When I read the blog entitled Palin v. Political Punch, I couldn’t help but think of this: Just in case it doesn’t become clear to you, the little Hawaiian Punch guy with the crazy hair-do/antlers/hat is Jack Tapper, from ABC News, and the big doofus guy is….well….you’ll see.   A very irate aide to Gov. [...]

  “Meltdown”, “Implosion”, “Freak Out”…call it what you like, but the folks at ”maeT haraS” are not happy campers.  You’ll have to read the name of the organization backwards.  I do that to foil the Google alert or whatever other trigger might cause that particular brand of Palin devotee to come tramping through the Mudflats.  They’ll [...]

It’s March in Alaska.  This means the rest of the country (or at least, it feels like that) is enjoying crocuses, and temperatures in the 50s, 60s, and 70s…but we here in the North country have at least another month and a half of winter weather.  Last year on April 30th, we had over a [...]

One can only take so much Sarah Palin. And this week, she’s just plain ticked me off. So, I’m going to enjoy this Friday evening with a little “political sorbet” to cleanse the palate from a big fat indigestion-inducing overload of the current governor.  The flavor?  Bob Poe. When Sarah Palin makes me feel like [...]

I have used this term in the past, but never before has the phrase ”Palin’s war on wildlife” seemed so chillingly accurate.  It is well known that Sarah Palin has stacked the board of game with “harvesters” while shunning conservationists.  But, the detailed article in Alaska Dispatch by conservationist and author Bill Sherwonit is absolutely chilling.  I [...]

There’s a passage from the Lewis Carroll poem The Walrus and the Carpenter that seems to sum up the last couple of days. If you substitute “things AKM wanted to blog about” in place of “oysters” it’s right on the money. Four other Oysters followed them, And yet another four; And thick and fast they [...]

Remember those old Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Commercials, where the two people crashed into each other, one holding an opened chocolate bar and one holding an open jar of peanut butter?  The dialog went: Peanut Butter Guy: “Hey. You got chocolate in my peanut butter!” Chocolate Guy: “Well, you got peanut butter on my chocolate!” [...]

Nobody needs reminding how much Sarah Palin HATES earmarks.  She campaigned hard using her earmark loathing talking point at every opportunity. Why, she practically crusaded against them!  She’ll annihilate those pesky buggers whenever they dare rear their ugly fiscally irresponsible heads in her vicinity!  Well…unless, of course, they’re the ones she wants. According to Taxpayers [...]

Many who understand the situation in rural Alaska (in terms of mismanaged fisheries creating communities with no viable income, and people who are forced to choose between food or fuel for their children and elders), were, frankly,  a bit stunned when we read the email that came out yesterday from SarahPAC, Sarah Palin’s political action committee.  It [...]

Many Alaskans, while not being merciless and cold-hearted, were nonetheless, more than a little peeved with Corrupt Bastard John Cowdery’s sentece of six months home confinement…well, except for doctor’s appointments, and physical therapy, and church, and a couple other things.  The thought of an elected official selling his office, and selling the people of Alaska [...]

After Senator John Cowdery’s sentencing yesterday, it seemed….well….awfully quiet.  Traffic on the Corrupt Bastards Highway seemed mighty slow, and there didn’t seem to be anything coming down the Pike. But that was yesterday.  Today, a brand new Corrupt Bastard emerges.  Or, shall I say “Corrupt Bastardette”?  And she’s a Republican (Gasp!) from the Valley (double [...]

Since the “first family” concept has been forcibly shoved down the throat of Alaskans lately, and since Bristol Palin has recently granted an exclusive interview with Greta Van Susteren at Fox News, and since Governor Sarah Palin did a “pop in” and participated in that interview with her daughter and grandson for national release, AND [...]

Wow!! It’s been so busy here in Nunam. I am SO far behind on my updates. Here’s a “catch up” update for the past week. Nunam Iqua Food Drive has received nearly 900 lbs of food and supplies this past week. The boxes came from: JB Bush (donation order) 8 cases of diapers, 2 cases [...]

It’s been a while since the last Mudflats infiltration field trip.  So, today seemed like a good day to take a little drive to the Federal Courthouse in Anchorage.  Today is the day that the latest in a long string of “corrupt bastards” got sentenced.  You may recall a previous post or two talking about [...]

I remember back before Sarah Palin was tapped as the VP nominee, when Alaska was considered….sigh…a swing state.  I loved those days.  Anchorage was swarming with Obama staffers and we really thought there was a chance Alaska would go blue for the first time since Lyndon Johnson.  But alas, we all know the end to [...]
