Ah, that’s our Ziggy. Contessa Brewer at MSNBC had John Ziegler on today to discuss David Letterman’s tasteless jokes about Sarah Palin and her daughter. He, apparently had a different agenda. He seemed more interested in using the time to insult Brewer, rail on MSNBC, whine about the media, jab at Keith Olbermann, and demonstrate [...]

No political mud this time.  Today, it was the real deal. Since the summer has been unusually warm, and many flowers seem to be blooming early, I thought I’d take a hike to my favorite iris spot.  Irises love boggy marshy areas, and there’s a great one near here.  Usually they are blooming by mid June, so [...]

Last night was the Anchorage Assembly meeting in which the public was invited to give testimony about ordinance #64, which ensures non-discrimination in housing, education and employment for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered persons. Pastor Jerry Prevo of the Anchorage mega-church the Anchorage Baptist Temple was the one organizing those in opposition to the passage [...]

Got back late from the Assembly meeting.  Tried to get a post up but am falling asleep at the keys. Testimony was taken at the meeting until 11:00, and will continue at another meeting next Tuesday. Pictures and writeup tomorrow morning….. ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz…..

Not good news.  Prevo’s army is out in force.  Bussed in from the Valley.  Sea of red shirts coming to rail against civil rights of Alaskans.  Please come if you can to show your support.  Wear anything but red… Loussac Library Assembly chambers.

It’s hard to keep up with our traveling governor these days.  Everywhere you turn, there she is.  I’ve gotten more emails and links and stories than I know what to do with, and frankly the thought of writing up a whole post on each of these things gives me a precognitive headache just thinking about [...]

  There were several things that jumped out at Alaskans from the Hannity/Palin interview that taped on Sunday and aired the following night on Fox.  First was the gooey missive on how great it is that Alaskans own the resources of the state, and that the state gives us a nice check every year based [...]

For those in Anchorage, or within driving distance, please don’t forget to come to the Assembly meeting today, Tuesday, June 9 at 5pm at the Assembly Chambers in the Loussac Library.  If you want to give public testimony supporting the non-discrimination ordinance, come EARLY.  Jerry Prevo and his supporters will be there in force.  I’m [...]

There are times when commentary just seems unnecessary.  (From Sean Hannity’s interview on Fox News tonight with Sarah Palin) Hannity:  By the way for all of us in New York, where we are now, where we pay 10% income tax, you actually give every citizen in Alaska a check back. Palin: We are the only [...]

When we last left our heroes, they were driving up the highway to Eagle; trucks loaded with supplies, and eager to reach the flood stricken region that was awaiting, among other things, the coveted pressure washer!  The pressure washer, cleaning fluid and other supplies were purchased with the generous donations of the Mudflats community.  Hope, [...]

Mudflatter Merry Prankster was our boots on the ground at the Sarah Palin appearance on Long Island yesterday, including the IGHL (Independent Group Home Living) fundraiser, and the Sean Hannity interview.  Many thanks to Merry Prankster for this entertaining and interesting report! ************************************************************ by Merry Prankster The fundraiser included three events – the actual fundraiser, [...]

Yeah, they’re everywhere.

To truly appreciate the latest incident between the Republican Party and Governor Sarah Palin, it’s helpful to take a moment to refresh our memories. I posted a while backabout the strange and devolving relationship between Sarah Palin and the GOP when it comes to “making dates”.  Here’s a quick recap. First Palin says she can’t [...]

Here is part two of the trilogy.  We now join the Hope Truck as it arrives in Anchorage, filled almost full with supplies  for those in Eagle who are trying to rebuild after the flooding. ******************************* We skinned into the parking lot at Lowe’s at about 4:17, tied the balloons onto the canoe rack and hoped [...]

Here’s the report we’ve all been waiting for, and it was definitely worth the wait.  Mudflatter Hope is the one who volunteered to fill up a truck of donated supplies, tools, and clothing donations and drive them up the highway to Eagle to help the victims of the Yukon River flooding.  She did such a [...]
