristol (saw this here a few weeks ago)
2) Bristol is preggers again but not by Levi
3) Todd knocked up someone not named Sarah
4) FBI informs Palin that she’s the target of a corruption probe
5) IRS audits Palin
Could it be that she has been kicked out of her church? Or Pastor Muthee has started a new witch hunt? Eating their own?
Sarah – You say you can see Russia……..meet “Boris”…….he is pissed.

AKM “#2. Geoffrey Dunn strikes again. He just keeps methodically firing cannonballs right into the hull of the HMS Sarah, and we get to sit back on the DECK,/b> with our feet up, and watch, and listen to the sound of splintering, groaning wood.”
Actually, AKM, you don’t want to be on the deck of the soon to be sinking HMS Sarah, unless you have a life preserver (for more reasons than one).
You’d be better off sitting on the DOCK with your feet up. Now aorries about seasickness or sinking….
http://www.englishrussia.com/images/daily_photos/33.jpg
Endless possibilities! My head is throbbing from all the possibilities!! This is almost as much fun as Christmas eve as a kid.
LOL ya are funny…I can’t lie…I wanna know like last week!
OK, a couple of more…..GINO & her lawyer are in hott water for lying…mixing state, family & church business…
THAT COVERS everything…how can I be WRONG [in case I'm 'still' wrong...don't quote me tomorrow]
All of the above are funny and even believable but I have always wondered about the oil companies and what perks she may have gotten from them if any??Along with the house gate deal
Well, well…looks like SP is digging at the current bottom of the hole but doesn’t know she’s finished yet…Keep diggin…
AND another thing..It is reported that SP is now backing down on her heralded rejection of some of the stimulus ’cause it ain’t right’…Humm..come to find out that because of all the uproar you, AKM, and the rest of you progressive hell raisers in Alaska, SP now wants to ‘negotiate’ how the funds are going to be used….tee hee…
Since Mark Sanford (R, SC) had such good luck with that I’m sure SP will break thru the red tape….HA !!!!! NOT…..
I’m wondering if she set up her defense fund this week because she knew a big todo was on it’s way.
LOL @ AKM trying to new post appease everyone!
I can’t wait! The last few posts have been awesome ans reminded me of a time when we were all so focused on “Yes, we can!”
I can wait, this has a tingle of delicious to it.
Good to hear from you SillyWhabbit !! You doin’ ok ??
Hey SillyWhabbit, missed you!
@tigerwine (16:49:49) :
@ Tewise: I hope you are better on the Forum than I!! I am so tied up for the next few days, but if you go there, and find yukonbushgrma, and explain, she will forward your e-mail.
=========
yukonbushgrma (donning little cape) to the rescue! Tewise, do that and I will forward forthwith!
This is driving me crazy , how long do we have to wait???
run sarah run…can’t wait to see what comimg up next in the sarah saga…maybe sharie johnson spilled the beans on tod/sarah/must be good whatever it is to keep everyone is suspense..dang this aint fair…
I vote that it involves the IRS; they are dogged, and never give up…no matter how deep the poop (heh heh).
Oops- I posted this on the Poop thread. Sorry.
I hope you’ve got a good one for us AKM because you’ve got everyone’s hopes up and imaginations going wild! There are so many possibilities I can’t even begin to imagine what it could be.
The Religiongate sounded promising though. How did she pull that one off? Constantly having to defend herself is going to exhaust her both financially and emotionally. And theoretically it should kill her politically.
My hope is that she just gives up on politics, takes the book deal, sends Todd back to work full time so she can be a much needed SAHM to her kids and grandkid, live off the book royalties and leave us all alone.
That’s my dream…
My vote is the IRS. The suspense is killing me!
I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve. You are a mean one, AKM.
From the last uncompleted sentence, it sounds like something is coming from the feds – corruption charges, illegal campaign contributions, IRS audit, kickbacks, misappropriated funds, emails. Hope she does not find a way to wiggle out of whatever it is. Not to mention all the family drama and the long lists of ‘gates.
Hurry, Christmas, hurry fast…
One last guess…fine for hunting wolves from helicopters before it was legal for the state of AK to do so.
Are the charges against Ms. Johnson trumped up? Hearings have been vacated.
We find out who Trig’s mother really is?
Well, that’s the problem, isn’t it? There are so many things to choose from that it’s hard to make a guess.
However, when I was listening to the news at 10pm – good coverage of Redoubt here in Seattle, btw – they mentioned that tomorrow (Mar. 24) is the 20th anniversary of Exon Valdez oil spill. Which sent me back here after I checked google. I don’t see anything in particular, but the timing is right if there is some news story that’s important. I’ve no idea what it could be, but still, . . .
So, AKM, are you posting this in the morning or sometime after midnight. Only 20 minutes to go – LOL.
Oops, should be Exxon. I new it didn’t look right with just one “x”.
McGinniss: They said she would not agree to an interview, unless she could be guaranteed that the piece would be favorable. She would only be interviewed by people who she knew would be favorable about her to help her prospects for 2012. Obviously, I couldn’t commit to that. Portfolio Magazine wouldn’t commit to that.
She (and her crew of incompetents) still don’t get it. She expects to be a candidate for national office and never do an interview unless a piece is favorable?
How can someone this clueless remain the governor of a state?
Damn you, McCain, for unleashing this moron on the USA!
The Mudflats has my undivided attention….
. . . or, she has decided to take the nasty federal money after all?
HEY! AKM!
Its tomorrow already by 15 minutes now!
Can we open the presents?!? Huh? Huh? Puhhhlllleeeeeeeeeeze????!!!???!!!
Yep, AKM….it’s tomorrow here!!!
Ok all you muddies. Grow up!
Now, step away from your pc’s, and have a cup of chill.
AKM will tell us when she is good and ready.
Psst AKM, they’re all gone.
Whats the scoop?
Does anyone really care that she wore an Arctic Cat jacket? That one is just silly.
Tomorrow here too’ also’
It’s gonna be a money thing. I bet money on it
Still sick as a dog. I go back Thursday. This will keep me checking throughout the day! What’s her name…in trouble. Imagine that!
It’s 9:30am in Florida and along the East Coast…
Do you know where #5 is?
So THIS IS IT(!!) (??)
http://divasblueoasis.com/
Celtic Diva is filing an ethics complaint against gino for conflict of interest …
.. “The complaint alleges a conflict of interest when Governor Palin wore specially designed snow-machine gear advertising her husband Todd’s biggest Iron Dog sponsor, Arctic Cat Inc. She did so while acting in her official capacity as Governor of the State of Alaska and official starter of the Iron Dog Snow Machine Race.
Not only was she well aware that there would be extensive Alaska media coverage, the Palins also knew that international magazine Sports Illustrated was coming to do a story on Todd. “
Could Bristol be pregnant AGAIN????
Tune in tomorrow when Sarah Palin is stunned by:
The Alaskan Legislature is preparing a press release regarding opening up impeachment hearings on Governor Sarah Palin.
The “I’m not taking the stimulus package, because people running my SarahPac told me not to”….was the last straw…..for many legislatures. And they feel that her ambition for national office, is over riding her ability to govern in the State of Alaska, and caring enough about what is good for the Alaskan citizens vs what is good politically for Sarah Palin.
I will betcha….
Refresh…refresh….refresh…
I saw the Celtic Diva thing but gee, I guess I was hoping for more!! Please oh please let it be more!!!
.. me too ..
but the timing is right .. let’s keep hoping(!)
I thought it would be an IMPLOSION.
This is just another ethic violation.
It isn’t epic, its just more of the same. How many ethic violations/charges does this woman have against her already??
You think the Attorney General is going to do a thing about this??
He was handpicked by Gino.
Nuff said right there.
And I really got my hopes up that it was going to be something HUGE, as in IMPLOSION huge…….
Argh. shaking my head…….I am going back to work.
There’s so many scandals swirling around that vampire Sarah…
Please, oh pleeeeaassse let this new one be the one that collapses her house of cards!
How can she stay propped up so long?
Can someone please list all of Sarah’s “gates” for me? I lost count. (Holding head together, Cue William Shatner voice). Head…hurts! There’s…just…so…many! Can’t…keep…track…!
But after her, there is another source of evil who needs to be ousted for the good of the country’s future: Michelle “We must be armed and dangerous” Bachmann. Yikes.
Kudos to all those thwarting the Talibangelicals on HarasMaet through their two greatest weaknesses: ignorance and extreme paranoia.
I am resorting to bartering now….come on now tell us please and I’ll send you a “moose kiss” you can display on your blog. If it is as good as expected I’ll even throw in a couple of albino “mooses” while I’m at it.
New chant;
SPILL BABY SPILL!
That’s why I hate cliff hangers. grrrrrrrrrr
Actually, the current Acting AG is someone who has been around in the Dept. of Law since way before politics was a twinkle in GINO’s eye (I think; in any case, he’s been there for ages). He’s beyond reproach, so if this can get dealt with before she gets around to appointing a new permanent AG, we may be in good shape; although I think it’s an issue that has to get passed along to the Personnel Board, so maybe not so much, since we all know who butters their bread.
According to Celtic Diva, Palin is not ankle deep in dog poop; she’s up to her eye balls in kitty litter:-)
That Artic Cat is one big feline…
Would #5 be…the newest ethics complaint? That Sarah was advertising for Arctic Cat at the Iron Dog?
I think that is the #5 cliffhanger, esp. since The Immoral Minority is reporting on it too.
This is pretty minor stuff. Seriously, what is the damage from this violation? She gives back the jacket and promises not to do it again? I am not a Palin supporter at all, but I think the sight of Palin with her family at the race, promoting a big Alaskan event, was a good thing, and the poor judgement of wearing the Artic Cat clothing is pretty minor stuff. Have her promise not to do it again and let’s get back to talking natural gas and rural Alaska issues.
By the way, this is also a waste of the Personnel Board’s time and distracts from so many larger issues they should be allowed to concentrate on.
rob old buddy that’s a great point but how often must her acts of poor judgment be overlooked? there’s so much of this type of stuff that critical mass leads to the obvious claims of corruption. or would that, too, be a distraction from all those larger issues they need to focus on? if she’d start behaving and following the law, there would be none of these issues. or complaints of ethics violations.
FYI;
You won’t even believe this.
The Republicans have called on none other than Sarah Palin to headline their big fat-cat fundraising dinner. You know they’re going to use every last dime they raise to try to slam the brakes on President Obama’s change agenda.
You know what I say? Thanks, but no thanks – how about you get back on that bridge to nowhere, Sarah.
We’ve got to beat her and the rest of those “no, baby, no” Republicans standing in President Obama’s way by winning this FEC fundraising battle on March 31st. It’s the only one in President Obama’s first 100 days. It’ll show everybody that America stands behind President Obama and Democrats fighting for change – not Sarah Palin and the “just say no” Republicans.
Contribute $5, $10, or more now to the DCCC’s Million Dollar Match campaign. If you give today, they’ll match your gift 2-to-1, tripling its impact.
We need to make sure our Democratic voices for change are stronger and louder than all their “Party of No” talk.
Republicans are trying to change the subject by going on the attack. First, it was the daddy of all Republicans, Rush Limbaugh, riling up the GOP base by rooting for President Obama to fail. Then it was RNC Chair Michael Steele transferring $1 million to bolster the House Republicans’ campaign war chest. One Republican even fessed up that his party’s goal in Congress isn’t getting anything done – it’s tearing down approval numbers for Democrats.
They’re coming for a fight. Let’s give them one.
Contribute $5, $10, or more to the DCCC’s Million Dollar Match campaign before Midnight March 31st. If you give today, they’ll match your gift 2-to-1, tripling its impact.
In 2008, Republicans got heartburn every time they came up on one of these big FEC fundraising deadlines. So what do you say we keep them on their heels?
James Carville
P.S. But even as we watch President Obama and House Democrats bring change on everything from the economy to health care, to energy policy, the last thing we can do is sit back and kick our feet up. The world is watching to see how strongly we support President Obama in his first 100 days
Lemme guess – Willow is preggers.
Ok, the chronology is not clear. You wrote the cliff hanger on 3/23 Monday. IT is now Tue 3/24 and Celtic Diva has filed a new complaint against Palin on the Arctic Cat wear.
IS THAT THE CLIFF HANGER, OR IS IT STILL TO COME.
I adore Linda for filing the complaint, BUT it is still “just” one of many and may or may not be a nail in her coffin, depending on how the AG handles it.
I am hoping the “cliff hanger” is of greater shock value than “just” another ethics complaint?
Come on, there are sooooo many scenarios that we can all think of that could ( and will hopefully ) eventually happen and like a kid at Christmas who is hoping for a pony, a bicycle can be a disappointment.
Getting suspended by Team Sarah isn’t such a bad thing, they did it to me too!
I took the plunge and signed up on TeamSarah – but my “acceptance” to their club is conditional. I hope they spend lots of time dialing the phone number.
But mostly I’m looking forward to their email saying “Welcome None Ofyourbusiness”
Great job, AKM – as usual. I enjoy lurking and reading the posts – you have a wonderful lively following. thanks
