Shanynn -
Give a quick shout to those pups in NYC. We have not heard a peep out of ‘em.
They must be pickled by now. They said they were gonna listen……and call.
Yell at ‘em. This is irresponsible and unacceptable that they have not ckd. in.
Lining up and wagging my Mudpuppy tail!
Can’t wait to hear what Shannyn has to say today with all the new news about Gino…
Austin – SO thinking of them. They must be having a real good time!
Should be a lively show tonight. I had thought once Palin exits the stage there would be no more drama and WTFs coming out of Alaska… But Palin is the story that does not die!!
I’m here, but not confessing to be fair or balanced, slightly unbalanced, I’m working on my 2nd beer. =)
Zyggy–you can lean on me if you must…
present…well, in and out…
thank you cassie
hwmnbn —-
Shannyn stated that much of todays hot topics are strictly off limits–see her blog..
zyggy, catch up, I’m on my 4th!
Is it just me (too much Public Radio) but the sheer number of ads makes me NUTS!
I Shannyn made a very wise decision, otherwise all the cpee’ers would be whinny to her.
checking in from city of Angels (and devils lol) – GO Shannyn and AKM!
Cassie – public radio spoils you. I can’t imagine what sirrus would be like.
Mudflats shout out!
All might want to read this quickly. There is something Shannyn WILL NOT be talking about. Just letting you know so other things can be talked about.

Ditto from L.A. Give ‘em Hell, Shannyn.
SM says long week—
topics: healthcare, democratic spine missing, full mailbox, etc re: Palin divorce news..
Shannyn is talking about Alaskan Blog divorce story.
refers us to her blog to see her opinion on that…
Shouts to Prudhoe Bay
Shannyn–oh well, so much for not talking about it–LOL—Shannyn DOESN’T CARE!
Cassie Jeep Pike Palin,
You are correct, she’s starting out just mentioning the wildire in the internet and she doesn’t care. Setting down the ground rules. Good for her, it’s her show, she determines the direction.
SM doesn’t want this to be distraction from important issues–
The “Other Allegations” from Gryphen– gun on Levi–SP influence on Sherry Johnston trial–
if allegation is true–
It’s a rumor for now but if Sarah Palin influenced a prosecutor, could that be the iceberg?
“Judas priest!” Haven’t heard that since my dear old dad passed away!
Just checking out the latest SP crazy and knew Mudflats would be on it
Pittsburgh PA
divorce is not illegal..so that is a personal issue–
but the SERIOUS issues are influence (possibly) in the trial–revamping the Troopergate/Branchflower report–
SP’s track record–I would say TRADEMARK–
Wow, I am listening to the show for the first time!
What a day this has been!
I am waiting for Levi to say ‘yeah he pointed a gun at me’
Who is Keith Johnston?
Ripply in CT–NYC Mudstock! 22 Mudpups!
Ripley in CT….YAY!!!!!!!!!!!
trevinca–not sure
Ripley is on, nyc mudstock, yippee
Keith Johnston is Levi’s father!
Shannyn acknowledges the interest of lower 48ers in the Alaskan areas of concern..
Thanks, mmboucher–not much news about him in all this…
Shannyn has the BEST music!
Hi Ripley & NY Mudstockers! Thanks for calling in!
NY, NJ, CT, PA—are these the dreaded East Coast liberals? You betcha!
*wave to nyc mudstock*
there are 13 of us in the chat room, just wanted to let you all know that we are listening, and posting there.
39 Cassie Jeep Pike Palin Says:
August 1st, 2009 at 5:03 PM
But there are rumors about him!
I agree with Shannyn. I don’t care whether the ex-GINO is getting a divorce – or not.
mm–is there anyone in AK about whom rumors don’t fly?
Thanks Zyggy—
I’m going crosseyed as it is, over here–
caller congrats SM for taking the high road–caller is GA Peach!
hello NY mudstock attendees! Thx for checking in – hope to meet some of you in Pittsburgh!
wonder if she will touch on the part where the the long delayed Johnston arrest supposedly came right after the rumored gun episode. a different kind of pressure to keep the gun episode quiet and destroy any creds Sherry Johnston may have had? Notice how carefully we are protecting AKM–you know rumored and supposedly (((
))
faithfulpup–I was trying to get an accurate time line–that info is helpful..
Big hugs for the kids–well deserved–but distractions do not help us deal with current issues..
Having gone through a custody battle years ago that took three years I swear it takes years off your life. For the childrens sake, stay togather if at all possible by getting counseling, or if not try to settle with equal visitation. It is also VERY expensive. BTW I am male and won custody from a mentally ill mother who refused help.
GA Peach does us proud—SM is glad that SP has made AK issues more well known and getting the attention for Alaskans
glad to hear the pebble mine and aerial wolf hunting mentioned Thanks Shannyn
Hey! Mud-stockers!…or is it Mud-stalkers…ha!
can’t wait to meet ya’ll in Pittsburgh.
xo
(Waves to GA Peach!)
shy “hi”, Shannyn–deep bows…
AKM–are we being good, now?
Shout out to all my peeps in NYC!
Good evening from a faithful Alaskan mudpup who is sweltering in Florida!
What a week to be gone from having my ear to the Alaska ground and to miss the earthquake of the Palin household news!
Hope the NYC mudstock is having great fun in the mud!
Shecking in from SoCal. Waving frantically at Mudstockers
Checking
callers should bring their manners–SM agrees any blogger can write whatever they want on their blogs and defends their right to do so, but for her, she wants to stick to relevant issues aka healthcare
caller Liz from NY another mudflat follower
Wave to Bear woman in Florida from Tampa
reminds us that no third party ever knows what really goes on between two people–
but it’s also CLEARLY interesting to speculate!
Liz questions what part Todd may have played in compromising SP by being too involved in the Gov’s work–
Waves back, AKM!
I can’t eat or drink money. It is past time that corporations were held accountable (and excised from our government’s decision making). I’m ‘the people’. Time for my representative to represent me, instead of padding their pockets.
My old boss (an attorney) said to watch out for the 3 p’s – politicians, preachers, and painters (apologies to painters.)
Shannyn,
I have seen you on Countdown a few times, you are a very interesting person, it took a while to find the station that you are on. Tonight I found you and am listening to you, just as interesting as I thought you would be.
Just to let you know, I am listening ‘ONLINE’ in Puyallup, WA
I hope to hear or see you someday soon nationwide.
Sam.
SM returns topic to “abuse of power” parallells with Troopergate and the Johnstons, since branchflower report found that she DID abuse her power.
even I, shannyn? Palin quit with no discernible reason, any news about her catches on as to comprehend what happened.
I thought the prosecutors were refusing to make a deal with Sherry. That sounds wrong to me considering all the drug arrests there must be. What kind of deal is Palin’s sister getting?
I wish Levi would say something.
GA Peach–you were great! your old boss gave good advice!
Agree with Shannyn on Lawrence O’Donnell.
Topic turns to Michelle Bachman ethics complaint– pointing out how AK phenomenon has spread–
Caller (kate) asks when she’ll be a guest on Countdown (in person)
Shannyn will meet with MSNBC when she’s in NY
Sarah Palin who? hahahahahaha
caller–Lazy Mountain Jim? Sorry, my phone rang–
Cool Hand Luke quote: what we have is a failure to communicate
knock knock
who’s there
Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin who?
Thank you..(drum roll)
also mentions new sales tax..altering property tax..sounds like gerryrigging..

~~~~~~~~~~~
It would be unwise for Levi and any family member to make public statements regarding his mother’s court case while it’s still in progress.
Thanks, CJPP. It feels so good to be a mudpuppy and realize that I’m part of a great group that can change things for the better. (Time for Kingston (R-GA) to retire.)
Talis (the slug IMO) Colberg vetoed this tax..sounds like trouble, right here in Eagle valley
Levi has been pretty careful about what he has said. Weird that he has turned out to be the one behaving more or less like a grownup.
Caller Paul–another smart listener–also comments on the bright glittery distraction this is to real issues..
We need to get back to the issues..
No, I was wanted Levi to say if Todd pulled a gun on him or not.
I love that mylord’s commercial…ha.
trevinca– I know. We all want to know, but we have to be patient. It will all come out in time…something about giving folks enough rope…
no one commented on my call to Shannyn, I called and asked her when she’ll be guest host on Olbermann’s show.
thats AKM, on the floral add?
personally, I prefer My God’s floral–as in growing in my garden.
caller asks if SM has read the gazillion pages of the health care bill…
says medicaid patients are not being seen in Dr. offices and must present at the ER
SM says coverage will not cover unensured until 2013
SM voted Dem for the healthcare issue, and is disappointed…

____________________
I took the puppy out to potty…I missed it!
SM refers to Dad’s sermon on faith, hope and charity her Dad disagreed with the greatest being “love”–he thought it to be “hope”.
she refernces the Christian value of caring for our sick…go, Shannyn!
zyggy, I didn’t know it was you!–I posted it (above) for you!
I loved your call about KO…ha!
I got a little shy about it…
xo!
Drink refill time…corona with lime..
Sorry, zyggy. I didn’t know that was you. But I am a fan of Olbermann and look forward to seeing her on his show.
Rumor has it, AKMuckraker – the real one – is in the chat!
Thanks, Snos
zyggy–that was you? Thanks for getting the info from her. Glad she’s gonna meet with KO personally and others @ MSNBC. KO takes a lot of vacations-needs show hosts. Has he ever had a woman host? Wonder if Rachel Maddow will be there also too.
Can’t chat, still waiting for confirmation email, it is taking some time.
OK, I need a potty break–be back in a few–
ah, don’t be shy, you’d knock them out out. You’d be dynamite, you’d slay them. =)
trevinca – it is usually pretty quick – I just sent a reminder for you, are you sure you put the right email address in?
faithful pup, I’m sure we’ll hear more about Shannyn’s visit to NYC, and looking forward to it.
Nice job, ziggy. I dreamed off on the Lawrence O’Donnell image
I do think Shannyn would do a great job hosting KO.
Have you checked your spam folder for the confirmation? I’ve had them end up there in the past.
checking out chat for a bit—
Hi, Ed! I agree with the need for a public health option. It is absolutely necessary. Shannyn is right on about the profit motive in keeping people sick.
i clicked the wrong email address, i am in the chat room now
WOW Go Shannyn. Kool-aid red and blue. To those who have lost faith in govt, it’s Our responsibility to maintain checks and balances on our govt. Speak out–call out the govt. Reps we have…tell them what you want.
Poor guy floundering with medical problems,sick daughter, making good points about ins. co. and fed govt. differences.
We’ve thrown our elderly away in this country, just like we’ve trashed our children.
Our gov’t, having been seduced by bucks, has infiltrated our daily lives with the wonder of pharmaceutical drugs, the marvel of plastic surgery, the ‘greatness’ of shell/exxon, cargill/monsanto, and the lie that we can cheat our passing on.
If corporations had known what the internet would mean to their bottom line, they would have paid ‘my’ government to shut it down and Jack Kingston would have voted for it.
ggrr. having to clear computer to get updated comments…
uhoh–she’s dealing with a red kool-aid guy and she’s lovin’it.
Every time I go to live chat, I can read for 2 minutes or so, then the screen goes black and it tells me my name is in us and I can’t reconnect!!! Help!
Do you have 2 screens open?
yeah, red kool-aid guy is trying to turn the tables…pointing the finger is their way of “reasoning?”
ask John if he’s had to pay premiums, deductibles before the ins kicks in, then the co-pays AND the 20% they have you pay, the ins usually pays 80% !!
john probably feels if you don’t have a job, you don’t get insurance.

you should find us.
This guy is not making sense to me. Shannyn is making sense to me, am I being thick here? Does he not walk in anyone elses shoes?
got get ‘em Shannyn, you’re explaining what our nation needs. Using you’re own example is great, and even better for being so open about it. It’s very personal, and nice that you are willing to open up like this in the name of national health care.
I like this guy. He is right on!

People forget the money spent on NASA stays here on Earth, it don’t go to the moon Alice. It is JOBS also too. I am for Nasa -great research. Hurricane watches,volcano watches are among them. Just sayin’
stuck again
OT…should’ve asked red kool-aid guy john if he’s seen what rock palin is hiding under since he’s from wasilla
and from the gryphen comment on todd pulling a gun…why weren’t charges pressed? is this so commonplace in wild wild west AK that the police don’t get involved?
writing reminder to self… never type “bend over” in the mudflats chat!
People with John’s beliefs on the health care system forget something very important. Insurance companies don’t work for free. In fact they work for a profit. About a 1/4 to 1/2 of the premium goes to the insurance companies. That’s how their sales people, customer service, medical staff and all others they hire, are paid.
Eliminate the insurance companies and this cost is eliminated. No sales people are needed to sell government insurance.
lol kraut, was that you who got bumped?
Yeah – you’ll get the gentle cotton bud right where the sun doesn’t shine if you do that, Sauerkraut!
I thought you were a troll.. lol
81-GA Peach~~~Mudpuppies are sooo classy..Not like some blogs .hmmm.
Good do on Shanyn radio show..
… tried to change my handle to The Dud in honor of… The Dud, but moderation won’t allow it!
Yeah, that was me responding to someone else’s comment about “bending over”!!
not gonna comment on the “gentle cotton”. …
It is immoral to make money off of people’s poor health. Health insurance should be non-profit. It most definitely should NOT be tied to employment. Everyone, regardless of previous conditions or need for costly life-saving treatment, should have health care. Republicans try to scare us by saying, “You want what Canada has?” I say, “YES!!!” I want what Canada, Sweden, Great Britain, and Norway have–health care for every citizen. My brother-in-law and his wife just emigrated to Canada for the health care there. I wonder how many other USA citizens have done so.
@Duke #131 Aetna has raised premiums 21% in order to cover losses in other companies (non-health-related) that the parent company owns. If you have Aetna, you are not only paying for your own health care, you are paying for Aetna’s poor business choices.
I am a licensed insurance agent, I sell private policies that compliment medicare. Every major ins co jumped into that market because there is a profit! If there hadn’t been, they would not have done it. These private policies are guarantee issue, no exclusion for pre-existing conditions (if you think 65+ year olds don’t have pre-existing conditions, you need to wake up) with a wide range of premiums. Some have co-pays, some don’t, some require networks, others don’t.
Clearly, the private industry can operate with the government backed policies.
The uninsured are being cared for in ERs and those costs are passed on to those with insurance. ERs are the most expensive form of care because people are much sicker when they go. Rather than wait, they could get cheaper preventative care.
One last item, the Iraq war could have funded our health care reformation many times over, rather than killing 100s of 1000s.

With respect specifically to the alleged pressure by Palin on the prosecutors, this is an issue worthy of a true/false comment from Levi. Also, he should address the allegations about The Dud pulling a firearm on him.
Sue–I agree with you about the Canada health care. We live there part time (NB) and I can also say they (Canadians) are getting sick and tired of hearing their health care system being trashed by certain politicos here in good ol’ US. The most popular hero in a recent poll of theirs is the guy who introduced their health system. I am sorry I don’t have his name or it would be mentioned. We live outside of a small town when in Can. and the local, up to date hospital is tops, plus there is Medivac service for risk patients that take occasional high-risk patients to the larger hosp. in Moncton. Lots of services for the elderly and child care. School support for special needs children is wonderful. I have autistic grandkids and we checked. As a side note-I have a dog with a bad genetic disease,guess what, the vet service is more up to date on his condition than here in a large city in Ma. Really great medical all around. (((
)))
Rachel Maddow started as a guest on KO’s show, then went on to be his frequent guest host & Bingo – her own show. Watch out for Shannyn on MSNBC. You go girl!
We’re full of it when we say we have the best health care in the world. I know of a man in the EU who had pancreatic cancer and lived 7 years, but worked with a woman who was taking care of her mom with pancreatic cancer. In this country, you are expected to live 6 months to a year.
Moore’s movie “Sicko” made me sick….when I saw what was available over in Europe with what I’ve had to deal with over the past 24 years…People there can retire at the age of 50 and not worry about medical coverage, enjoy life while they can still move relatively pain free.. we in the US keep having to put OUR Golden years back further and further…
#136 and #137
Sue
Agreed. Other countries can do it. We can too. We need the political will in Washington.
Changing the whole country at the same time might be biting off more than we can chew. Maybe we should change the health care system several states at a time. It’s a good way to get kinks worked out and give the insurance companies time to phase out.
People shouldn’t suffer without proper health care and spend their personal assets on health costs so insurance companies and stock holders can pile up profits.
It’s going to take a massive ground swell from the population to get it done….Obama can articulate it, but it will take CONGRESS to get it done…the fear of votors is going to be the only way to do it…and the Senate will be the most difficult to change, as they are on a 6 year term… take advantage of this month long break to make your Senator HEAR YOU !!
Been busy, been lurking, been loving you smart, witty people!
My sis lives in Canada. Visited here and threw her back out (don’t ask, it’s a family curse!) The ambulance, ER visit, meds – all reimbursed by Canada.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
I respectfully disagree with Levi making comments on his mother’s court case or any alleged prosecutor tampering. Why would Levi have any knowledge of Palin influencing his mother’s prosecutor? He might have heard something but the doesn’t establish proof. This matter should be investigated quickly because if it’s true, there are grounds for an appeal if not a dismissal.
I agree with Levi discussing Todd pulling a gun on him if that happened. Someone pulling a gun on somebody else happens more often than people realize. Nothing may come this. If Levi’s life was in danger he wouldn’t have been on the same stage with the Palins during the Republican convention and lived in their house before Trip’s birth last year.
HEY!!!! Here in NYC just getting ready to hit the hay at bubbles’ place in the city!!! MudstockNYC was a huge success… will be writing something up soon and plenty of pics to follow.
Shout out to Shannyn…. heh heh.. I called in…. go figure!!! I was one of the sober ones!!! LOL
faithfulpup,
His name is Tommy Douglas, Premier of Saskatchewan
Medicare started in his province, Saskatchewan in 1962. It was adopted under the federal government in 1966.
Piece of Useless Trivia: Tommy Douglas is the Grandfather of Kiefer Sutherland!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Douglas
faithfulpup, I’m guessing the small town in Canada is the key to your good fortune in medical care. My sister lives in North Vancouver and the medical sucks as do some (not all) of the hospitals(unclean and in need of upgrading everything). Basically, Canadian health care is a huge HMO. It seems that the more dense the population, the more poor the quality of medical care. It took a friend two years in the que to get the torn cartilage in his knee fixed. He lives on Vancouver Island. Another friend’s husband in White Rock had liver cancer. His estimated time in que for chemo was three months. Another one on the island (elderly) waited almost a year for an MRI and several months more for an operation for spinal stenosis which was crippling her. Knowing my sister’s problems and those of her friends in BC makes me want anything but what Canada has. I have heard that it is better in other provinces.
We also have two half brothers in Germany; one is a nurse and the other is married to a nurse. They aren’t too thrilled with their medical system either. So be careful what you wish for. First we need to throw the lobbyists off a cliff. Second, we need a not-for-profit government run system like the Veteren’s Admin. running a competing program against the for-profit insurance company. Third, we need the government to take over the pharmaceuticals or provide not-for-profit competition. The Canadians are running their pharmaceuticals exactly right. That would be worth emulating. I have heard that France has the best type of medical care. That would be worth looking into.

Proof?? Who in blazes is talking about “proof”? Assuming he and his mother talk, he might have some information or a point of view on the matter. If so, I see nothing inappropriate about him talking about it.
Yo Sauerkraut – you can come back, I took the pointy toes off
WakeUpAmerica,
I live in Toronto. My father had liver cancer – cheemo in two weeks. I’ve had 2 wrist surgeries on same wrist 2 years apart. Both non-life threatening. Both done within a month. Hospitals clean.
If you are referring to HMO’s in a way that our Family Dr. is the one who refers us to the specialist we need — yes the Dr. does. As to negotiating costs like HMO’s — no.
Each Province has their own healthcare. In Alberta, there is a two tier system where there is the government program and the private insurance tier. It is doctors from the private sector that are the majority that are appearing in the negative ads now playing in the US that are running down the healthcare system in Canada. Of course — they are the same as your insurance — they are in it for profit. Ontario has tried to bring in a two tier and to date the citizens have won — this is one where even I play on the NIMBY playground, which is totally rare!!
So what you relate is in the BC system, not everywhere. I’ve never read up on the BC program.
You can search for the Department of Health for a Province whether Ontario, BC, Alberta, to read up. I understand from some people in Quebec, they don’t like their’s but I’m not familiar with it. But like everyone else in the world — everybody has to yap about not likeing something!!
sauerkraut,
Proof?? Who in blazes is talking about “proof”? Assuming he and his mother talk, he might have some information or a point of view on the matter. If so, I see nothing inappropriate about him talking about it.
————-
Actually, it is inappropriate for him to talk about it — she has been sentenced or a deal hasn’t been negotiated so he should keep his mouth shut. For him to talk about — it’s only for people’s curiosity.
Michelle Baaaaaaaaachman – now there is one ditzy broad! Are her eyes on drugs?
Correction to my Comment #153 — She “hasn’t” been sentenced or a deal hasn’t been negotiatiated
BC system is great! We had 2 cancers and a heart problem with 3 family members all in the same month. Taken care of so fast, our heads spun. Now, if it’s a boob, nose, or lip job you want – you might have to wait a while. We’re priority-driven, not profit-driven, thank God.
faithfulpup – his name was Tommy Douglas. If it weren’t for his brilliant foresight, we would be in the same boat as you guys. Either uber-rich or hobo-broke.
I don’t know what all the fuss about health care reform is about.
I think my health care plan is just fine. It’s affordable (very). I get to choose my own doctor. Wait times are very reasonable. The care is excellent. If I get hurt or sick in a foreign country my plan will pick up the bill. Oh wait a minute, that’s right I’m a Candian..:)
.
*Canadian * …also too…:) Oops.
.
GGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!
,,,hhhmmm, Canada, the 51st state, and then I’ll move !! ( chortle !!)
Over our dead bodies – but with you having more weapons than the rest of the world combined, it would be a bit of an overkill!
yo faithfulpup, look me up on the forum and send this nb pup a pm. love to meet up.
dto Post 158 except that I am living in Europe. Love my healthcare here. We hear nightmare stories about visitors getting sick in the States and being landed with impossible bills and treatment. Gotta check before I go, if I have coverage for the States.
post 158 letters from Europe..
if you’re not covered, may I recommend you check “e-insurance” on the web,,,they have short term policies from various med ins companies that may be helpful…I’ve used them when in between jobs, and were MUCH cheaper than paying full Cobra payments..
