Bedtime in Alaska – Open Thread
Well, I had it all planned out….another round up post to get to all the things I haven’t had time for. But, frankly, after a day of hundreds of emails, and other interesting local developments, I ran out of steam. So, instead, you get this brand new shiny open thread to talk about whatever you like, and I’m going to drag myself upstairs to my waiting pillow.
I’ve got a super strong pot of coffee all set to brew tomorrow morning, so I’ll give it another shot then!
Sweet dreams AKM
nitey nite, all
nite AKM!!
Great work AKM.
I’m copying my orphaned post from Catgate here. Brad DeLong’s blog on the house is a neat summary.
About the windows and railings- I pulled pictures of the railings, printed them at the same scale and they don’t measure out the same, nor is the framing the same material. Ditto the windows. It is not surprising to see materials imported by the same supplier at the same time look similar.
What does seem extremely similar is the architectural design, so I searched for the architect.
Brad DeLong, at U of C Economics Department wrote this blog item last October that sums it all up very well.
http://delong.typepad.com/egregious_moderation/2008/10/wayne-barrett-s.html
“THE $12.5 MILLION sports complex and hockey rink that is the lasting monument to Palin’s two terms as Wasilla mayor is also a monument to the kind of insider politics that dismays Americans of both parties. Six months before Palin stepped down as mayor in October 2002, the city awarded nearly a half-million-dollar contract to design the biggest project in Wasilla history to Kumin Associates. Blase Burkhart was the Kumin architect on the job—the son of Roy Burkhart, who is frequently described as a “mentor” of Palin and was head of the local Republican Party (his wife, June, who also advised Palin, is the national committeewoman). Asked if the contract was a favor, Roy Burkhart, who contributed to her campaign in the same time frame that his son got the contract, said: “I really don’t know.” Palin then named Blase Burkhart to a seven-member builder-selection committee that picked Howdie Inc., a mostly residential contractor owned at the time by Howard Nugent. Formally awarded the contract a couple of weeks after Palin left office, Nugent has donated $4,000 to Palin campaigns. Two competitors protested the process that led to Nugent’s contract. Burkhart and Nugent had done at least one project together before the complex—and have done several since.
A list of subcontractors on the job, obtained by the Voice, includes many with Palin ties. One was Spenard Builders Supply, the state’s leading supplier of wood, floor, roof, and other “pre-engineered components.” In addition to being a sponsor of Todd Palin’s snow-machine team that has earned tens of thousands for the Palin family, Spenard hired Sarah Palin to do a statewide television commercial in 2004. When the Palins began building a new family home off Lake Lucille in 2002—at the same time that Palin was running for lieutenant governor and in her final months as mayor—Spenard supplied the materials, according to Antoine Bricks, who works in its Wasilla office. Spenard actually filed a notice “of its right to assert a lien” on the deed for the Palin property after contracting for labor and materials for the site. Spenard’s name has popped up in the trial of Senator Stevens—it worked on the house that is at the center of the VECO scandal as well.
Todd Palin told Fox News that he built the two-story, 3,450-square-foot, four-bedroom, four-bath, wood house himself, with the help of contractors he described as “buddies.” As mayor, Sarah Palin blocked an effort to require the filing of building permits in the wide-open city, and there is no public record of who the “buddies” were. The house was built very near the complex, on a site whose city purchase led to years of unsuccessful litigation and, now, $1.3 million in additional costs, with a law firm that’s also donated to Palin collecting costly fees from the city.”
Kate in Canada: Thanks for re-posting. What a web of intrigue this woman weaves. Must send to my son – he used to work for Spenard Building Supply.
Is there any word that the State of Alaska is aware/concerned/prepared to take action re: Mt. Redoubt?
Gino wants to be a public servant, not to serve the people but to have the status and the wink wink to appeal to people who can give her things for free. She feels entitled to Socialism which she feigns to protest. Give me free clothes during a run for VP. Build me house on Alaska’s back. Let me charge per diems that I dont deserve. My children and first dud should be able to travel on Alaska’s dime and reside in luxurious hotel. This woman is beyond belief after she campaigned against Socialism. Now she wants to set up a legal fund to help pay off her legal fees. Is that not Socialism. You cant have it both ways Gino!!!
austintx – you need to get signed up to the forum and PM me. Last night I got some very interesting pix of the house. I know you’d like to see them.
Kate in Canada (23:33:40) :
Great piece on the house. But tucked in there – ‘she was hired by Spenard in 2004 for a nationwide TV commercial’. where is that, any vids out there in tuby land?.
Was reading all of the comments on HuffPo re:Catgate, and the name of a poster, ‘formerprosecutor’, kept coming up. He/she really made some dynamite points — forceful, to the point, unequivocal. Here’s the law; there’s a right and there’s a wrong, and SP didn’t exactly fall into the ‘right’ category when as Governor she wore those Arctic Cat custom-made duds.
I even wondered if ‘formerprosecutor’ might be a Mudflatter — ?? hmmm …… are you out there?
I read HuffPo a lot, especially when it features a Mudflats article. And I always remember comments that are especially informative or inspirational. But for some reason this ‘formerprosecutor’ really struck a chord with me, big time. His/her comments reinforced my hunch that Celtic Diva is on to something solid.

=========
Hi tigerwine!
Can’t remember where I read it (ADN??), but in some story I saw contacts listed for AK DEC, the Coast Guard, and Homeland Security. Also there was a statement somewhere that said the state National Guard was on alert.
But why haven’t we heard a statement from our governor? Here we’ve got a volcano on RED alert status, 6 million gallons of crude sitting there next to an active volcano and Cook Inlet — and we hear …… NOTHING?
Tonight I wrote to President Obama and Secretary Salazar. I also tried to write to Secretary Napolitano (Homeland Security), but finding the right email address off that site was too much for my little brain to do …….
Today on msnbc Keith O. had a guest who pretty much sided with SP over the Catgate affair. Disappointed me.
Well *now* with this Redoubt thing maybe Keith will reconsider SP for “Worst Person in the World.”
Anyone think she has a chance to win?
I found that horrifying. Boo hiss. Anyone who doesn’t “get it” has not thought about it. AKM
The Great Van Suckup was on Fox, doing her usual slitherin’ for GINO. She was trivialising the complaint and taking the p*ss at complaints against GINO in general. Going on about how poor, innocent Sarah was going to go broke trying to defend herself against the stinking dems. But the viewers could help!!, there will be a defence fund you Betcha!!
That guest on KO was a comedian, so can’t take him seriously.
Even if ClothingGate II doesn’t turn out to be a violation of statutes (it should), it sure is obnoxious and so is Sarah.
The question has been asked a gazillion times. Here’s the answer……………

After watching those Charmin commercials, I was pretty sure it was, in fact true. Thanks for fortifying my belief.
FYI, there’s a new post over at HuffPost this morning of herself whining that she’s not whining…I tried to post comments a couple of times, but they always seem to block me…kind of ticks me off ’cause it’s never anything offensive.
CG, thanks for mentioning in one of the previous posts that the Dud is NOT, I repeat, NOT a world champion racer, but merely runs the Iron Dog. Like his dear wife, he would be completely out of his little pond, floundering on the bank, if he ever had to actually do anything competitive outside Alaska. The pair of them are just the proverbial big fish and neighborhood bullies, nothing more.

I was annoyed too, but he is a comedian and his point was that Sarah could deliver so much more why waste it on another clothinggate. But I think he could have made a much funnier statement if he’d gone along the lines of Sarah the Billboard. He missed his chance and didn’t do the subject justice.
womanwithsardinecan – Get your sister up. This is war now.Let’s show this b^*ch what “goofy” people do.
I do hope the FBI has housegate on its agenda, but the FBI moves slowly, which is why we have to keep up the pressure on the obvious stuff, like we have been doing. Keep her so busy she doesn’t even have time to get to the shredder.
I’ve got to go to huffpost now and look at her whine about not whining.
In the Huffpo article GINO says that when she did her journalism degree, she learned the five w’s (what, when, where, who, why or something like that). It didn’t stop her making stuff up about the now President Obama. The whining, lying beyotch.
capaharas has the “latest news” on state’s plans for Redoubt. Guess we know who’s important huh? As if we didn’t know already. Arghhhhhh!
“Governor Palin encourages Alaskans to follow ash fall advisory plans
3/23/2009 – Juneau, Alaska — Governor Sarah Palin is encouraging Alaskans potentially effected by the ash fall of Mount Redoubt’ s most recent eruption to follow safety procedures. During the past two months, the State of Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management has been working with local governments to make sure communities were prepared for the impending eruption of Mount Redoubt.
“Fortunately Redoubt has been giving us signs that it was bound to blow sometime this spring,” Palin said. “These warning signs gave Alaskans in Southcentral time to protect their belongings, educate their families, and stock up on air filters and other essential protective gear.”
The State of Alaska will continue to monitor the situation at Mount Redoubt and provide the latest information to local and federal government agencies. The Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management will also work closely with the Alaska Volcano Observatory to keep media outlets informed so the very best information can reach our families. Ash fall and emergency preparedness brochures are available on the state’s website at http://www.ready.alaska.gov.
As a precautionary measure, the Alaska Air National Guard’ s 176th Wing at Kulis Air National Guard Base in Anchorage is sending five C-130 Hercules and two HC-130 aircraft to Eielson Air Force Base in Fairbanks. The 24/7 alert coverage, most notably used for search and rescue response, will not be affected by the move.
All other operations at Kulis Air National Guard Base will continue to operate as normally scheduled. The Alaska Army National Guard has moved aircraft indoors at Bryant Army Guard Airfield on Fort Richardson and has no plans to send any aircraft elsewhere. “
Not being from Alaska (though really thinking of moving there, just to vote against Palin) I decided to write to Secretary Salazar about the Chevron Oil Tanks. Found what I think is the correct email address on Department of Interior’s website: webteam@ios.doi.gov
Here’s what I wrote:
Dear Secretary Salazar,
With concerns of the 6 million gallons of oil holding in the Chevron tanks at Mt. Redoubt growing, I feel that the Federal Government needs to step in and get them to drain the tanks.
The pristine environment of Cook Inlet is at great risk. Did we not learn from the Exxon Valdez disaster from 20 years ago what an oil spill can do to the Alaska coast? That did not stay a State issue, it was a National disaster.
Considering that Governor Palin is taking no action, has not mentioned anything about this do you really want to wait for some action from her? Considering it took her months to acknowledge the food and fuel shortage in the western part of her own state, I think not.
Yes, Mt. Redoubt might not blow again for another 20 years. Yes, the slides might go somewhere else. But, looking at the pictures Chevron gave to the press about the tanks “were successfully protected,” there is no doubt another slide would do their protections in.
Who, on this troubled planet of ours, had the gall to give permits to hold oil at the bottom of an active volcano?
Let’s safeguard our National resources.
Sarah – Meet “Goofy”.

karen marie, from a previous thread, the whining on huffpost is her speech at the Lincoln Dinner.
She said what ?!?!
http://highdefinite.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/harold_whittles.jpg
Those of you in Alaska need to make your support of the Diva complaint as loud and public as possible, as Alaskan citizens. Linda is starting to feel threatened. And I don’t blame her. This is reaching the level of Bachmann’s seditious “we need to get armed and dangerous against Obama” crap. Nothing more dangerous than a mob without brains.
Kate in Canada (23:33:40)
“… In addition to being a sponsor of Todd Palin’s snow-machine team that has earned tens of thousands for the Palin family….”
Tens of thousands???
Here she is whining on AOL…be sure to check out the poll numbers. AOL is LOADED with angry old white men.
http://news.aol.com/article/palin-media-speech/398533?icid=main|htmlws-main|dl1|link3|http%3A%2F%2Fnews.aol.com%2Farticle%2Fpalin-media-speech%2F398533
Hey, watch it Sabrina! I’m an angry old…err middle aged…white man.
I think the level of concern by Palin about anything can be measured by her reaction. If Actic Diva’s complaint was so trivial why did Palin feel the need to address it on the Governor’s website? A truly trivial complaint would have best been ignored by her.
I think the complaint is completely legitimate and whether or not anyone feels it is any big deal what Palin wears or doesn’t wear to the Iron Man misses the whole point of the complaint which was crystal clear. Palin was advertising a company that has paid her family money. And I can guarantee the Palin knew asboslutely 100% what she was doing. When it comes to personal monetary gain, handouts and freebies I think that is truly the only subject that Palin is a legitimate leading expert in the country.
She has a clear and cnsistent pattern of abusing rules to benefit herself and her family and almost al of them involve money and personal gain for her family.
Palin’s big problem and one that she truly recognizes and despises is that the pesky bloggers thats she hates so much really do have the clout to affect her. She thinks she can trivilize them and pretend they don’t count. But I guarantee she (or her staff) watch these blogs closer than most of us do.
It’s just too bad they don’t pay attention to what people are really saying. Palin is establishing a very, very disturbing pattern of scofflaw behavior that may have worked in the old Ted Stevens heyday, but is a very dangerous and foolish road to take in these days of 24-7 non-stop blogging. There are just too many eyes on her now.
BTW, I’ve gotten several emails just this morning asking me to call my congress critters to oppose the President’s budget proposal. Here’s a link to show you SUPPORT for it!
http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/callcongress/budget/
Doesn’t anyone write speeches for her? With all those new PR people? How could she deliver such a poor speech, with wrong historical information?!!
I am glad she keeps showing what an idiot she is, but really, get a speechwriter. “Appearing” is her only skill.
Good quote from Huff:
FidgetyFeet
Sarah”s appeal can be summed up easily.
She appeals to the minds of the heartless, and the hearts of the mindless.
Excuse me, can someone tell me how to leave a post on Diva’s page? Is the e-mail link?
Checking in again AKM…I called and e-mailed the ‘Big Three,’ Greenpeace Sierra Club, and EDF over this. Thanks for getting ahead of the MSM as usual.
I have been reading over the past few months but not commenting…I guess ‘volcano monitoring’ has some value after all. Now if only Chevron would listen to the data.
Seriously, that oil has to be moved. If Cook Inlet is compromised, not to mention the oil lost, it will be yet another body blow to your beautiful state and its many residents. I hope this turns out for the best and no spills.
@Tewise,
I’m having a problem with it too. A pity, because I’d like to post. I feel she deserves to get a lot of support.
I also would like to comment to Linda (Celtic Diva), but can’t figure out how to do it. It sounds like she could use all the support we can give her. I live far away from Alaska in Kansas, but I support her all the way. It would be good if she could get great support from all over the nation, or the world for that matter. She is a very brave woman.

Thanks DrChill.
Sarah can’t be bothered with Redoubt because she’s too busy reading a paperback about Lincoln and imagining herself in a stovepipe hat. (All about the clothes.) I just got done watching the whole excrutiatingly long Lincoln Dinner speech, and it’s both hilarious and maddening to hear her comparing herself to Lincoln. Hey, Lincoln was mocked too! That makes me just like him! She spends a looooong time holding up a book and just reading from it — how lazy is that! I can’t believe what a bad speaker she is. Her campaign handlers and the speechwriter for her convention speech must have been brilliant to orchestrate her national introduction at the convention. Of course, she blew it after that every single time she had to open her mouth and speak on her own. Also too.
Thank you too Dr. Chill, also……..Do you see it Irishgirl I still don’t, do I have it on the right page, I see the Drift river on the page I am on…
OOps never mind, I never saw that it doesn’t show the whole page that I have to slide the bar. So sorry for looking so stoopd, and thank you again Dr. Chill.
ocliberal (06:00:03)
You could argue that the complaint was trivial, before Palin made such a big deal out of it. There must be millions of teenagers in this country who could have ‘wiggled out’ of the the problem quite easily-by admitting that they weren’t thinking, and by offering profuse apologies.
We should keep in mind, that Palin (despite having “studied” journalism) seems to feel that she has constitutional protections against criticism in the press. One can imagine her contempt of criticism by a blogger!
Good morning! Head on over to Celtic Diva’s blog, she has been getting grief from our NOT so upstanding Gino. What her (Queen Taliban Gino’s) “Cling on’s” don’t understand is this, if she would act and be ethical, then these ethic complaints would not be submitted.
Queen Taliban Gino and her Cling On’s are actually blaming the bloggers for disrupting her lifestyle? Has this individual NO shame? it really is quite easy to push her buttons and to watch her swing like a pendelum. On another note, she seems to go after people that she feels she can with the help of her Cling On’s, push around and scare. Support Celtic Diva, and I say, let’s push back really, really hard! Oh and by the way, Cling On’s are NOT what Mr. Spock was on Star Treck….when we were kids, Cling On’s were nasty things….kinda like Dingle Berries.
I think this word is Ennealogic’s and it’s brilliant: Sarasites. (Sarah + parasites)
First, I’m hoping the best for you with Redoubt in active mode, and too am puzzled at why an oil company would store oil at the bottom of a volcanic mountain. Maybe land was really cheap. But, seriously, it leaves one wondering who really cares, in the event of a lava spill, or an immense spring melt, flooding.
On another note, was watching news in my area, my provincial Premier and a neighboring State Governor were meeting and in my experience with these and their administrations have never heard a peep of adversity from either of them. There is a great spirit of comraderie, and a forge of friendship which opens doors to “progressing” with mutual business efforts. I have never heard of the whine mechanism of statesmen like I’ve heard with SP. I think SP reads all right, her precious handbook, of “How to Whine 101″.

Hey Dr. Chill or anyone else more computer savvy than me.
I have tried to create my new account over at Diva’s Blue Oasis but

Suggestions?
I’d like to, but I can’t figure it out either…
I was wondering about something.Because of the fact that she has so much power as Governor,do her comments possiby rise to the level of putting pressure on anyone who makes a compaint about her?Does she run the risk of breaking whistle blower laws or something because she uses her office and the states website to publicly chastise Alaska citizens for following the law and submitting complaints about ethical breaches ? Is she committing another ethical breach by putting pressure on those citizens ?
Huffpo has a post about Palin Sounding Off about the press and the comments are hilarious. If you need some chuckles, go read them. I’m still laughing! It is in the “Politics” section.

Hi Problem Child; are you a New Brunswicker too? Great!! – wow it’s a small world. yes, too, the article is the big story right now. They are planning to build a natural-gas powered station, instead of coal, and wind-generation, which will be a lot cleaner. Like all projects, this could take months, if not years, but…..
Am getting on my second coffee of the day, the brain cells are re-activating, I have another comment on this idea out there that those who react to SP’s unethical behavior are “scared” of her. “OH, they must be really scared of her”….on Fox news, and elsewhere. It’s a common word weapon. As if, her supporters are really glad that we are scared of her. Yes, during the Inquisition, peasants were “scared” of evil cardinals and popes. During the Holocaust, Jews were “scared” of Hitler and his minions. During all wars, innocents were “scared” of evil dictators. Fear is a response to a normal person who feels insecure by the actions of another.
If Sarah supporters, and am directing this to them, feel that fear is a good thing, then why does the Bible say, “Perfect love drives out fear”. If fear is what these bots seem to enjoy watching, then these bots have a real psychological, sadistic, problem. Just saying.
DuckDriver, I had to scroll down and enter my e-mail, then enter those wavy letters in the little box, so they’d know I was human. Got it wrong the first time. When I got it right, I was ‘in like Flint’, didn’t have to wait for an e-mail confirmation. Keep trying.

Mommom…….I agree with you, she is manipulating the public through her press release responses. Rather directive don’t you think? “Helping” those out there to see how to “view” the complaint filed against her. Pathetic and dark.
She very well knows a complaint against her by Linda would be a valid complaint, nothing trivial or soft. Palin knows Linda well and is sweatin this one. In the past Palin praised Linda’s ability and desire to hold people accountable and had Linda help her do it to others who had it coming, yep, Palin used Linda to benifit herself in order to get ahead, back in the day.
No, Palin knows she’s up against a true watchdog. BTW, I think I read this is Linda’s first ethic complaint she’s filed against Palin. I’d say 99.9% that it has teeth. Don’t let Palin’s slights and swipes toward Linda mislead anyone.
here’s something else that should be leveled against her……

Celtic Diva, you have my support!
Maybe we will be blessed with another press release from GINO today about removing the oil from the Drift River Tank Farm. Seems like a no brainer.
Those bloggers are making her look bad on purpose……….
Well, bloggers like to think up solutions for minimizing avoidable coastal pollution’s, developing clean renewable energy, protecting the wild, become more educated with heath care for all, and learn about are political and corporate partnerships.
Blogging is a new and realtime method of improving the global social and political conditions on the planet. Those little invisible electrons are more powerful than your many wines GINO. You better get use to more of those electron firing in the freedom of the world wide web.
Politicians that have acquired power, rather then earned it, are now confronted with a new de-mention of critical thinking. Those darn electrons connect together and create better politicians. Its just the ethical truth that we are after. Wine away Gino! Its interesting for bloggers to observe your manipulative and devious ways. God Bless
Wildlife Avenger,
Sister Martha is an hour behind me up there in Alaska so I usually don’t see her here early in the morning when I’m awake and nobody else is. I know she got a little frustrated and saddened by some of the discouraged and negative comments, so she may be spending less time here for a few days. She does that when she needs a little perspective (or has to catch up with her very busy job because she’s been posting too much and filling all those flat rate boxes). She’ll be back, with her cape on, soon I’m sure. And she needs to meet Petey, if she missed him the first time.

Thanks to Irishgirl~~
Got myself registered and left a comment. Saw yours too Reverend.
womanwithsardinecan – thank you. Did you meet Goofy ?? He’s not a happy camper right now.
It does appear that the Diva is getting some nasty comments at Le Bleue Oasis. I don’t think such rhetoric is helpful, but I don’t agree with her decision to ban so many posters just as I don’t agree with team Sarah from attempting to hide their discussions behind closed doors. I do appreciate being able to make my opinion know even if most of you don’t agree with what I have said. Progressive Alaska has an interesting comment on this complaint. It seems to me that she is not very supportive of it. Just had to laugh at that Faux News clip, my favorite network for comedy.
The Diva seems to respond to the nasty comments but does not seem to say much about the more reasonable posters that do not agree with her decision to file this complaint. I still think this complaint will (and has to some extent already) lessen the serious nature of some of the other complaints and also result in more support ($$$) and sympathy going Sarah’s way. I still believe most reasonable people will see this complaint as sour grapes. In my opinion some of the moderate and undecideds on the issue of Sarah’s ethics will be swayed in her direction.
I just watch the entire 12 video clips of Palin at the Lincoln’s Dinner. PAINFUL. She is a shameless, self absorbed ,Narciissistic, sociopath. The part where she compares herself to Abraham Lincoln for being Persecuted, blah, blah, blah. The worst was part 11…….watch that one folks. She says she is not going to whine and complain but then spends 5 minutes whining and complaining about how these baseless ethics compalints are costing her family a fortune…and she is left paying hundreds of thousands in legal fees just doin’ her governor’s duties! Right! Sarah…you’re having to pay these attorney fees because you are an unethical, compulsive LIAR!
So, let me get this right…we get GINO’s whiny, sophomoric press releases about how horrible not-anonymous bloggers are when they file LEGITIMATE ethics complaints ON the STATE’S official website, but the ones about how we’re reacting to the problems at the Drift River facility due to Mt. Redoubt on the CAPHARAS site? WTF is WRONG with these people? Did Staplemouth and BM get their offices mixed up this week?!?!?!?
In reading the comments from an ex judge/prosecutor who was commenting on Huff. Post about this subject (someone mentioned him on another thread) according to him this ethics complaint seems to carry a lot of weight and could be a defining moment in Sarah Palin’s demise. He said that whatever money they accepted should have either been returned or could have be donated to a charity as long as her name wasn’t associated with the donation but taking money from a corporation for sponsorship for anything is a big no, no as long as she is governor. And the way she’s squawking I think he may be right.
I think the new GOP motto should be: Being a Republican means never having to take responsibility for your actions.

Some one on a RW blog described her speech as schizophrenic…Why would anyone care to hear her babbling word salad about this! God she is a flippin’ whiner!

oops and AKM I sent an e-mail to Celtic Diva with that link but she might be scared to hope it so if you think it is worthy please pass it to her..
Yes Irishgirl I think she needs all our support and she will definitely have all of mine.

Rougemont (08:54:30) :
I spent some time Googling Sarah Palin and her fashion. The Wall Street Journal had an article on it. At its height, Interest in Palin’s Hair, Glasses, Jackets Skirts & Dresses, and Oh dear god her Shoes! was and still is big business.
It was important enough to spend $150,000 on her.
Sales of Palin Glasses shot up.
Companies rushed to copy and knock off her style.
With that said did she really not know that Arctic Cat would benefit from her wearing their product ? Is she stupid or playing stupid?
It doesn’t matter. Sarah Palin fashion is business.
And her family got paid by Arctic cat and she and her daughter wore Arctic Cat Clothes.
Did Palin not know she’s Governor of Alaska and did she forget who paid the Todd Palin to endorse their company?
Here are some headlines:
Palin’s Style Sparks Buying Frenzy, And Fashion Firms Rush to Cash In
Wig Sellers Capitalize on Upswept Hairdo; Naughty Monkey’s Red Heels Get a Lift
Sarah Palin’s Suit Jackets
Sarah Palin must have a quite large closet. The peach, off white, and red suit jackets she is wearing … we may get ideas about what bright colored jackets we could go out and shop for to add to our business attire…. See below how to put together a Sarah Palin suits wardrobe.
Sarah Palin’s debate shoes take center stage
When Sarah Palin was spotted in Naughty Monkey red patent leather peep-toe pumps last month, the shoe blogs went ape. The $89.95 pumps also sold out fast. The WSJ reported that sales jumped by 50%
Palin has created quite a stir … with her designer glasses
The nation’s eyes aren’t just on Gov. Sarah Palin — they’re on her glasses.
It’s been awhile since the optical business has been as charged by celebrity specs as it has by the rimless pair the vice presidential nominee wears most of the time. If she wins, it could rock the vision-care market, which totals
$26.6 billion a year,
says tracker Jobson Optical Research.
It’s already shaking up the company that makes them.
“We keep getting calls from dealers who want to stock the exact shape and style that she’s wearing,” says Amy Hahn, vice president at Italee, the U.S. distributor of the frames designed by Kazuo Kawasaki, a Japanese industrial designer.
Back in 1996, Rage Against the Machine won a Grammy for rapping about what we’d felt for decades: “I want to be Jackie Onassis…I want to wear a pair of dark sunglasses…I want to be Jackie O…” Now everyone wants to be Sarah Palin.
“The country is now watching every move Alaska Governor and Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin makes — and what she’s wearing when she makes them — including during her crucial speech to the GOP convention Wednesday night.
The Republican National Committee has spent more than $150,000 to clothe and accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family …
The excellent article AKM wrote on Huff re the volcano & oil tanks was forwarded and read by Rick Sanchez, CNN, last evening via Twitter as I received a Twitter message back from him
ricksanchezcnn@meede wow, great stuff. great read, thanks
about 15 hours ago from web in reply to meede
I just looked at his Twitter page and he has added my message with the Huff link on his Twitter favorite page for hopefully more people to read AKM’s article. Would be nice if he or someone at CNN takes hold of it and runs with it on air. Here’s hoping!!
AKM: I sent an email to you earlier this morning advising you of sending it to Sanchez & acknowledgement he read it.
I have infiltrated “Team Scarah”…oh my…… it is a fun read. They are telling everyone to get over to AOL to participate in the poll. And the best part is……someone is suggesting that Queen Palin’s campaign slogan for her 2012 Presidential run should be “SARAH, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.”……………………………….priceless and perfect in every way! LOVE IT! They should definitely use that one!
Their live chat room is a hoot. It is just like listening to 16 year old girls on the phone. Really quite pathetic………..
The link I provided about shows our much Artic Cat was counting on the popularity of the Gov. it comes out and says it…

They’re WAY too moronic to figure that out.
drChill,
Thanks for the info. She has celebrity status and people want to look like Sarah. Still, I think most people believe she wore that jacket to show support for her husband and his team. I don’t believe it was a calculated attempt to make her family or her husband more money. It may be a technical violation of the ethics rules but it is certainly understandable and to go to the level of filing an ethics complaint over it is beyond the pale. Most people who have taken it seriously are already anti-Palin and those that were unsure will not be swayed by this. The reactions that I have seen show a somewhat lukewarm reception to this even by such sites as this one, and conversely the pro-Palin sites are using this as a springboard to build support. Those like me who have not made a decision as to Palin in the future will be more sympathetic to her spin on these complaints, in my opinion.
That slogan is a crack-up. Simple is right, as in simpleton.
Boo-Boo Bear: They could take that a step further and call her ‘Simple Sara’. =)
It was not a “technical” violation of the ethics rules, it was a clear, full-on violation. You need to learn a little more about the law, especially as regards ethics violations. Not petty, not technical, not an accident by a loving wife. GINO is all about calculating, especially when free stuff is involved. You are just completely barking up the wrong tree and it is clear by the responses from “normal” people (as in NOT those dingbat supporters of hers), that most people clearly see the conflict of interest and her constantly expanding pattern of ethics violations. We get your point, understand it, you don’t need to keep repeating it over and over as though that gives it more weight. It doesn’t. Go talk to some government employees about how much attention they HAVE to pay to ethics and possible conflicts of interest.
Celtic Diva is my rockstar! The press release the Governor just had to get out will be worth a thousand words when she tries to defend herself against the ethics charges. I too believe her public pandering for money to defend herself against these ethics charges will be used against her too, also. I think an anger management course might curtail some of these legal fees, just sayin.
quote/
Earlier Madam Justice Elizabeth Bennett presided over the criminal case against former premier Glen Clark for, it was alleged, breach of trust in the matter of having an insignificant sun deck built at his small East End Vancouver house. Clark resigned as premier because of the investigation in 1999 and was acquitted in 2002.
end of quote/
In British Columbia a premier was forced to resign for building a small deck on his house with the help of a neighbour who was a builder, and who around the same time got a casino license. The neighbour was convicted.
The benefit received was much smaller than an entire house.

Shorter Palin: “I’m not whining,” she whined.
Rougemont/Red Mountain
‘The lady doth protest too much, methinks.’ Reasonably, but still too much.
By trying to convince me that this is ‘much ado about nothing’, you reinforce my belief that this complaint both has legs and teeth.
Rougemont: Thanks for sharing your comments. However, I disagree with your assumption that this will be taken as lightly as you think it will.
Money changes the whole equation.
If you family was receiving a hefty sponsorship by a company, do you really think you would not have that sponsorship in mind anytime you would be involved in a public event that involved said company? I most certainly would have the money equation on my mind if my family benefited from a sponsorship like that.
That being said, if I was governor (and former VP candidate) as well, I would be doubly careful as to how I would associate myself with that company. The conflict of interest potential would be off the charts.
I guess only time will tell who is right on this one.

When Al Capone couldn’t get indicted for murder extortion gambling prostitution etc… they got him on tax evasion.
Its a technical thing. Not sexy not inclined to arouse emotions.
Violating a treaty or trade agreement or other agreement on technical grounds does not get you off the hook.
Sarah wants to play in the big league and play by the sand lot rules. Take backs and do-overs don’t count.
“Aww shucks, I’m an innocent girl”, doesn’t get a pass.
Sarah Did NOT wear a Go Team #22, or a ‘GO TODD’ jacket. She wore the freebee from the company that gave the Palins CASH , Discounts, and Freebees including the Jacket she AND her daughter were wearing.
In return she promoted – Arctic Cat NOT Todd Palin.
The difference is kinda like swearing to love the best man and not the groom.
This is kind of product endorsement is big business.
Its also unethical for a Governor.
She was supposed to be the ethical reformer.
What happened?
OK, I figured out what the problem was over at Diva’s Blue Oasis.
She did not like my browser! I mainly use FireFox and for some
reason it would not accept the security word. I tried IE and bingo!
Got right on.
If any of you use FireFox and have the same trouble just switch
to IE to register.

I know most of you read Gryphen’s blog, so you’ve probably seen this, but if you haven’t…he wrote about Alaskan’s for Truth yesterday, and I asked him what they have been up to re: Troopergate. (I have their blog on my homepage and hadn’t seen any updates, since doo doo dogan/dyson debacle) Here is what he said…and its very good news :“And crystalwolf, yes the AFT have plans. They are going to start being much more visible. Remember they did a great deal of work to get Walt Monegan his hearing which resulted in the “Troopergate” investigation, they were successful in pressuring Talis Colberg to resign, and if not for them Todd Palin would never have been found guilty of contempt of the Senate. All in all it was a very exhausting but rewarding five months.
And please be aware that there is much going on behind the scenes that is not made public. The AFT have not been sitting idly by these last few months. Trust me on that.”
@DuckDriver,
Yay, you made it!
Did this AM’s Mt. Redoubt activity damage the oil tanks?
Rougemont or Red Mountain
Thank you for your comments and position on GINO’s eithical standards.
You are welcome to your opinion, as we all are to our own.
Frankly, Celtic Diva would not have taken out this complaint without very good legal advice. This story will have legs, whether Palins moronic fans like it or not.
I could care less what brings this dreadful woman to a smartly slammed door, as long as something does.

New thread, folks. (thanks, Duck Driver. I’m headed there now.)
here_in_PA,
I let out a big “YES” as he read AKM’s article last night that I submitted to him on his Twitter page. Very well may not have been me but still makes me shout ‘YES”. Hope he doesn’t make it all about Jindal as he just mentioned though.
This is one of the reasons I left here for awhile – Celtic Diva pulled a BRILLIANT move. Like one of those little sleeper movies you see and end up loving because of its quirky or unusual commentary and impact on you. You wonder why it didn’t become popular? How could people of have missed this little gem of a movie? How did you even stumble on it, by accident (usually)?
That’s what we have here w/ Celtic Diva. Some posters are confusing her blog w/ Team Sarah site – are you nuts? Celtic Diva is not a political action committee group – she’s a blogger and can do whatever she damn well pleases on her site and delete whoever she wants. Just like AKM does. She’s a BLOGGER. In Alaska, we are incredibly fortunate to have several AMAZING INTELLIGENT and INVESTIGATIVE bloggers. Because they are so good, people have started to think of these as “news sites” because they are better and more informative than almost any and every Alaskan media outlet we have.
But WTF? There is no blogger code of anything – the ethics, techniques, etc used by bloggers are not a CODE of any organization – we are seeing their own beliefs and values echoed in how they run their blogs. They do all follow the requirement to credit quoted articles, links and photos – but aside from that, they do what they do. And each site reflects the personality, passion, integrity and creativity of the blogger. That’s why we go there.
I’m really tired of so many complaining about this or that with the Alaskan bloggers, esp. over Celtic Diva’s brilliant move. And may I ask those people, what have YOU done personally to trip up SP? Have you put your peace of mind, your blogging, professional and personal reputation on the line? Have you the energy to keep up with the work associated with a consistently excellent blog site, including troll patrol? Please stand up and be counted if ANY of the critics of Celtic Diva’s action have done anything CLOSE to what she has done here and what she is risking. For that matter, please stand up if you’ve worked as hard as I HAVE in little ways, every day, for months, to bring this creep to her knees!
Celtic Diva exercised her right as a constituent to hold the maniacal governor accountable – and she didn’t have to ask any of you for permission to do so. Folks are acting like this is a strategic battle, where certain things should happen at certain times in order to win. NOT. That’s of course what the right wingers are stupid enough to think – that it’s all some HUGE orchestrated plot against SP, starting from the top w/ our president.
Why do I think this move was BRILLIANT? Because the timing was absolutely perfect in pushing Sarah Palin, the worst governor to walk the earth, into publishing her little vendetta style snotty response on the STATE website. SP pretended to miss the point, as she always does, and try the attack mode, which she always does. SP in incensed about this for PRECISELY the reason that so many of you think it’s not important, because it’s little, it’s niggly, but it is 100 percent right on the mark and there is no wiggling out of it. She may get no real censure, but she also will NOT be able to pull this ever again, anywhere. SP’s wardrobe and looks are overly important to her, so this hits her where it hurts the most. It also completely rankles her because she won’t be able to do just as she pleases, and that is paramount to taking her down a notch at a time.
It’s precisely this ability to push SP’s buttons because of her personality disorder and vendetta addiction that will help push her over the edge. She can not help herself – and if she shows any restraint, it’s very temporary because she’s always angry about it and just can’t rest til she gets her digs in. This exposes her to the core, and will continue to be an effective way to “peck the governor’s ankles” til she walks right over the cliff.
I don’t care that everyone is waiting for the BIG ONE to bring her down in flames, you can wish what you want. But since I’m in Alaska, living in the same town as the Governor and the circus she has created with this Legislative session, I don’t care HOW she flames out, just that she flames out. If it takes two years, it takes two years. But she will go down – she just doesn’t have what it takes to go national without being ripped to shreds using her own dysfunctional ambitions to do it.
I began to feel as though many posters here sounded as whiny and hand wringing as the right wing blogs that I’ve visited. Be pissed at me if you want, but crying chicken little never got anyone what they wanted – nor does blaming Alaskans, or telling everyone “BE AFRAID” and all the nonsense posted along those lines. Use your brains, your creativity, and your GUTS like Celtic Diva di and pick up the ball and run with it instead of whining. We all know that’s what SP should do, but she can’t. Mudpuppies can, yes they can, but they have to WANT to do it.

Yeah, what a load of poo. If somebody still can’t figure out what GINO is by this time and is waiting for “her spin” on her latest ethical idiocy, then maybe this person needs to go hang with a different crowd. You are not attempting reasonable discussion, nor are you giving polite due to other opinions as was given to yours the first half dozen times. Pot stirring by somebody still waiting to be convinced about something. I amend my request for you to go do some homework before spouting negative ignorance to just go. But that’s just me, and this is not my blog.
Bravo Martha UYS – You said what I tried to say just before you, only you said it so much better.
Not pissed @ Martha UYS. Not one bit.

You hit Rougemont pretty hard there. Yesterday it was Liz P., I believe – along with a little shot at me in there too.
With the shouting capitals, I think you are missing the purpose of this blog.
If we all agree, we will all be bored and learn nothing. The purpose is to share our thoughts. Your recent comments make me feel as if my thoughts should not be expressed here, in your opinion.
I am not a troll, not a Sarah supporter, and I don’t think Sarah should have worn that jacket. I have enjoyed reading Diva’s blog for a long time and generally agree with her thoughts on things, though not on filing this ethics complaint.
However, I also don’t think I or anyone else has to prove their Mudflat creds to you in order to post here. And I particularly don’t think there is a place for calling people ‘whiny’ because they have a different viewpoint than you do on this issue.

!!! The fact that she wore it to support the team has absolutely nothing to do with it !!!!
The point is — she is so incredibly ethically bankrupt, she doesn’t even THINK about the possibility of impropriety. Ethics handbooks always warn about about “the appearance of a conflict of interest” …… even the appearance of it can be a violation. She doesn’t have the sensitivity, curiosity or intelligence to recognize what a conflict of interests would be.
So she continues to barge through those doors, take the money as she goes, and do what she wants until someone stops her.
