As the mayor’s race looms near, this just landed in my inbox.  It is written by former Assemblyman Allan Tesche, who served on the Assembly with Dan Sullivan. And here’s a .pdf of the letter ==> mcginleys1 Not sure how many other inboxes were graced with this letter, but a hat tip to Phil at [...]

Sleep well, Mudflatters! The post “There’s Something Fishy in the Yukon” is up on Huffington Post for those who want to leave comments or Buzz it Up! Also, a variant of the Twitter post is up on Daily Kos and I added a poll! And for those of you who have been asking where he [...]

Sarah Palin’s communications director Bill McAllister announced today that (drumroll please)……… Sarah Palin has a Twitter account. No, I’m not kidding.  That’s the big breaking news that Eddie Burke promoted on KBYR. Why does she have this Twitter account?  Because there are so many lies and distortions in the media, that she needs a way [...]

Hockey mom, apparently now turned biker chick Sarah Palin has just welcomed the cast and crew of Orange County Choppers to the great state of Alaska.  Their custom motorcycle business is featured on the TLC network’s “American Chopper.” The Chopper and The Shopper will join ass-kickin’-for-America forces Thursday when Palin appears on the motorcycle opera [...]

Rumor has it that Bill McAllister is going to do a “pop in” on KBYR700am this afternoon at 4pm Alaska time (5pm Pacific, 7pm Eastern)  He’ll have a “major announcement” according to my sources. Hmmmm….. I could speculate,   but I’ll let you. Stream it live HERE.

Candidate for Anchorage Mayor Eric Croft today picked up another endorsement from one of the mayoral candidates who did not make it into the run off election.  Retired Anchorage Police Department Lieutenant Paul Honeman threw his support behind Croft at a press conference. “Eric and I share a strong commitment to make Anchorage a safer [...]

Despite the best efforts of Team Sarah, who organized an email and letter writing campaign to try to block the nomination of Kathleen Sebelius as Health & Human Services Secretary, she was confirmed yesterday by a vote of  65-31.  This group of Palin supporters apparently doesn’t like it when government officials support legal reproductive rights for women.  And they decided [...]

Ready for some fishy number crunching? The run of chinook (king) salmon up the Yukon river historically numbers about 250,000 fish.  Last year’s run was 180,000.  The year before was 175,000.  It takes a minimum of 170,000 fish to sustain the fishery for subsistence use, and to ensure that there are enough fish to repopulate [...]

CC, host of Cutting Edge on KUDO  1080am announced today that the station will be suspending all local programming effective immediately. The decision was made yesterday by the IBEW, owners of the station.  It’s been a rocky road for our friends at KUDO.  Last year on this day, we lost two of our favorites Shannyn [...]

Well, she takes MOST of the money.  Still on the reject list is $29 million for state energy programs. From the Associated Press – A spokeswoman for Sarah Palin says the Alaska governor is going to accept most federal stimulus funds. Spokeswoman Sharon Leighow says Palin is only likely to reject nearly $29 million for [...]

EEEEEEEEEeeeee! (splash) That was Arlen Specter. Let’s do a count.  57…58…59…and Al Franken will make 60, once Norm Coleman’s last embarrassing display of histrionics is past.  The magical number of 60 Democrats in the Senate will mean a filibuster-proof majority, and a lot of those head bags full of ice for the Republicans. So, Number [...]

Another ethics complaint was filed today against Governor Sarah Palin.  That makes a baker’s dozen!  Somewhere there’s got to be a lawyer who will charge for the first twelve and do the 13th one free.  You know….like a punch card. Eagle river resident Kim Chatman charges that Palin’s newly formed “Alaska Fund Trust” violates the sections of [...]

One of the most famous “thought experiments” in physics involves “Schroedinger’s cat“.  It’s kind of a bizarre scenario in which quantum mechanics poses certain questions about subatomic particles, and what might happen if you could apply these principles to a living entity, and that it would result in this entity (a cat) being both alive [...]

I agree with Sarah Palin.  I know….but it’s true. At least I think I do.  The thing I agree with was a story I read in The Ear, so it’s rumor for now, but if it pans out then, yes indeed, I agree with Sarah Palin. According to The Ear, the governor wants to eliminate [...]

I read with amusement yesterday the Anchorage Daily News articles about Dan Sullivan, candidate for Anchorage mayor.  Sullivan and Eric Croft are the two survivors of a heated race that resulted in a run-off to be settled a week from tomorrow. The amusing part?  The title.  “Sullivan Takes Pride in record of going against the [...]
