Ethicsgate! See the Shocking Video Alaska Bloggers Tried to Take Down!
OK, everyone. Buckle your seat belts. It’s time for a parable.
This one has to do with those (looks around to see who’s listening) crazy people that live up there in the hills next to our little virtual blog village. You know the ones. Every once in a while, one of them wanders through town, all disheveled and wide-eyed and muttering something about how the Ruler of the Land is illegitimate because he was actually born on some other planet, and how his alien socialist kin are going to take over the world, and turn us all into mindless drones, and how we’re all either too stupid to see the real truth, or we’re in cahoots with the aliens on the mother ship. THOSE guys.
Well, this tale involves not only THOSE guys, but also the village scribe. There are actually several scribes in our village. There’s generally a lot going on around here, considering how few people there are, and one scribe just wouldn’t be able to handle it all. We’ve referred to them in other stories as “pamphleteers.” So, these days, the rumors going on up in the hills are that the scribes are all in cahoots with the “mother ship.” (I know. I said they were crazy…just bear with me)
So our village scribes were supposedly involved in a fiendish plot to install our “alien leader” in his position of power by “taking down” the competition. And yes, the humble scribes are in on it, and their secret communication device of choice is….the toothbrush. Yup, those scribes are sitting up late at night, when everyone else has gone to bed talking into their toothbrushes and getting secret messages, and money transfers through these diabolical dental tools. So the hill people would have you believe. (I’m going for the “talking to aliens through your toothbrush” saying meant to indicate a woo woo crazy conspiracy theory kind of thing)
And furthermore, the hill people have proof, absolute PROOF that the scribes… know each other. I know what you’re thinking. This is a very small village. Everyone knows each other, and certainly if you’re a scribe and you live in a very small village, you’re probably going to know the other scribes. Yes, you’re right. I never promised that the crazy hill-people were wired properly above their shoulders.
The villagers just kind of roll their eyes, and when one of them comes down from the hills and wanders through town wearing an ”It’s All a Big Conspiracy” sandwich board, they all sort of smile and say good morning, and wait until after they’re out of earshot to start giggling. Now that you have a little background, we’ll begin our story.
So the other day, one of our pamphleteers gets home after a long hard day of scribbling, and notices that the door to the cottage is open. Strange… The scribe looks about, checking behind doors and in each room wondering what is going on. He remembers locking the door in the morning. A quick survey indicates that a photo album is missing. And later that evening, it will also become evident to the perplexed scribe as he readies himself for bed, that his toothbrush is gone. Puzzling about this strange turn of events, the scribe locks the door and goes to bed.
The next morning, one of his fellow scribes comes up the walk breathlessly, stopping with hands on knees and pants, “So, you’ll never believe this. I was walking in the hills before, and I came upon a bunch of the hill people … and they were all gathered around in a circle, and they had your photo album and your toothbrush of all things! They were talking about how all the scribes have toothbrushes that they use to talk to people, and that we all know each other, and that we all somehow plan on overthrowing the kingdom with the help of the Ruler of the Land and the mothership full of aliens….or that we already did. Or something.”
Now, at this point, you can imagine that our poor scribe is awfully confused. The absurdity of the alien story is quite amusing to say the least. But stealing photo albums and toothbrushes? That’s just a bit … how shall we say… over the top. So the scribes decide to head down to the local complaints office, to file a complaint. On the way, they see a little sign tacked to a tree. It’s a picture of one of the village scribes, and a local magistrate. “They speak through their toothbrushes!” the sign says. The scribe pulls it off the tree. “Hey, that’s my picture!” says the scribe. And further down the road, another one. “They are all ALIENS!” it says. “Hey, that’s one of the scribes giving bunny ears to the Mayor! Remember that? I love that picture!”
“Hey, didn’t you take that picture at the big village banquet last year?” says the one scribe to the other pulling down yet another sign. The scribes look down the road and notice that every tree is decorated with a little sign. “They walk among us!” “Hide your children!” “Down with scribes!” “The mother ship is coming!” and one that simply says “AAAAAAAA!”
“These hill people are really whacked,” says scribe #2. Scribe #1 agrees, as he pulls down paper after paper featuring his pictures from the missing photo album. They eventually reach town, and fill out the paperwork. “What do you think?” asks the scribe to the nice lady behind the desk. “Oh my. No, no…. They can’t do that,” she clucks. “We’ll have those signs taken down right away. Against the law, that is. So sorry.”
The scribes leave the complaints office to go enjoy a pot of ale in the local tavern. “Hey, didja see those signs everywhere today?” the tavernkeep asks. “Those hill people are NUTS,” says the sleepy guy in the corner. “That’s OK,” says the scribe. “We took down some signs and filled out a complaint form about the stolen stuff. They’ll probably just go back to their whole thing about how the Leader of the Land was born on another planet, or how the aliens are all going to come and take away our shovels and pitchforks.”
But, the next afternoon, the scribe hears a commotion outside and looks out the window of his humble cottage. There, across the street is a giant billboard that says “AHA!” The scribe has to rub his eyes a little to make sure he’s seeing what he’s seeing. After going outside to examine this strange new piece of artwork, a pamphlet was thrust into his hand. He opens it tentatively, still mesmerized by the giant picture of his own toothbrush next to the big “AHA!”
Pushing his spectacles down on his nose, he reads:
“We knew it! That evil scribe saw all of our signs telling about the aliens and the leader of the land, and about how he knows the other scribes and the town mayor, and how we can PROVE it. And now, he’s taken down OUR SIGNS. Yeah, we stole his stuff, but he can just stick it, that lousy scribe! Now, because he asked for the signs to be taken down, we KNOW we were right, because otherwise he’d have just left them there all over town. And on top of that, he even complained we stole his toothbrush! Boo hoo whiny scribe! And we all know that’s because now he can’t talk to his precious alien friends anymore….yeah….his ties to the mother ship are CUT, baby. CUT! We’ve showed him! And so now, we’re all going to go and put up big huge signs in our yards with pictures of toothbrushes and politicians and flying saucers and stuff, that tell people the TRUTH! We shall make dozens, no hundreds, no thousands of signs! We’ll do it day and night. Because that’s going to make those scribes look really really bad. And the whole village will see how obsessed and crazy the scribes are! So all we can say is… AHA! Suckers.”
“Are they serious?”
The scribe looks up from the paper to realize his friend, the other scribe has been reading over his shoulder.
“Apparently.”
“Wow. Those hill people are NUTS. They do realize what they are going to look like with giant alien-toothbrush billboards all over their lawns, don’t they?”
“Apparently not.” The scribe smiles and shakes his head, chuckling. “Wanna get a beer?”
And the scribes lived happily ever after, and the hill people….well, they’re just NUTS.
***************************************
And so ends our little tale. And as you can see, this story is indeed another Mudflats parable. For those of you who are interested in going a little further “into the hills” as it were, may I present to you the little video clip I like to call “The Toothbrush Billboard.” Let me warn you who are faint of heart, and not strong of stomach lining, that you will learn some ugly truths.
The Alaskan progressive bloggers? We know each other. Seriously. And not only that, we know Democratic organizers, and politicians. I know you’re shocked. Better you hear it from me… We even know progressive radio talk show hosts. Heck, there’s even an Alaskan blogger who IS a progressive radio talk show host! And there’s a blogger who’s married to someone who used to be involved with a political action committee! And one of those bloggers went to the Democratic Convention, and a talk radio host went to Obama’s inauguration! And there are bloggers who call in to radio programs, and write letters to the editor, and there are journalists who talk to people at rallies, and there are elected officials who get their pictures taken with constituents, and there is even one blogger who filed an ethics complaint against Sarah Palin! We all go to the same rallies and Democratic events. We run into each other in Costco and at the Bear Tooth Pizza Pub.
And there are even some Democrats in our state who work for…. the Obama administration! Apparently just because there are Republican Alaskans who worked for Republican Administrations, the Democrats think they can get away with it too. Imagine. And here’s the real clincher… there are bloggers who talk to people who filed ethics complaints. And sometimes people who filed ethics complaints talked to each other. And sometimes they call in to radio shows. And there are bloggers who talk to politicians! And they even get pictures taken with them at Democratic events, where actual Democrats tend to congregate!
But some of those who file ethics complaints or call in to radio shows aren’t at those Democratic events because, they are… not Democrats. Some of them go to Republican events, and some of them just stay home. And some of them talk to Democrats.
I’m sure I’ve forgotten some of these sordid connections, and I hope I haven’t blown your mind too much. Anyway, take all that, add some of that wacky Kenyan drum music, a bunch of stolen content, some misinformation and a few misspelled subtitles, and you got yourself a conspiracy!
Anyway, for those willing to “head for the hills,” get your popcorn and your extra thick tin foil hat. Behold! The video we bloggers don’t want you to see!
And for those of you who want to set the record straight, five of the images in the video are mine and were used without my permission.
And the woman in the feathery mask? Not me. But I do actually KNOW her! The plot thickens…
And I’ve never filed an ethics complaint.
And the president’s name is not spelled ”Brarack”
And now that we’ve cleared all that up, back to our regularly scheduled Sunday programming!
Scribes rule.
It is hilarious to me that these crazy people cannot even get their facts straight. Let me put it in the bold letters, to make it extra clear.
AKMuckraker has NEVER filed an ethics complaint against Sarah Palin.
Geez, crazy people.
Great parable though, AKM.
I suppose these crazy people do have a purpose after all – they provide entertainment and blog post fodder!
If you just add the facts and depth of information it is missing to the very same video, take out the written slides and it would be quite nice…. I´m glad I finally heard AKM! What a treat. I watched the whole thing and I just don´t get what is wrong with anything that was said by you or anybody for that matter. Obviously the vid is trying to use cut and paste (leave out the context, leave out the context) to manipulate the viewer. And the music was too nice. Follow Jon Stewarts advice use “Carmina Burana”….
Now off to read the parable.
Yikes, that was bad. I mean, like boring and unconvincing. It doesn’t say anything more (or in a better way) than some people have already said – the supposed Obama connections, the ‘scribe’ connections … blah blah and more blah.
Yeah, I was surprised to see certain photos used, ones that were obviously personal. Do we know who made this video? Do we know WHY? What did they think they were going to accomplish with that drek and why did they need to steal copyrighted images when they could have made the same (in)effective video without them?
The video doesn’t even make sense to me. If I knew nothing about any of this I would not even get the point they’re trying to make. These right wingers are obviously out of their ever loving minds. It gets worse evey day.
I sure hope those stories from Gryphan pan out or that will give them a huge anti-blogger fest.
Hitler on Palins resignation:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IzNPEGWNos&NR=1
Maybe Palin made it & that’s why she has been too busy to tweet? Haha!
What a great parabel. I just looooove it. I want to send it to all those sillies that are reposting the video. But really as it is your material, why not repost it with the facts in place? They guys you have taken down on youtube are just creating new accounts. I think it would be wise not to give them the satisfaction of chasing them around the tubes and so wasting your time. We´d rather you have time to post on the real and political issues. (I just wandered over to Lisa Murkowski twitter account and lo and behold it was all about POLITICS… I am impressed.)
Sorry, couldn’t watch much of it. Too disjointed, lacking in logic, and just plain weird.
And would someone please tell me: Why do palinistas hate spellcheck?
Tooth brush? I don’t get it.
“Talking to aliens through your toothbrush”. Classic metaphor for…NUTS in a woo woo conspiracy theory kind of way. AKM
@Paula – That Hitler thing is hilarious! I´m listening to the german and reading the subtitles. HAHAHA
(Gee, now I know why I didn´t watch the movie. This actor is really getting into it…Goosebumps)
Ooops, “parable”, talking about spellcheck. Some german slipped in there.
The video is bizarre.
lol….what a bunch of nothin’. Well, the upside is that you must doing something right. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have spent the time slopping together that disjointed mess. I agree with LettersfromEurope…Carmina Burana would have been much better.
Let’s see how long it takes Glenn Beck to air it on faux news, or Lou Dobbs.
Congrats AKM, you hit the big time
I think what strikes me as the most funny part of this whole situation, is that these people who are so absolutely obsessed with AKM, Shannyn & Diva, are in fact the exact same ones who shrilly screech about how sick it is to be obsessed with Palin.
These same people bellow “copyright” & “sue” when someone makes a parody of their twitter account.
These same people claim to be above personal attacks and whine about the personal nature of the attacks against Palin, yet on their own websites they take great delight in being foul, nasty & hateful in their attacks on AKM, Shannyn & Diva
They are in fact nothing more than hypocritical liars who can’t be bothered with honesty or truth.
Just when I think it has gotten as strange as it can get in AK, it gets stranger.
I’m sorry but it has to be said, WTFlaming hell is that all about? AKM please be careful. I do believe you are dealing with some seriously sick individuals.
nuckin’ futs.
I had simply assumed that as Alaska is not a densely populated state, that those of like mind would naturally come to know one another and run in the same social circles. Perhaps that’s too logical for these hill people?
I told one of these geniuses attempting to make this piece of crap go viral, look, some other SP minion is probably the one who wants it taken down because it makes you guys look even DUMBER than you already did (and who thought THAT was possible…)
I am dispatching a new, improved tooth brush as soon as the Post Office opens in the morning. Via flat rate of course. This new brush has the ability to receive signals from as far away as Alpha Centauri and also too has the new improved decoder ring attached to the handle. The color was chosen by the Supreme Scribe herself and is intended to highlight your third eye while in use. May the farce be with you and all the other Alaska Scribes in the pod.
Now that’s Video Salad!
Really hard to follow, maybe it “was” made with Palins help.
Ooooooh! The naked Emperor news has come up with such secrets! Now lets see if they can investigate how Sarah Palin opens up the Wasilla high school year book to pick appointments that aren’t qualified over highly qualified people?
Cronyism!
The connection between Sarah palin and a ultra conservative blog, who have started rumors such as “man hates Piper Palins lemonade stand” and the next week Sarah palin has a lemonade stand! HEH! Or points out that Letterman made a rude comment, and blew it up into a total Faux outrage and Palin followed suit. Or that this conservative blog gets pressors straight from megamouth & van flea. Or that the editor has been on a secret mission all last month in Alaska?
And that said Ed. of blog has pissed off some people on the blog that said her investigations were making Palin look bad.
I could go on and on….but why?
That is true cronyism. Sarah palin is but a Fly buzzing around PO. Annoying but certainly not a threat he would care about. That is so laughable in itself that the wasillahillbilly could be a threat.
If Naked Emperor NEWs would read “bloggers on the bus” he would find Obama campaign literally ignored the Alaskan bloggers.
But the Right doesn’t want to hear the truth. They want to spin tales of intrigue, a pitbull turned into a Chihuahua.
WATB! Facts, smacks! Were like Faux noise, we don’t report news we make up stuff!
Yes if they really wanted facts about XGINO…they would look behind the pretty face…
And stop makin’ things up!
And there are even some Democrats in our state who work for…. the Obama administration! Apparently just because there are Republican Alaskans who worked for Republican Administrations, the Democrats think they can get away with it too. Imagine.
I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!! (h/t Captain Renault)
You can also read about my diabolical attempts to protect my copyrighted material by filling out online forms at http://www.jeannedevon.com a brand new domain paid for and brought to you by the people who pal around with Sarah Palin. I’m sure she’s just thrilled they’re on her side.
Aww, mommy’s little helpers, ain’t they sweet. Will it ever occur to them they’re not really helping mommy?
I am so sorry you have to deal with this, AKM.
Your parable was WAY better than the boring video that laid out commonly known things and kept saying AHA! lol. There are two groups of people in this world that I am particularly puzzled by: vandals and conspiracy-theorists. I conclude that they were all dropped on their pointy heads when they were babies.
I agree with poster#13. Be careful, Palin and her crazy bots seem to feel like they are outing you and the other Democrats in Alaska who happen to be bloggers.
You and the other bloggers will get tons of hate mail, to be sure. I worry for you because, as evidenced at her campaign rallies, her followers are crazed and probably violent.
Good luck and BE CAREFUL!
Keep posting on Palin’s dirty tricks, continue to expose her. Alaskans and the rest of the country need to know how low she really is.
That’s my take on this video
It is indeed, creepy.

Make sure you get one of those older brushes with that little red nipple , picky thing on the end.

Austintex….the new improved communications brush has an ultrasonic vibrating nipple picky thing that not only cleans between the teeth but packages the resulting dreck and sends it in an envelope marked ‘contribution’ to a certain legal defence fund.

Oh I think I need one of those, can you ship via the mothership?
I was with you the whole way with your parable, but you lost me at “toothbrush”. I need a hint.
I added an explanatory sentence about “talking to aliens through your toothbrush.”
AKM
What was that? I liked the Shatner bongo and bass player better.
I’d be more annoyed about the domain name than the video.
Now I’m confused. For the next Mudstock, do we still wear name tags with yellow boots? Or do we pin a toothbrush to our shirts? =)
Crystalwolf….The mothership will be flying over your house at 0700 hours and will drop one into your roof orifice. It is self charging, every time a lie is told about AKM the brush stores 48 hours of power.
Let’s split up, the posse is gaining.
OK – This s^*t is too funny !! As per cali’s request to send a tooth brush via the mothership , I googled “alien toothbrush”. Do it and look what pops up.

Austin,
too funny! Must be a sign! (insert star trek music here)
Well my night shift on the mothership has come to a close and I must zip myself into the cryonics pod for my obligatory 8 doogles of sleep. I really wish I could beam up to Pittsburgh for the fun but sadly that is my weekend to pilot the ship again. As to the dress code, I suggest rubber cementing the toothbrushes to the top of your left boot so that it will be readily available for a quick group cleaning session.
pathetic! whoever made that should be embarrassed.
but this video sheds light on why these people love palin so much… they’re just like her. rambling and incoherent. their hero worship all makes sense now. “she’s one of us” all makes sense now.
http://www.clipart.com/fr/close-up?o=3790710
REAL evidence that THERE is!! a conspiracy – note that it includes a toothbrush, an alien, and OMG it’s in FRENCH!!!!!
D@^^n, I did not give clip art permission to use my photo! They must be hill people!

Nice !!!
Terrific parable, AKM.
OMG. The video really speaks for it’s creators – in ways they won’t even comprehend. How low-info do you have to be to proudly reveal to the world that, to you, commonly known information is not only newsworthy, but revelatory? And that you consider yourself to be oh-so-clever for “digging it up”?
I wonder if they know Lisa Murkowski was recently at the White House for a meeting w/ PO. (Sorry if I wasn’t supposed to disclose that.)
AND that’s one butt-awful website. It ignores nearly every aspect of effective web design: layout, readability, color coordination… pretty much as expected.
Imagine! that like-minded citizen/scribes might notice – and encourage others to notice there also too – that THE EMPRESS HAS NO CLOTHES! *gasp* The unmitigated GALL!
It is nuckin’ futs, creative spelling and all (at least two different ways of spelling “coincidentally” and “coincidently” for instance).
I guess nobody told them that reading one thing and hearing another just doesn’t work. The human brain cannot work that way; it’s like trying to inhale while swallowing. It ain’t happenin’.
As for making sense, good grief. It’s too early in the morning and I haven’t even had my morning caffeine yet.

Ya got that right Austin…ya cross into rightwingnut territory and there you are in the “twilight zone”!
P.S.
from the “Captain’s log:
All this talk about the mothership is making the pilot nervous; who the heck forgot to turn on the cloaking device this time?!
Wow AKM-
I gotta hand it to you… For us in the lower 48 it’s interesting and riveting- but it doesn’t really affect our (at least my- speaking for myself) life/lives.
They pumped out what appeared to be “Fugitive Wanted” posters of you guys like a slot machine spitting out quarters. Surprised they didn’t have a Hitler speech in the back ground along with a black & white grainy video of the Hindenberg crashing (with you guys painted as the sabateurs).
Just dumbfounded really. I admire the courage and tenacity. No lipstick required!!!
OH, AKM…..I don’t know what to say.
The level of the attacks only tells me that you all are doing and have done some very important work.
Troopergate was started before SP was “tapped” for R VP candidate and Republicans have disliked her more than Democrats in Alaska, until after the campaign (as far as I understand it from the lower 48). Her biggest critic in terms of ethics complaints has been Andree, who is a Republican.
But…play that funky Kenyan Music (see, I thought that was meant to evoke her Witchdoctor Pastor— like they were drumming out all of the witches in town, which explained why Sarah Palin quit….) — and we’ll all pretend that this entire Hate Fest by the Birthers/Sarah Fans is not about…
race.
And their bitter, bitter anger that they lost to a person who is not all white.
I’ve been reading Team SArah and C4P’s comments on IM, and they come right out and bring up the “Kenyan” and then usually add a few words I won’t repeat.
Sadly, when you are dealing with the bottom dredges of society, this is what you get.
Stay safe, because these are the people the homeland security report warned us all about. And no, I’m not going to apologize for saying that. It is the truth.
What a weird start to a Sunday morning!
First, being familiar with some of the video’s pretended content–it makes no rational sense…it’s like saying “today is Sunday” and then hearing ominous musical overtones, portents of doom, and seeing alien spaceships clouding the sky. What?
What are they saying?
I’m with ds55–that location is creepy and a little too obsessed for me.
Looks like we now know the reason for the resignation: full time devotion do getting even.
Can someone PLEASE explain that this is not about getting to choose first for the team, it’s not about getting to be the first in line for recess and it’s not about getting on the teeter-totter first…this is about the right to make decisions about peoples’ lives, their security and their best interests.
It just gets stranger & stranger. I guess you Alaskan bloggers are nothing but a bunch of commie pinkos. I have to assume that is the message. Do you pass covert info amongst yourselves by talking into your toothbrushes. Visions of Get Smart are running through my mind. Why not use shoes instead. Just when Sarah leaves the stage to give us a needed break an entire group of other crazies takes over.
Paula….love the video…tried to send to daughter but had difficulty.
Just adding a link so that we can all refresh our minds as to who exactly we are dealing with here:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/06/mccain-does-nothing-as-cr_n_132366.html
“eteran Republican Congressman Ray LaHood criticized his party’s vice presidential nominee Friday, saying that Sarah Palin’s vitriolic campaign rallies “”don’t befit the office she’s running for.”
Rep. LaHood, who has represented Illinois’ 18th district for seven terms and is retiring in January, told WBBM Radio that Palin should control the racially-charged heckling at her rallies:
“Look it. This doesn’t befit the office that she’s running for. And frankly, people don’t like it.”
Some of the names Obama is being called, which include “terrorist” and “traitor,” “certainly don’t reflect the nature of the man,” LaHood said to WBBM.
LaHood supports John McCain’s candidacy, but warned that the heckling could backfire on the Republican ticket.”
http://www.videosift.com/video/John-McCain-Sarah-Palin-Incite-Hate-Speech-at-Rallies
And if you haven’t seen “the Right feeling Wronged” yet, you can watch it on Youtube– all 5 sections. I highly recommend it, so you can see just how entitled these Sarah folks thought they were to win. See, God chose them. Her. So, the rest of us are the anti-christ. It’s really quite mind-blowing. Of course, these are the same folks who talk about riding a white horse into heaven…

Speaks volumes to me..:)

I too am shocked to find out that people with the same political views actually know each other. Shocked I tell you.

Those people are scary! Can we raise some money for a home security device? Also, maybe, too, I might have the same I.Q, has the hill people because I googled alien toothbrush and STILL don’t get it. Someone help me, please.
Can someone please explain the toothbrush? You all seem to know what it means. I don’t get it.
lol…well, I made myself watch the entire thing. WTH??? All I can say is that this video only hurts Palin…and it hurts Conservatives in general. It’s too bad really…cause there are some really smart Conservatives out there, and I am sure they are embarrassed by this entire thing. What a hoot. I cannot wait for Wonkette to get hold of this one.

Ok- Here ya go….
the toothbrush is an instrument consisting of a small brush on a handle used to clean teeth through tooth brushing. Toothpaste, often containing fluoride, is commonly added to a toothbrush to aid in cleaning. Toothbrushes are offered with varying textures of bristles, and come in many different sizes and forms. Most dentists recommend using a toothbrush labelled “soft”, since firmer bristled toothbrushes can damage tooth enamel and irritate gums as indicated by the American Dental Association.[1] Toothbrushes are often made from synthetic fibers, although natural toothbrushes are also known in many parts of the world.
LOL It was OT but couldn’t resist.
mocha –
The toothbrush was in the picture and we all just kinda ran with some crazy stuff………..please do google “alien toothbrush”……….can’t explain that , but THERE it is…………………
mocha–
I think it’s just a metaphor. Could have been a rock or a slice of pizza or anything else equally absurd.
If there’s a subtext, I may hace forgotten what it might be…
Could not get past greta.
Can’t stand her voice either. That would be a show from hell, the greta and Sarah show.
The website was weird, why are there pictures of regan when the website appears to be about palin?
And isn’t it fitting that the lady-who- didn’t- have- big- girl- pants- too pull up and get on with it instead of quitting is not even going to speak at the regan library?
What strange and deranged people. They really really are crazy.
Couldn’t get thru it…not because I was offended, but because it is so pedestrian and poorly done, and what’s with the 1996 graphics going on behind the text?
I lift my toothbrush in solidarity, though
RE: the video: And..their point is…what? No, I’m not asking a question, I am being facetious.
I did google it, still don’t get it. When I googled under news, the first two links I got direct right back to here. When I hit images, I didn’t get anything that rings a bell. I did see a cool Dr. Who light up toothbrush I am thinking about purchasing for my son…
Can someone explain the toothbrush to me !?
Really I don’t get it.
(Too much fun at Mudstock?)
And how is this video supposed to help the pro-Palin cause?
Yikes…when the river bed is near empty, seems like all the scum at the bottom is exposed. Guess this is what’s left of the Republican party…all the wingnuts, who just can’t cope with the fact that Sarah Palin was possibly the worst choice McCain could have made as his running mate, and an even worse governor.
so glad my coffee cup was empty when saw that..hhhmmm..Do ya think they went to the same School of Journalism that Sarah did ? The similarities of word salad and video salad are just too darn close !! But enjoyed seeing SM in it,she certainly lights up when she smiles !

In the Parable, apparently the goofy hill people guys think that all the “scribes” in the village are talking to each other through some spiffy magical means – gee, it must be their toothbrushes! (according to the hill guys, anyway)
Yeah, I missed the critical sentence myself, trying to read it too quickly. But it’s at the end of the 1st paragraph about the toothbrushes, where it says “…or so the hill people would have you believe.”
I guess the toothbrush is insider stuff. Thanks anyway. *shrugs*
I’ve said it before: Some people haven’t been taking their antipsychotic medication.
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I betcha SM was signaling that it was time for a mothership to drop off new toothbrushes when she did the rabbit ears, right?
Good grief.
When is the next toothbrush delivery from the mothership??? I want a pink one with Winnie the Pooh!!!
Interesting website in your name AKM!
Did you notice the email address at the bottom?

I just posted this, but it disappeared. I wasn’t very clear in that so-called explanation, I’m sorry (working on caffeine levels now).
Not counting the 1st “set-up” sentence, go to the third paragraph and read that. You gotta re read that for the last sentence in that paragraph to make sense. That’s where AKM sez that it’s “what the hill people would have us believe.”
Nan
the confuzzled
AGH. This makes me so mad!
AKM, Shannyn and CD, this is such poorly mad stuff–like their weird Macbeth attempt. We have seen, over at Immoral Minority this weekend, that the education level of a Palin fan is “low information” at best. If smart folks can’t sit through this thing and make sense of it (the Christian smear video), then how could a low information voter get anything from it?
This is how they try to blame Pres. Obama for Palin’s governing woes, and it’s insane.
Will there be legal recourse against the makers of the video? I think we can all guess who made it.
You all need to upgrade to the electric toothbrush. It plugs into the wall, and we can send messages via the electricity toobz! It’s insidious. It’s brilliant. It’s also the best darn toothbrush ever invented. Seriously, my teeth have improved so much since I started using it (and my gums). The best part? George Soros can wire me my monies straight to my teeth!
P.S. For anyone wondering about the toothbrush thing, apparently, the crazy people actually believe this is how the conspiricists communicate.
P.P.S. AKM, I loved the parable, but I couldn’t stomach more than fifteen seconds of the BORING video. As the village burlesque queen/performance artist, I bet I could make a better video any day!
AKM, I watched that yesterday and got a good laugh. Love how they joined all of you together with Pres Obama being the ring leader. =)
So because you’re a democart, you’re on the payroll. lol I’m thinking every democrat in Alaska should start blogging so they too can be on the gov’t payroll. Let’s not stop there, all democrats in the United States can start blogging and Pres Obama can pay them too.
BTW, the video made no sense at all, them hill folks need to get out more. =)
Wackadoodles. lol
OT. AKM, you really should write some children’s books. (If you haven’t already). You’re right up there with Esop/Grimms/Hans Christian Anderson. I’m serious!

________________________
If you read AKM’s parable, you’ll notice that she is trying to say that the folks making this video are attempting to suggest that there is some big secret communication network going on among the Alaskan bloggers and the Democrats…. In AKM’s parable, that secret communication device is the “toothbrush”.
On the whole, it is a rather boring video that doesn’t make a lot of sense. There are democrats in Alaska, and they know one another. This is supposed to be unusual?? The images they use show perfectly ordinary people, talking to one another in a cheerful tone.
I googled “toothbrush parables” and got this very same Mudflats article.
Okay…I tired to make it all the way through and couldn’t do it either. Not because I was offended or disagreed with it, but because it was so poorly done. I mean I love the RNC commercial that health care reform is going to kill old people by giving babies abortions. Now that one’s hilarious. Maybe if they would have cut it from 10 plus minutes down to 30 seconds? You have to admit, though, there is some pretty good investigative reporting going on there! I mean they were able to tell who knew who in this great big conspiracy by just watching tv shows and listening to radio broadcasts where the people said they knew each other. Wow! I wish MSM would do as good a job! And I love the jungle music in the background…I guess that’s going to be the official Republican soundtrack for the the rest of the Obama administration, huh? Finally, I also too was intrigued by the Total Net Guard ad at the beginning…in fact, I thought maybe the whole thing was a spoof at that point so the first thing I did was stop the video and go check it out:
“The TotalNetGuard internet protection software suite of services protects your entire family with a Christian perspective and that makes all the difference in this world and the next!” The graphic on their home page looks like the little girl just caught daddy accessing his favorite adult entertainment site…I hate it when that happens!
As for the toothbrushes, I can’t figure that one out either…maybe they’re proposing some DNA testing? Well, turnabout’s fair play…can somebody from Wasilla snag the lid off of Trig’s tippy cup?
The poo of CRAP.
What twaddle.
So some Democrats in a small state know each other? This comes as a surprise to whom? Do the republicans in AK all live on islands and NOT know each other? During a heated political campaign is it not SOP to coordinate with members of your own party in ALL states? Especially current or past politicians from the state? Especially the state where one of the people on the opposition ticket is currently the govenor?
Are ALL Palin supporters such strangers to logic, reasoning, and . . . .well . . . the truth? Wait – I think I just answered my own question.

I’d be more annoyed about the domain name than the video.
AND that’s one butt-awful web site. It ignores nearly every aspect of effective web design: layout, readability, color coordination…. pretty much as expected from amateurs.
Imagine! that like-minded citizen/scribes might notice – and encourage others to notice there also too – that THE EMPRESS HAS NO CLOTHES. *gasp* The unmitigated GALL!
They think it is “suspicious” that Alaskan bloggers, all based in Anchorage know and talk to each other – and being heavily interested and involved in politics, know and talk to some Democratic politicians.
I’d only think it was strange if they didn’t. They want to believe that this is some type of “coordinated effort” run out of Chicago and Washington DC.
LOL.
You are getting under their skin, and have been for some time now. You’ve dropped a house on their queen (only her little naughty monkeys are left sticking out) and now they’re lashing out.
As the boxing referee says “protect yourself at all times”. Don’t expect “fair play” from that crowd.
So its a communication device in the parable. and in reality what are they saying it is?
Cell phones? INTERNET? hand signals ? secret handshake? esp?
Alien technology?
Is it crazy because its about crazy conspiracy theorists?
Argh… I feel cheated. The video is no longer on You-Tube. The message says that it was removed by “the Alaskan bloggers featured in this video”. I’m wondering if that isn’t a red herring and that they took it down themselves because they realized how badly done it was and how it was making them look foolish. Anyway, I really wanted to see it. Darn….
I’ve seen similar evidence of conspiracy with some people I know in a band. It’s amazing how often it is that when one band member calls another one, they will happen to meet up at the same location.
And that’s when it really gets interesting. They play their gig and get paid!
sheesh
Great parable,
“Every once in a while, one of them wanders through town, all disheveled and wide-eyed and muttering something…..”
LOL…….I have seen them. They are desperate for a tweet.

Please send me a new toothbrush communicator. My grandson accidently used mine to clean the mud off of one of his toy cars. I am at a loss as to what my next assignment should be and also, too, whether or not I should laugh or cry at this video. All will be lost without your supreme guidance. Thank you in advance.
what a bunch of jerks. these people are too stupid to live. if you elect me to the presidency of the u.s.a. i promise to have them all deported to afganistan to be used as roadside bomb sniffers. this way they can be of some use to humanity.
I think the toothbrushes are about getting secret transmissions through your fillings. Can be prevented with either good oral hygiene or the donning of a huge tinfoil helmet.
morning austin and everybody. we need to start a legal defense fund for mudflats. ask mr. rex butler to represent Our Scribe in case of need. that will settle them down…bubs
As far as I was able to stand the slow download (must have been the Christian web filter at work), the CPers showed us a bunch of “conspiratorial bloggers” saying sensible things such as “I’m in favor of the constitution” and “I don’t believe the Rapture is an environmental policy” and “Hi!” … a good 50 to 99% of the content undercuts their message. Love the scary radio waves.
Whoever said the viedo has been pulled, I just tried it again and it still works for me (unfortunately).
Just wondering if their “TotalNet Protect Gaurd Christian Filter” blocks out videos of The O’Reilly Factor? Cable T.V.’s number one source of soft p*rn at 5:00pm Pacific..

A few days ago when I was paddling around the Sea of Pee they were all excited about this video–they thought it was just incredible and wonderful and they were going to link to it everywhere. So I watched it and went, Huh? This is the stupidest, most boring thing I’ve ever seen. I hate to admit it never occurred to me that they had lifted all those still shots without permission. It probably never occurred to them, either–they seem to have confused bloggers with journalists.
Between this and the comments Gryphen has been getting, I think I finally understand Sarah’s appeal: to those who aren’t paying attention, she’s pretty and feisty and hits all the right refrigerator magnets. For those followers who ARE paying attention, she appeals because they’re right when they say, “She’s just like us!” i.e., ignorant and mentally imbalanced.
Great parable, AKM! Now that’s something we can sink our mind-teeth into.
You are right problem child. I received my tooth brush but couldn’t get through, they later on told me to change the tooth paste. Now, when I bite the mouse and hold for a second, the connection is amazing.
When I travel, I use the brush with the Blue Tooth chip.
See, the problem with the hill people is that they are talking to their toothbrushes instead of using them to brush their teeth. So they are only getting garbled transmissions.
BUBBLES FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
OMG, you’re saying its the toothpaste that gets us in contact with others? darn, I just wrecked my battery powered toothbrush for nothing. I took it apart and will never be able put back together.
I was talking with some guy who claimed to be from a planet in a far far away galaxy, but the connection was so bad, didnt know it was because of the toothpaste.
Before I lost connection, I did hear him say, “Tell Palin to quit makin up stuff.”
I didn’t get past Pete Rouse having “Deep Roots in Alaska.” They make Alaska sound like a subversive state.
Last fall on NPR I heard about a study that showed that when people were given evidence that disproved something they had believed – liberals said “hmm, guess I was wrong,” and conservatives clinged ever more dearly to what they believed. Sigh. Haven’t been able to find the survey, but I did find this reference to it at Reddit:
http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/92xdg/is_it_not_only_pointless_but_counterproductive_to/
Apparently my dentist is the new super duper leader here in NY. He told me to throw out my old toothbrush and gave me a new really awesome pretty one that “works’ much better. The infiltration of the lower 48 has begun.

Oh my. I am speechless after watching this video. And someone made a website with AKM’s real name? We want truth, not low life games.
Love this bit in a Politico article about Palin beating the media to the story:
By having her spokeswoman repeat the charges to rebut them in a public form, Palin effectively guaranteed coverage from the mainstream media that otherwise would not report claims attributed to unnamed sources on an anonymous blog.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0809/25689.html
Golly gosh, I didn’t know y’all were so well connected, BFs with Brarrack and all them politicians. You want we pups should ask him to give y’all a raise?
Actually, what I got from this was a good feeling of how far progressives have come in networking, effective use of the internet and media, and mutual loyalty.
And, how deluded the right is. They can’t believe in a spontaneously smart grassroots- gotta be a plot!
This whole thing will be as counterproductive as a Palin tweet.
Talk thru my toothbrush all the time. Works like a microphone. Just need the volume button to work better. (lol)
Hey Mudflats, next time you get on your toothbrush to talk to Barak, tell him I’m disappointed in his choice of beers.
If Alaskan bloggers had been up and running a decade ago a crucial election would not have been stolen, and the world would be in much better shape than it is today. I hope you all stay safe. These people appear to be as ruthless as Cheny.
OT- But something refreshing after watching the above video. Some get well tonic for you, so to speak. If you haven’t read it yet- Tank, Rex, and Levi are interviewed by Julia O’Malley. I needed something positive before moving on in my day. The Palin wingnuts are way to toxic.

‘Cause we all know that the rebublicans have NEVER met each other, NEVER get together and don’t EVER talk to each other. (Hmmm, now that I think about it, maybe that’s why the party is shrinking down to a small group of wingnuts that hear voices through their fillings!)
Hey pups, my toothbrush crashed this morning and I’m expecting some important messages. Anybody know how to reboot it???
Here is a link to Van Fleins “Cease and Desist” letter to Gryphon regarding the big “D” insinuating article.

This guy sounds so unprofessional that it is hard to believe he truly is a lawyer.
Unfrickin’ believable. Lather, rinse, repeat. What an icky site that is!
I’m pissed. I just went to the bathroom and we have six toothbrushes in there. I was not able to pick up the special signals telling me when/where/how I’m supposed to go about taking Palin down. Really I was just excited to hear Obama. But all SIX failed. I know I don’t comment a lot but really why are my toothbrushes left out of the loop?
i live in a state with a small population and i can probably name the dozen or so people that shake things up politically. seriously. alaska has about 600,000 citizens? my state has 5 times that and it is STILL small enough to know the movers and shakers…
so i shake my head in amazement of how little the pee’er fans actually understand the place where their quitty leader lives. i assume most of them also live in small towns eh? maybe they think alaska is big and has loads of people? seems like the electoral college designation would kinda be a sign.
so i shake my head again thinking the pee’ers aren’t really savvy politicos and think that actually coordinating and communicating with like-minded individuals is bad? how in the heckfire do they think people get elected? by accident? (oh, see this may explain things)
btw – love the “rapture isn’t good environmnetal policy” – that has to be printed on a t-shirt ASAP…..pretty please
OT – palin’s poetry was part of wait wait don’t tell me on NPR this morning. one of the panel people said it sounded like a narration of an acid trip. ha!
and i agree with someone up above that said you can’t read one thing and hear something completely different and understand the point…….should be a video editor’s credo or something.
also, aparently toothbrushes don’t decipher crazy.
ps – hugs to the alaskan bloggers who obviously have their act together and are proGRESSing truth and transparency under unbelievably insane circumstances.
Think of the money we will all save on phone bills & such flexibility the tootbrush has also, too.
To the Editor:
As a rule, I hate those cutesy parable type stories, mainly because I never get the point of the parable. But after watching that video, I have three reactions.
First, I wonder what is the target audience for the video. The only people who will find it even remotely persuasive are going to be the people who think Alaska has spent “millions” of dollars on ethics investigations, and are wholly untroubled by the fact that the actual number is $400,000 (and half of that being Private Citizen Palin’s own requested investigation re Troopergate). Anyone else will think “Naked Emperor News” are just some middle aged folks with too much time on their hands and too little a/v skills.
Which brings me to my second point: this video just stinks. On The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Lewis Black had a hilarious commentary, mocking key federal politicians’ use of YouTube. Lewis contrasted the hokey, amateurish productions of the House and Senate leadership of both parties, with a polished and impressive “news” broadcast re what was happening at a local junior high school. My point is, pick any three fifteen year olds and hand them a Mac, and they’ll not only do a better job stylistically–but they’ll make a video that actually makes sense, content-wise.
Finally, I wonder why anyone would be surprised that the people “featured” in the video know each other. I have never been to Alaska, but I live in Oregon. While Oregon is bigger than Alaska (in terms of population), we’re still a long way from the center ring. Consequently, it’s not a stretch to think that everyone in Oregon knows everyone else. If someone were to put out a video, accusing a group of like-minded Oregonians of all knowing each other, a typical reaction would be “Well, of course they know each other–I know all those people too…..” I can’t believe Alaska would be any different–given that the state’s total population is less than San Francisco. But then again, according to the Hays Poll, four people out of 400 Alaskans had not heard of Private Citizen Palin in July 2008, and five out of 400 had not heard of her in July 2009 (they have to have been faking).
My point is though, I can’t imagine the “Naked Emperor News” people are actually connected to Private Citizen Palin: their work is just too crappy. I think the Naked people are Alaska’s answer to the Birthers, and they are talking to each other.
All that said, can I get a copy of the snap of Ms. Moore making devil horns in the back of Mark Begich’s head? (Was that Senator Begich? I couldn’t tell–both from the poor production quality, and because I was laughing so hard).
I remain:
In awe at the wonder of it all.

PS I am going to circulate the rumour that Ms. Devon is teaching Alaskan kids how to short-sheet beds, all in an effort to disrupt family life and encourage the sovietization of Alaskan society–which is exactly the kind of rumour mongering that middle aged people with too much time & too little a/v skills should be doing.
@Teutonic, thanks for the link. It’s clear that Sarah Palin will never be able to sue any bloggers, nor the Huffington Post, nor MSNBC, nor any of the people her flakey attorney threatens.
They have played the “fear” card one too many times. They are a joke.
If they were serious, they would have sued the National Enquirer 11 months ago.
The babysitter was heard saying ” stop blogging, stop blogging now” ……..I guess she ran out of toothpaste before she realized it wasn’t Gryphen at the other toothbrush.
Loved the parable. For shame to all those crazy hypocrisy ridden hill people. They are just jealous because AKM and the other AK progressive bloggers are beautiful and they’re not
I too, googled alien toothbrush and 2 links to Mudflats are there. Couple of really funny sites also, too. Tried (yes indeedy tried is the word) to watch the video. Got far enough to get really angry. Going now to make a donation to AKMudflats so she can keep up the good fight.
Maybe I will check my toothbrush for the communicator device that has to be there. Its a Democratic toothbrush after all. It brushes all the teeth equally and tries so hard not to offend or hurt any one of them.
It was a pathetic attempt to copy Zieglers pathetic so called documentary. There were no clear conclusions or talking points a “follower” could understand. It doesn’t take much to get the pee peers all a tizzy though.
It obvious that while some of us communicate with tooth brush and tooth paste others seem to be ‘brushing’ with Preparation ‘H’..:)
.
They left out the most obvious connection: Obama, Knowles, Elton, Begich, Moore, Conte, Kellen-Biegel, and you (yes, you) all speak and write in ENGLISH!!! This could not be a mere coincidence, could it???
Everyone: The Palin$tas have decided that not only do us progressive, blogging, commenting types all know each other but we also have toothbrushes in common, hence that must be our means of communication. You really need to understand that the hill people do not have toothbrushes, they use chewed sticks like the dinosaur wranglers taught their ancestors. The fact that we progressive types use our fancy communicators makes us unbelievers as well as threats to the natural order. Everyone who lives on the hills knows that. Note to all who are having problems with their communicators: The mother ship is now broadcasting on frequency 3.14159265 apple.
WTF?
Can we please re-route the crazy train? Can’t I like, call the mother-ship on my SONICARE and have them zapped with a reverse stupid ray?
Shows how they only have the ability to work within one tiny compartment of their mind at a time as this was totally disjointed and confusing. That being said, their method of working means they miss huge areas of information as I note that a segment totally missed by them for providing information:

I just thought the vid was full of beautiful people from Alaska and the slides in between just stated that they know each other. Ehm, is that the scandal? I loved hearing Shannyn and CC and AKM talking sense and their laughter was beautiful too.
What does Brian´s tootbrush look like? We all want one of those now. Mudflats Brian Toothbrushes.
I think we should all have a day, week or month of Sarah Sue me because?
The people that made this video are probably the same ones attacking President Obama about his place of birth.

Thank for the link teutonic, I hadn’t read it yet Holy Intimidation, Batman! What on earth was the kindergarten reference? Whatever it meant, it sounded uber-unprofessional.
If I were Gryphon, I would post a retraction and apology – something along the lines of “I apologize for misleading everyone. The Palin’s are not “about” to get a “divorce”, Mrs. Palin is not “buying” property in Montana, she did not “throw” away her ring, Todd did not “pull” a gun, of course the two did speak to each other at least once on Sunday, July 26th, and Mrs. Palin did not “pressure” the “prosecutors” of the Sherry Johnston case.
Please replace ‘about’ with ‘may in the future’, ‘divorce’ with ‘separation’, ‘buying’ with ‘being given’, ‘throw’ with ‘drop-kicked’, ‘pull’ with ‘already unconcealed’, ‘pressure’ with ‘friendly phone calls from staffers’ and ‘prosecutors’ with ‘prosecutors’ secretaries’.
(or whatever is the real equivalent)
I honestly don’t know what to say, and speechless is definitely not a condition that I find myself in very frequently…..
lemonfair – SP wants to make sure she is still in the news. Being out of the limelight is just too hard for her. As for the video, I couldn’t watch it all the way through. Too stupid for words.
This video, among other scurrilous, conspiratorial types, was “produced” by Heritage New Media Partners, Inc. According to Sourchwatch, they are linked to Fox News, World Nut Daily (sic), and of course, the Heritage Foundation, which ought to go ahead and call itself “The White Heritage Foundation” because while being under the guise of “conservative intellectualism”, those dressed up suits over there (remember Billy Kristol and his love of Palin?) are nothing better than those poor & working class KKK members.
CSPIN has someone from Heritage over to hold forth 2 or 3 times a week, minimum. These frauds are as much a part of the establishment as the RNC, but think they can hide their pure racist & reactionary ideals under the cloak of respectability.
Disgusting. I think I’d see a lawyer. Fight ‘em in the pocketbook. But, that’s just me. NMA.TV already brags about taking the video down from one blog for “copyright infringement” yet feel no compunction about using the images of private citizens without authorization and slandering them with scurrilous “conspiracy theories.”
I have a water pik, will that work?

sue ‘em I meant!…not me!
I watched the whole video, and really can’t see how it even BEGINS to make a valid case for the conspiracy theories of the Palinbots. All the points seem really hollow. If anything, it would only appear to draw attention to many of the ethics problems that the Palin supporters don’t normally hear about. And all the connections are such a stretch – don’t they realize that this is such a small state, and people have connections everywhere? I live in the Valley, and have known Sarah Palin for 16 years. I coached one of her kids. By their (conspiratorial) thinking, that would put me “on her team”. Nothing could be further from the truth. I went to a Les Gara fundraiser once, years ago. Will I be getting a check for all the anti-Sarah blogging over the past year?
When, oh when, is Michael Moore going to make the movie that will finally put the whole truth about the Palin debacle in one big package?
First off, I just want to say that I take off one day, one day!, to rendezvous and debrief with the north eastern pod; refueling on sangria and shellfish, occasionally chanting ‘All Hail The Big Giant Head!’ and forcing unsuspecting passers-by to pose for photos with a certain regal ungulate.

You know the people have the intelligence of worms but it still is too bad you have to deal with it. It’s kind off odd they picked you given you have been careful about never writing about babygate or the kids and more.
The true ignorance and 2nd grade intelligence level is shown in all it’s glory on that site as well as in the comments on Gryphens blog there.
Sorry you have to deal with this. They truly look insane if that helps at all!
Alright…I like my secret agent name…Sasnak! Also, too…can I be a double-naught spy? Please-o, please-o, pretty please!!!!
Can we all get some Mudflats toothbrushes please. Mines not working.
Seems like a lot of behind the scenes stuff for 3 electorial votes
#147 mo
Quite right, i myself have already brushed my teeth twice today hoping for word from the mothership…no word yet, but my teeth look beautiful.
Wow just wow.
A message just came through from the Cee4Pee’ers. They want to know where their tinfoil is. If they don’t find it, they’re going to make another video showing how Rahm Emanuel is paying Mudflatters, et al to hoard it all.
Gotta go. My toothbrush is beeping.
As we continue drifting into the stratosphere of Crazy Land:
The malicious web site’s owner has a new YouTube channel. And this is what he lists as his occupation:
—
CHILDRENS BOOK ILLUSTRATOR
Companies:COMING SOON STINKY GOVERNMENT CHEESE A PRO LIBERTY CHILDRENS BOOK
—
As AKM would say, you can’t make this stuff up.
And I started guffawing at the ChristianNet Security splash page on the video. But I want to say to the Christian Mudflatters that I’m sorry. Your spiritual path should not be (wrongly) associated in any way with the toxic stupidity of this video.
Sorry about the typo, it should read AronRa.com, – my bad.
AKM, thanks for the parable, now I understand the video.
Their point is that they don’t brush their teeth which explains all the nastiness that comes out of their mouths (o:
Seriously, that is the stupidest thing I have seen and doesn’t make any sense. I am sorry that these idiots are violating your rights and harassing you. XXXXOOOO
I just got this:
For immediate release 3.14159265 apple
The people on the Hill are trying to get through, who is going to brake to them that their mother ship has abandoned them, took the loot and quit? They are late hacking into toothbrushes, anyway, the file on them were archived in 20008 not be access unless and until CRAP 2012 rears its head. Do not engage the wandering wide-eye victims of the quitquake.
3.14159265 apple
Roger that.
Methinks the hill people’s head are just about to explode.
I could not watch the whole thing, I have enough crazy talk in my life with out sitting through that nonsensical meaningless p-o-o.
So I leave with a quote:
“You stole from my kin!”
“he was fixin’ to betray us!”
“You didn’t know that at the time!”
“I was borrowing it till I did know”
“THAT DON’T MAKE NO KINDA SENSE!”
“Only a fool looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart”
“O Brother, Where Art Thou!” AKM
Seriously, I would suggest e- mailing AKM your serious thoughts and concerns, this is not a secured venue, Use your toothbrushes!!
Forever Anonymous – I agree, some things should be private (and they don’t brush their teeth so no chance of leaks).
That’s a parable the late Allen Tesche would be proud of, AKM. Good work.
Here’s my favorite part of your post: “But some of those who file ethics complaints or call in to radio shows aren’t at those Democratic events because, they are… not Democrats. Some of them go to Republican events, and some of them just stay home. And some of them talk to Democrats.”
Given those I know that go to the Wasilla Lincoln Forum lunches at Evangelos (Republicans), and those I know that go to the Egan dinners at the Grand View (Democrats), it’s much more likely that you will find this former Republican non-partisan at the Democratic functions. It’s just not fun hanging out with the ultra serious, tin-foil hat, facts optional, sometimes ethically challenged, closed minded, can’t-debate-the-issues-because-I’m-not-sure-why-this-is-where-I-stand-on-the-issues crowd. So, you can count me among the “not Democrats” who “talk to Democrats.”
So for the benefit of the Hill People, let me confess the following: I have been at many gatherings in the Valley that included Republicans, non-partisans, and *gasp* Democrats. Some examples: meetings of the city council, planning commission, assembly, electric cooperative, telephone cooperative, 4th of July parade, governor’s picnic, hockey games, and even – drum roll, please – the grocery store! I have seen in person SM, CC, Diva, and probably AKM, though I didn’t know it, at events like Alaskans for Truth, where I also met conservative anti-Palin blogger Syrin and many other Republicans disgusted with Palin. I am even *gasp again* acquainted with a very conservative ethics complaint filer, who just happens to live here. Let’s get real folks. Alaska is a very small place, population-wise, there is no Democratic conspiracy, and there are no checks for sharing anti-Palin sentiments, which explains why none of you have ever seen one. Please seek professional help immediately and stop making stuff up.
AKM, Gryphen, Diva, Shannyn and Dennis -
The more I think about it the more I believe you guys have a legitimate ethics complaint against Mr. Van Flein. Couldn’t the public threats he is so fond of making constitute the intimidation of potential witnesses regarding ethics complaints (and perhaps future criminal charges) against his client, ex-governor Sarah Palin? Just asking. Jhop…can you weigh in here?

____________________________________
Having had the great pleasure of meeting Bubbles at the NY Mudstock, where we were able to communicate directly through our fillings, circumventing the need for toothbrushes and thus escaping detection, Mr. Forty Watt and I wholeheartedly second Austin’s suggestion.
I have the “sonic” brush…which grants me access to super-secret, high level EAM’s from “the One, who must be obeyed.”
And just think, we have to endure this lunacy for another 3- 7 more years….which is why is imperative that we remain ever-vigilant. Those hillpeeps and peebots (not to mention the Limbo’s, Dobbies, G. Becks and Shannity’s) are beyond crazed at this juncture; just imagine how “demented’ they will become by their own devices over time. Throw in a little Coultergeist and Faux Noose, and we have all the ingredients for complete anarchy.
We are astute and wise enough to beat them at their own game.
Heads up Pups…or shall I say “Beam me up, Shatner!”
the silence from sarah palin is deafening.
After all the laughs (and I have had quite a few, thanks!) I agree that this getting scary. These people seem to think America is really crumbling. Some of them, because they interpret their religion in some weird, uneducated, literal way are sounding like there is nothing left but to make the ultimate sacrifice. I have read where they don’t want to wait till the next election; they don’t think America has time. They look for a leader to follow and $p seems to be the one that has been chosen, and not by them, but by higher powers. I worry about the bloggers and even the president. He is the ultimate enemy. They feel that they are the warriors to to clear the way for the chosen leader to save us. And, there are the somewhat sane ones that are taking this idea and using it to further their own agenda. Either way, it is sounding dangerous.
This is just sad & weird.
Sarah as left her followers floundering.
She quit, and failed to give a coherent reason.
Her staff of 3 has no clue either, obviously.
(The Reagan Library cancellation, Divorce freak-out)
There are many known and unknown legal issues that are not settled.
(AFT, unopened Gifts)
Her followers are those who are recorded time and again of being irrational and conspiracy filled. (I saw one quoting John Ziegler as an authority)
When the dang politician herself says on the tee vee “the candidate who must be obeyed” without comprehending that the candidate was speaking in support of her.
So what do they do? They blame the AK Bloggers. So transparently ignorant.
Now, back to my toothbrush.
Freakout –
I agree with you. And for Van Flea to threaten to have Gryphen served in front of a bunch of 5 yr. olds is about as chickens^*t as they come. Van Flea is a punk.
http://alaskareport.com/news39/x71284_flien.htm
I am going to become a multi-gazillionaire by manufacturing ultra-chic tin foil hats for Hill People, and personalized electric toothbrushes featuring Brian’s picture for the rest of us.
Part of the profits go to you, AKM, so you can whack those idiots into the Internet Twilight Zone…
cynamen, Shatner seems to be making a comeback. Think we can get him?
(he has all the great gadgets)
To continue my thought from #168 above…the very public postings of Mr. Van Flein regarding potential future litigation would seem to be very unethical to me and it would also seem to me that there comes a time when he should either put up or shut up! (Not that I want to see any of you guys get sued!)
Forty Watt –

Oops, sorry Phoebe. So, Austintx seconded, we’re thirding.
The person who made the video of AKM, Shannyn and Diva has many more vids most of them focused on hating our President. As a side job she write childrens books. I don’t think I’d want to buy a book by her for my kid.
The guy who made the video:
Vern, Age: 19, Gender: Male, Astrological Sign: Pisces, Zodiac Year: Horse, Location: Burlington Iowa.
Any other questions?
Did he do this from his room, or from his parent’s basement? And were there Doritos present? AKM

@Anadventurer, did a 19 year-old really make that? Her people are truly in shambles.
Boy, would I LOVE to see Jon Stewart play with this story. Can you imagine how much fun he could have with communicator-toothbrushes and secret Alaskan blogger/ethics filer conspiracies???
booboodog – I’m in total agreement with you. You can’t reason with insanity. They are too close-minded to have a open discussion with anyone who shows an ounce of intelligence or sanity. And you’re right, they see President Obama as the “ultimate enemy”. Why? because he’s our first African-American President who happens to be more intelligent than them? We endured 8 years of Bush and Cheney and they want more of the same?
Took a while to dig up (5 minutes is a long time for an ex-hacker) but all signs point to him and his blog profile points back, could all be fake. Here is his Photobucket account: http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p152/VernAncelet/
The name and location check out on classmates.com and Myspace.com
Seagull Junker Palin #171 As I read your post, and you brought up the ethics problem of unopened gifts, I just had to stop and take a deep breath. Does anyone really believe there are lots of unopened gifts just sitting around? With 3 kids in the house? I’ll bet everyone last one of them have been opened, and if desireable/useful have been put to good use. And who is to know the difference? To tell the truth, I don’t believe SP knew she was supposed to report these until the disclosure of the $150,000 wardrobe.
This is the outcome of lower socioeconomic and not very intelligent people being manipulated by their party. They were called to arms & mobilized especially in the early 90s by some really corrupt conservative leaders, and they have their pitchforks ready! They are easily manipulated by code words. Have you noticed how they all say the same thing? They remind me of zombies.
It will come to pass that we will have to deal with this base element. They have been lied to, led by the nose, and used as ghostly warriors to spread hate of libruls throughout their churches, the Internet and beyond. And now Sarah has let them down, too!
However, it’s not just progressives that will have to deal with the mess Frankenstein created in the lab – I would not want to be a moderate, thinking R myself right now with these people hanging off whoever’s coattails they can grasp. Pandora’s box was opened long before Sarah came on the scene.
MY toothbrush has a battery so it can reach toothbrush networks far and wide!

“booboodog -…….”
It’s OOboob to you Miss yes rej wen! irol, checking out for now.
AKM, I hate that your photo is out there now. I am worried about your safety. These people are Kooks! Be safe………BTW…you are really beautiful….inside and out! Have a great day and thanks for being you!
anadventurer @187 The items in that photobucket are a tad violent and on the tin hatty side of reality. If he is the one who made that stupid AKM site, and he has these types of images- creepy. He may never get the kool-aid stains off his lips.
I only went into it a couple of pages. I am sure images of those two ayrian nation twins who sing about the pure white race are in there somewhere.
How very sick, and very, very sad.
This may be off topic but has anyone seen the story on Huffpo re: Van Flein’s letter to Gryphen? If it was posted somewhere here I didn’t see it so I posted a link in the open thread below. Recommend checking it out (o:
Fair Use?
Looks like violation of copyright if those are AK’s pictures without AK’s permission.
As for the rest, yeah, get out the tinfoil. Apparently it is against the law for Democrats to socialize with one another. That is reserved only for Republicans.
Or perhaps NEN has never heard of K Street or C Street?
Okay…it’s a beautiful day here (no global warming in Kansas!). I’m gonna go take the dogs for a walk…Agent Sasnak signing off. Roger. Over and out.
I’m glad the Democrats seem to be getting organized…FINALLY. Not much had changed in the party since Will Rogers said ” I’m not a member of any organized political party, I’m a Democrat!”. President Obama has been a force in that change, and the thread that binds us together is not a secret society, but that of truth-seekers who use the latest communication technologies to communicate. Ben Franklin would have been a blogger, I have no doubt.
Like most Alaskans, I am a “Non-Partisan” voter. I get to choose which ballot I want during the primary, and I can vote either party. That works for me, and I vote for those who will work for Alaska and Alaskans and progressive causes, not which Party they answer to. I do admit, I haven’t use the R option much. I miss Jay Hammond.
I am having difficulty digesting this farce.
I would like to make a statement. I made a similar one at Celtic Diva.
HHHhmmmm. Tap…Tap.. testing 123…
I am An Alaskan.
I live in rural Alaska.
I have never met any of the people mentioned in the video. I have never met any of the people who have filed ethics complaints against Sarah Palin or anyone in her administration.
I have never met anyone in progressive radio.
Would I like to? YOU BETCHA! I would be proud to shake hands with them and happily buy them an adult beverage of their choice. (provided they are of adult legal age, if not a milk shake then)
In my quest for information about our local, state and national government. I have had the pleasure of finding these wonderful blogs and news sources and radio talents. I find I am of like mind and share the same convictions and ideals.
The worse the behavior and antics of our elected officials get the more I turn to my like minded friends to discuss ideas of improvement and proper channels to make repairs to a broken system to learn and to debate.
All the better when our elected officials behave so outlandishly that me and my like minded friends can have a great belly laugh and in unison wipe beverage from our computer screens.
We read and comment on our pamphleteers latest publications and join in the conversation when our town criers hit the airwaves.
Meg, Vanflein, palinbots forpeeres. You do not get it.
Your video is rather stupid and disjointed.
When you say and tweet things we keep records. Obviously you guys really don’t understand the technology you are trying to use against us.
When you fly off the handle and start throwing around threats with in a few hours of a rumor being posted you really do give credence to the blogger.
Done with my rant now I must go brush my teeth. ( I have to go outside inverter messes with signal)
Also, too, AKM, you and your friends, fellow bloggers, progressive Alaskans are a creative, and yes, courageous, group. You are not a monolithic group, and not everyone agrees with everything all the time, but you are an important voice in Alaska political discourse, and I am so glad I found you.
In a way, this is ON topic – for all of us humans-
Dan Fagan finds TRUTH and peace – no snark here. Great article:
“Too much of what was coming out of my radio show, Web site, and Sunday column was unwholesome. For some reason I had convinced myself it was my job to run down and criticize others. It is one thing to analyze policy and issues. It is an entirely different thing to tear down someone’s character with personal attacks.
I will tell you I am ashamed of the way I have conducted myself publicly in recent years and frankly I am embarrassed by it too.”
much more and worth the read:
http://www.thealaskastandard.com/content/time-change
“Naked Emperor News website content is “fair use” exemption to (U.S.) copyright law, allowing commentary, parody, news reporting, research and education about copyrighted works without the permission of the author.”
Well, they certainly not news. Not research. Not education. (Not with all of those spelling errors.) If they’re parody it’s really, really hidden deep down in the dark. (Although it is hilarious).
Not sure how NEN is covered under any of this except maybe…commentary?
But even so, they can’t use AK’s pictures under fair use. Any judge would rule against them. I know. As a school librarian I deal with fair use every day.
Sites you can trust? BWA HA HA HA!
And how apropos they chose Naked Emperor as their moniker. I guess they admit that the Emperor is wearing no clothes. But…do they know who the Emperor is? Almost all of the trusted sites are Sarah Palin sites. Are they secretly wishing Palin had no clothes on?
But in general…what a Mickey Mouse, tin foil beanie site. Did someone get a local 8th grader to construct it for them?
And to really make the hypocritical point. Do you want to compare the people on SarahPAC, C4P, Team Sarah and NEN and see how many overlap? Was NEN put up by members of any of those organizations in cahoots? Ya think? But then, that’s always been the Republican way. They can do anything they want but how dare any Democrat think they have the same rights.
How dare Democrats consort with one another. How dare they talk amongst themselves?
How dare they require Saint Sarah to actually abide by the law.
(Can’t wait until Levi talks about Todd’s gun and someone spills on SJ’s prosecution.)
In trying to use imaginative empathy, I envision a country where there are a number of crazy tinged left labeled groups trying to mount a revolution who are spouting all sort of false conspiracy theories. These groups are mainly peopled by the poor who have not had access to a rational education. In this bedlam there are a small group of middle/upper class leftists who are struggling to challenge the status quo. They have to spend most of their time dealing with the crazies who are giving the status quo all sorts of amunition and making it virtually impossible for the rational left’s message to be heard and taken seriously.
You know, maybe in these times the quiet, rational Republicans, are strangely in a situation where they could get a glimpse of what it is like to mount a movement for change in a third world country riddled with poverty, illiteracy, disease and mythical thinking.
So where are the under-educated being generated in our culture? Is it partly in religious sect’s private schools? I wonder if the Republican Party is now paying a price for it’s long and intricate dependence on the “religious right”
to win elections.
Remember the riots, the Panthers, and the civil rights movement? That set of dynamics was rooted in the massive and real grievances of a suffering population. I guess using white rural Americans to push an old elite’s agenda might have had some unforseen drawbacks.
It might not be a bad plan, though, to take the rural under-educated seriously and try and understand what positive change might look like in their situation. I bet PO would chose this approach as the best option. Somewhere in the midst of all the looniness there are people suffering.
Poor villagers might blame their troubles on witches and go on pogroms against “strangers” in their midst, but their troubles are nonetheless real. The manipulation of their suffering by false leaders and useless ideology is tragic because it does not help solve their problems, only worsens them.
The tragedy is right before our eyes. People are being misled.
Partial list of things that are wrong with the .com site named above:
1) Inappropriate and disingenuous use of name (remind anyone of AFT?)
Their idol’s record pretty much does away with their “good woman” assessment. (She “maligned” herself and us with her conduct.)
2) Defamation of character (shows them to be what they inaccurately say the subject of their hatred is)
3) Video that actually shows progressive bloggers and ethics complaint filers are rational and want their government officials to be honest (ironically funny)
4) Video that fails to prove any of their claims are true (not surprising)
5) Written language that could easily incite violence (reminiscent of the P’s campaign speeches – be careful out there, everyone)
6) No way to respond to the content of the website (no “contact us” or email link)
7) List of “Trusted Sites” (wipes out any shred of credibility)
9) It’s safe to say they are the “obsessed freaks” (Otherwise, why go to so much trouble to gather material, chop it up and assemble it into nonsense, add a jungle beat, and do it all again when first round was removed due to copywrite infringement because the material was stolen? I’m awarding extra negative points for the lack of ethics displayed in committing theft in the first place.)
10) I’m betting they didn’t ask permission to use Reagan’s image and that his family would not approve of it being used in that way. (Is there a way to contact them?)
*steps off soapbox and goes to work*
Oops – that
was supposed to be the number eight.
Uh oh. This sounds a little bit like someone is backing away before the explosion. (#201)
I love this quote from the Naked Emperor site (apparently the goof who created the JeanneDevon homage site):
Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless.
Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.
—Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Yeah, that about sums it up.
Q- In his threat letter to Gryphan, why is Palins attorney signing his letters, “for Governor Sarah Palin,” didn’t she quit that job? Isn’t she just another unemployed commoner now? Hmmm.
This was fantastic! I’m sending it to The Colbert Report. It’s exactly the sort of segment he would do, only with proper spelling and with pulsating special effects at all the “danger” spots.
I think my toothbrush is the wrong color. No beeps or anything.
I made through about two minutes of the video and decided the remaining eight minutes would be better used staring at the ceiling and picking my nose.
I went over to Alaska Report to look at van flea’s letter. My impression is that the threat to serve a subpoena at the kindergarten was more in the way of a threat of some kind of extrajudicial action against Gryphen — “we know where you are” — like toilet-papering his house or something.
How does Palin feel about her attorney using a threat to frighten small children? Should we infer from her silence on that point that she encourages this kind of thing?
Why does Sarah Palin hate children so much?
By the way, my check is really really late and I have bills to pay. I realize that I have missed my quota of a daily post trashing Palin and/or conservatives but that’s no excuse for cutting off my funds. If you’re not careful, I might just accidentally “drop” my toothbrush into the Sea of Pee.
Oh, my god, I am too funny by half.
I own a sonic toothbrush. It comes with a UV light to sanitize the brush after each use. Cool, huh?

AKM ~ I LOVED this video! It makes the progressive Alaskan bloggers look articulate and sensible (since the palinbots and istas can’t read ~ they will only be listening to the audio ~ hooray for them pulling things out of a konservative keister!). I hope this makes all of you all famous!
On another note: The hillpeople (makes me think of the snoots and the Debbies on The Oblongs) should go to jail for stealing your personal property. Theft and/or burglary ~ are against the law everywhere. You’re gonna have to start ‘matchbooking’ your door, or get a motion-activated webcam.
The ogres and trolls (minions) probably targeted your toothbrush for two reasons:
1) cripple your communication system, and
2) DNA analysis for a database to be used in the future.
Next thing you know, the underwear elves (South Park) will be sneaking in at night. Yes, it’s all a little outrageous.
Crystal Wolf- He might as well just say “for Vice President Sarah Palin,” Or “for Mrs. American, Sarah Palin,” or any other made up title. And, hey, isn’t she the one who said she’s so mavericky she can change the country with no title at all? No she has a fake title? Oh, Sarah.
Bottom of the page “Palin Gets Personal” talks about the Palin email scandal involving the guy in Tennessee, PLUS an excerpt from Palin’s email to Sean Parnell talking about Dan Fagan.

Those of you who enjoyed AKM’s parable will probably enjoy this recently rediscovered play:
Wow, that was truly weird. Are the kenyan drums supposed to make it sound more sinister?
Some Villager just knocked on my door and demanded to see my papers, my bible, and my American flag. He said the papers were not in order (was supposed to be a Palin 2012 bumper sticker in there). He confiscated my toothbrush. He took a mug shot, and said I am to be listed on the un-American website. He says someone will return in 10 days, and if the papers are not in order, I am to be flogged. He was a pimply-faced 19 year old, dressed in a red shirt. Not sure how to proceed – tried reaching George Soros, lines are jammed. help.
valleyindependent [#203] -
Your comment made me wonder, what kind of suffering? Can you come up with a list? [Yeah, I'll re-read What's The Matter With Kansas in just a minute.]
The comparison with medieval peasants and/or tribal villagers is a little too sympathetic, I think. Judging purely from the type of comments they make in blogs, the only suffering they’ve had to endure is that of being looked down upon by nearly everyone else for being stupid, ignorant, bigoted, irrational, and proud of it.
So I can understand resentment of the sneers, with a reactionary self-righteousness – but suffering? Feeling sorry for oneself isn’t suffering.
But hey, someone has to be at the lower half of the bell curve for just about anything. If these folks didn’t exist, we’d be them.
Zombies clutching their rotting hands to the republican coat tails – wow, was that a great image, or what?
I find it infuriating that these rightwing nut bags wave the flag of Democracy and the Republic as if it only applies to them. They, who have mounted REAL conspiracies, such as Rev Wright, the fake birth certificate, Obama is a secret Muslim, he’s a radical left wing communist, he’s going to take your guns and send you into socialized healthcare where you will surely die a grizzly death. But God forbid some good people in Alaska stand up for what they know is wrong and tell the rest of us.
Part and parcel of this country’s greatness is to expose those who would use their political power for their own devious purposes. Our checks and balances were not put into the constitution to serve just the Republican party.
Anyway, God bless you guys. And I’d get on the phone with my lawyer tout suite about that name blog. That can’t possibly be legal.

Some Villager just knocked on my door and demanded to see my papers, my bible, and my American flag. He said the papers were not in order (was supposed to be a Palin 2012 bumper sticker in there). He confiscated my toothbrush. He took a mug shot, and said I am to be listed on the un-American website. He says someone will return in 10 days, and if the papers are not in order, I am to be flogged. He was a pimply-faced 19 year old, dressed in a red shirt. Not sure how to proceed – tried reaching George Soros, lines are jammed. help.

Worry not dear Lori in LA, the same guy showed up here. I smacked him with my toothbrush, stuffed his moth full of blank papers, taped his mouth shut with an Obama bumper sticker, then pulled him up the flag pole wrapped in a gay pride flag. The Christian right is out front stoning him right now. Little do they know he was on their side…heheha!

Where are my posts? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
now, now, paula.
there’s bound to be some interference in communications today, what with all the uphillers descending on the villagers.
Nebraska – he TOOK the toothbrush, confiscated! I tried to use my hubby’s toothbrush, but he is a registered Republican. Even though he voted for Obama, nobody rememberd to roll his brush into the magic beans – so it is useless. Things seem beyond hope now. My fault I suppose, for questioning the Queen.
I imagine the peeing people are frustrated that they were out-smarted AGAIN, when AKM herself put up the idiotic, nonsensical video and LAUGHED at it.
They do not like to be made fun of.
I used to think Sarah was her own worst enemy, but not true – by FAR, it is her peeing followers (they think they make her look GOOD?).
I have to get some work done..stop it. stop it now! I will take your toothbrushes away…
I have three toothbrushes and a brand new unopened one from the dentists. I didn’t realize -until today, what a high tech chick I am.
Hey, look, I gave myself a title, too, also, though. Can you guys now send me money for MY slush fund? I sure could use it.
If we keep using our toothbrushes we’ll never be posting anymore since we now can all communicate with each other. I’m bummed, not sure what to do. Please advise. And the bluetooth works great with the toothbrush. Hands free toothbrushing and communicating all at once.
tap tap tap, can you hear me?
Lori, you are right about the p’ers. This morning a post that was almost entirely typed phonetically was gone when I went back to look (and get another laugh). Even they thought it was too bad to leave up.
Wow, this thing IS testy today. Hope you all got my comments via your telepathic toothbrushes (hold to ear and listen very closely).

Actually, I am far faster with a t-brush than these stupid keys.
Ok I’m going..

My husband made the comment to me the other day about how the country is getting dumber and dumber. I disagreed, I think stupid people have been around for a very long time but that the internet allows us easier access to them.
This video is proof.
Funny thing is, I’ve NEVER given money to a politician or a political party, and was a registered Republican until the State of Alaska screwed up our voter registrations upon our return to Alaska in 2000- they listed me as “undeclared.” That was fine with me, didn’t bother to change it.
I give generously to charities that directly impact the lives of my fellow citizens, that is why I don’t give to candidates or parties. I maintain a certain degree of skepticism about all politicians and therefore don’t feel it’s right to support them with money.
—>I support them with my vote. Much more powerful.<—-
I’m a former military officer, served my country. As did my husband. Did the producer of this video serve his/her country? I bet not.
I have friends that are Democrats, but I have more family members and friends that are die-hard Republicans.
I don’t need to collect a penny to do my duty as a citizen to hold my elected officials accountable for their actions.
I filed an ethics complaint against former Governor Sarah Palin and felt it was absolutely the right thing to do. I have no regrets.
@209 karen marie …. you nailed my thoughts exactly !!! also too don’t you just love the the ” VERY SINCERELY YOURS , ” at the end of VanFlein’s letter? Cans I have a side of “have a nice day” with that?

I’m glad the Democrats seem to be getting organized…FINALLY. Not much had changed in the party since Will Rogers said ” I’m not a member of any organized political party, I’m a Democrat!”. President Obama has been a force in that change, and the thread that binds us together is not a secret society, but that of truth-seekers who use the latest communication technologies to communicate. Ben Franklin
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Ben Franklin was a blogger. He communicated with well written pamphlets, usually using pen names. He belived it was helpful if the personality of the author was not a factor in the discussion. Others did it too also, but he was one of the most known, mabey because he owned a printing press.
That video’s claims are so idiotic. Just because people who share the same political leanings talk to each other, interview each other, and link to each others’ websites doesn’t equal a conspiracy. But you know what? If those people share ideas and interviews and web links and it DOES affect an election’s outcome (such as “Brarack” being elected President) then I say: More power to ‘em! That’s what I call powerful use of the interwebs!!
Can you imagine the flowchart you could create among Hannity, Greta, Rush, Rove, Cheney, Fox News, Bush, Palin, and the rest of them? “Palin was interviewed by Greta, who’s married to creepy Palin stalker dude, who organizes SarahPAC, etc. etc.”
Anyone know if you have to be an Alaska resident to file an ethics complaint with the Alaska Bar Association?
I find Van Flein’s latest letter evidence of gross unprofessional conduct.
As a former Alaskan attorney, I feel ashamed and also sympathetic toward the other members of the bar who are unjustly sullied by Van Flein’s stunts.
Paula–what a find! I mean the toothbrush song..that’s just completely “on topic”!

On the TotalNet Guard Christian Internet Filter site, a comment from a true believer:
“I went to a walk-in clinic this weekend because I had flu symptoms. The doctor, upon seeing that I had my elementary teacher books with me, told me how ‘lucky’ I was that I wasn’t teaching teenagers. She opened her heart and told me that she had kicked her own 18 year-old daughter out of the house and had the locks changed. She told me that she has spoken to countless other parents who are bewildered and exasperated by the toll that the youth culture is taking on their families.”
Good Christian family values in action. Kick your 18-year-old out of the house, and change the locks. Mark Sanford-style-God-already-forgave-me-forgiveness must be for cheating politicians only, not for teens who view pornography on the Internet. Yay family values.
Makes me wonder if SP wasn’t governor, would she have kicked Bristol to the curb? Family values crowd says yes.

Liz,
Maybe you should go to Gryphen’s site and email him. Maybe he might be interested? Not sure but, I know he can use the support
his email is on his blog. He is probably getting lots of hate mail so be sure to ID yourself as a mudpup
http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/2009/08/mudflats-has-wonderful-parable-about.html#comment-form
Loved the parable AKM. Thanks!
Wingnuttery at its finest. What a news flash – scribes, villagers & democrats know each other – in tiny population AK. I’m so shocked! What really galls the hill trolls is that the President is so oblivious to their Queen, she might as well be a grain of sand in the Sahara Desert. Jumping up and down, “look at me, look at me, you’re so afraid of me, you know how powerful I am, you’re jealous of my beauty, I’m going to rule the world.” President swats fly.
What’s really funny (aside from the whole video) is that they’re calling themselves “Naked Emperor News.” Shouldn’t that be “Naked Emperoress News?” $carah’s the one with no clothes and now that she’s Plain Palin (no titles needed) people are starting to point that out. I love it! Keep up the great work AKM, I heart you!
I went looking for my toothbrush and found it has been moved to another location in the house. I think someone in my house may be a mole.

hee-hee-hee— Giant Apple Boy should be receiving a few e-newsletters about gay dating and lesbian relationships…he’ll aso be receiveing a few special offers on adult toys via email.
————————————-
I just got back on the nasty website these loony tunes made and have noticed Boy With The Giant Apple no longer has his e-mail address posted. Hmmmm???? Maybe he got some of the special offers I signed him up for…I think my last newsletter subscription was for transgender and drag queen news, plus he will be getting special offers from a wide assortment of online stores should he choose to find man sized dresses, shoes and wigs!
So, take note of the e-mail address if any of you want to send him an e-mail.
btw: I have my toothbrush on hand if anybody would like to chat!
I will never brush my teeth again…
without laughing while remembering this parable.
AKM you are perfectly brilliant. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for those who made and published and advertised the video. I mean, really.
Now I have to learn how to pronounce my secret name, Cigolaenne and go check my toothbrush for messages.
So….my secret name is MKA? AKM

Pssssst! (Talking low and surreptitiously here.) The hill people actually do use toothbrushes as covert communication devices (known as CCDs by people in the know). Fortunately for the scribes and their Supreme Leader, the more nefarious purpose of toothbrushes seems to have escaped the hill people’s notice…. and this blows their cover in a crowd every time. Tsk. Tsk. Amateurs.

Cassie Jeep Pike Palin, it just seemed like the right thing to do. I’m so evil! BWAA-HA_HA_HA_HA!
OMG!! I go away to our family cabin in the mountains for three days and all of this happens!! Gold mining! Divorce! Levi at gunpoint!! Screen doors flying around the North Pole!! Capt. Kirk strikes again!! And, finally….strange video brought to you from…a Christian netnanny company???
Let me share some thoughts:
1. I live in Pennsylvania and have never been to Alaska (although my parents have – on a cruise – but to get into that, one would have to watch a 3 hour slide show with commentary from the “old man” and my mom saying, “I’ve never seen so much duct tape in my life.”)
2. I know noone from Alaska. (But will soon – YAY Mudstock in the ‘burgh!)
3. I voted for Obama, in fact I still have the bumper sticker on my car.
4. I own a toothbrush.
5. I follow Alaska blogs.
I realize that some of this information puts me on a hit list, and I expect my arrest warrent to be delivered as soon as I hit “Submit Comment.” Hopefully, in light of Numbers 1 and 2, I will be able to plea-bargain.
More random thoughts:
Acccording to my rubric (teachers always have rubrics), had one of my students produced said video, he/she would have received 10/50 – with lowest scores going to: proofreading/ editing, flow and cohesion, variety of transitions/text introductions, background music/sound effects, works cited. The only area receiving high marks would have been “Student uses a variety of sources, ie. photos, video, audio.”
My husband thinks AKM has “happy eyes, like Kyra Sedgwick.” (Upon seeing her picture in video)
I was planning a large honking corsage with moose for Pittsburgh Mudstock, may now change to toothbrush theme.
Keep smilin’, ‘pups!

Wow. Never a dull moment around here! I confess to often singing in my toothbrush, sometimes even (gurgling a bit) while brushing. I so do hope I didn’t hurt anyone’s ears. Sorry.

Yeah, we do, my daughter works for Davy, she is his FT horse tender trainer. If Davy isn’t traveling, the two of them are working side by side. If we’re there and he’s around we see him, chat and stuff. Sometimes he comes to the races to watch the daughter and her boyfriend race & we hang. He’s a nice guy, very down to Earth. Funny: he and my daughter wear the same size jeans and t-shirts (small!), he gives her his hand me downs!
@#260 Kat – I had the same thought, but you said it better.
@#267 Lee323 – Too perfect! LOL
@ Sondra, thank you for your service, and for standing up for what you believe in. You are just one more example of how incredibly wrong the information put out by the Palinbots is.
Please help moderators!
My last post got stuck in the tubes due to me quoting a crazy person (THE one in question who emailed me back) who used some lite profanity.
psminidivapa- Davy just did a photo shoot w/ the Phila Inq, some sort of PAs most eligable bachelors thing. They interviewed my daughter while they were there, took pictures. He says he’s going to put her on his official website, I’ll pass it along for you if he does -maybe via I heart MF?
Thought about the divorce: IF they were happy, why would he go off to the “slopes” to work, far away from the family?
The book contract alone makes them rich.
He doesn’t need to work.
IF they are happy and all is well in $P’s world, then the family will NEED him at home. Whether she is writing the book or traveling around, this large family needs one spouse to be tending to home, and one spouse can afford to stay home.
IF all is well, there is no good reason for him to go away and many great reasons to be a† home.
Oh dear, when you guys are on the roll… and it is all about toothbrushes. My toothbrush will never look the same to me (as she looks around and whispers quietly into her toothbrush “AKM Letters Can you read me?”. You never know.)
Hi letters! You need to write sweetie!
Mo,
Rural white American suffering? A lot like rural American suffering of any ethnic group only….
Access to medical care-environmental degradation (air, water, soil contaminants)-ways to make a living ofter physically harmful-often degrading-low self-esteem, difficult family and workplace interactions, abusive bosses, living space- housing issues, crime, drug addiction, numbing use of self-stimming time wasting activities, obesity, cigarette smoking, nobody knows about you, people make fun of you, tourists look down on you, you are locked in a cultute of failure- good times involve drinking and getting into trouble with the law- so what is it really like in Alabama, Wasilla, Mississippi, in the places where people love Sarah, is she really going to change their lives for the better? Do the churches some people turn to keep them out of trouble, do they make things better? Yes. Do they also make things worse when corrupt poloticians use those churches to induct people into building their careers without doing anything that really changes rural conditions for the better? Yes.
When you can get someone shouting about Obama’s birth certificate and bloggers hurting Sarah onto the topic of what is hard in their life, then they become real people. But , it’s easier to project and join in witch hunts than to face real trouble head on. Facing the real trouble is scary and it hurts.
Great parable, AKM! Now that’s something we can sink our mind-teeth into.

Of course, it powers down after 3 minutes to maintain security…

I must say the PRRT (palin rapid response team) is totally disfunctional as usual. threatening bloggers at their place of work at a kindergarten no less is beyond the pale-in. Kids are off limits? ^&%%%#%$(***!!!!!!!!!
What with the the no new twitter account yet? No IT staff to set it up?
And whatever van flea is charging, sp is getting hosed! they will never sue anyone for fear of deposition. He is a small time syncophant and would be eaten alive by a real lawyer.
Please AKM, use the info I posted earlier that is awating moderation…
I watched the video twice. I thought it confirmed my high opinion of Alaska bloggers 200%. Highly favorable.
Well, whether they planned to split or not is nothing because now they can’t. No way, no how, they are together for better or worse, because Sarah would look like an idiot if he left now. So, not going to happen.
Now about the two items that are very, very serious, pointing a gun at another human being. I’d hope that something of that magnitude would be taken seriously by law enforcement and by the media. (notice no one is talking about that!) The other issue being about the possibility that the Governors office placed undo pressure upon the Prosecution to effect sentencing in that matter. Not good and it isn’t being talked about by mainstream media either.
I hope that someone is taking notice of the first issue and doing something about it, hello law enforcement…are you out there? There has been an allegation made of assault with a deadly weapon, bodily harm, that can’t be taken lightly.
The second issue, I don’t think, even if it is true, that you will hear anything about until all is over and done with in Sherry Johnson case. Prosecution and Defense will both want to be careful on that issue and later on there might or might not be an investigation if allegations are filed by the Defense. For now, no one is going to want to mess up any kind of plea deal or whatever they have going on, or prejudice the case in any way.
I think it says more about Van Flein the type of letter he wrote (wow, talk about unprofessional, he’s been hanging with the Palins too long) than it does about the actual matter in dispute. It says much about Gryphen that in the face of threats he too has stood up and said he cannot be threatened by the Palins and let the chips fall where they may. Good for him. It means he believes what he wrote to be the truth to the best of his knowledge and really that isn’t a bad thing to have on your side…the truth as you believe it to be.
I’ve noticed that threats and intimidation seem to be the modus operandi when it comes to the Palins and their supporters and it’s aimed directly at the Alaskan bloggers.
BTW, I have my toothbrush out if anyone needs to call me.
Happy brushing!
uh…do you talk directly to the toothbrush ..brushy part? I don’t really want to have to stick a toothbrush in my ear.
Help, having trouble answering the dang brush! (does it ring?) maybe the wave thingee is offline.

@Paula – your transmission received and answer on its way via “Friscodent” in green. (I like green. Is that bad?) Roger. (Roger Who?)
Regarding “the rumors” and Van Flea’s response. I wish Gryphen could have waited.
He says he has corraboration and these allegations will soon be proven true, but why couldn’t he have waited until he could point to those facts/sources.
Some posters are stating that he is brave for going out on a limb (and he is), and that if he’s shown to be misled, he himself will take the hit.
Unfortunately it will not ONLY be him. (more like the FREE WORLD). Part of me think that the Palins are too short-sighted to have set this up, but we know that many of their coaches are surely diabolical, and experienced in byzantine plots. This “makin’ up stories”could play perfectly to their advantage; if this backfires, it could discredit ALL investigative blogging.
There is no way I can get any needed work done. First AKM’s wonderful fable, Paula’s childrens book titles, Forty Watts toothbrush song. I don’t want to miss anything. But garden is calling, especially beans right now, squash bit the dust.
Keep it up all. Looking forward to NY mudpuppies reports and pictures.

@#288 Lilybart
Just a few thoughts – You may be right, but many happily married people aren’t together all the time. One woman explained why she was glad her hubby worked on the Slope this way: The money is good, they can spend big blocks of time together on his weeks off, and just when she is starting to get tired of having him constantly underfoot and wants to be able to get back to projects around the house, it’s time for him to go back to work. So, she’s happy to see him come home, and happy to see him go back.
It could also be that Todd simply misses working for a living and having his own life. So, I wouldn’t read too much into his going back to work.

Thanks! Just sharing the loathe! lol
karen in or, I agree 100%. Gryph has some good stuff but the palinskys wont divorce anytime soon, now no matter what. Splitsville = something to deny. Patience grasshopper. NOW, the other stuff is beyond their control, so lets see what happens…
Okay, I’m sharing Giant Apple Boy’s e-mail address again, just in case anybody else would like to subscribe him to some fabulous offers. His email address was posted at the bottom of AKM’s hate site earlier today but low and behold, he deleted it sometime today, such a shame. But not to worry, here it is again!

I must get busy and stop browsing free offers…it has been quite entertaining though!
I would like to thank all of you. Since I first made my first google search to find out anything I could about Sarah Palin, and found the Alaskan Bloggers, I have gotten a literal education in politics, something that used to boggle my mind. I’ve learned how some of our politicians take snippets of conversations and turn them around to try to discredit their adversaries. I’ve learned that many say whatever fits their audience or whatever scares people to gain a political advantage. I’ve learned that I can find the truth just by using the internet, and double-checking to make sure what I find is really the truth or a figment of somebody’s imagination. You are all being attacked because you have made it almost impossible for them to spin their webs of deceit (at least around thinking, educated people). The internet has changed the playing field forever, and given us all virtual friends from around the nation as well as around the world. God Bless You and Keep You Safe, as well as keeping you strong.
I think that the Alaskan Blogosphere should take a page from the Spice Girls.Years ago the Spice Girls were attacked in the British press and each given a nickname
( Posh, Sporty,Scary,Baby,Ginger). The Spice Girls in an act of PR genius, embrassed the nicknames as their own and turned the tables on their britsh hater press.
I think its time to for a Mudflats ” Name the Alaskan Blogoshere Conspiracy Network” Contest and take the wind out of their sales.
How about ” The AssHat Kickers Club”? Get the other ” conspirators” in on it and put “logos” up on the blogs. Maybe we can get a membership card you can print out for all of your followers. Take their conspiracy accusations and turn it into what it is, a joke.
It really, really irks me that the screwy YouTube fails to mention me or my connections to the Democratic Party. I guess the fact that I live in Wasilla, have known Palin for nineteen years and campaigned against her as early as 1996 (though not nearly as hard as when there was a possibility she might have access to the launch codes of 10,000 thermonuclear warheads) messes up their narrative, eh?
AKM, you may want to get legal advice about the use of the name for this site. Internet doman name squatters have lost big time legally and they have no “fair use” of the name for this site and this is not a parody (legal exception). If no one with that real name is involved with the site it is easily provable that the owners intent is to damage the reputation of the name used.
An amazing concept to the Wingnuts to become ” loosely” organized with unique independent blog followings and then network with politicans as well as other media.
Their whole ” rank and file, walking in lockstep” approach didn’t serve them well as it makes them ALL look like crazed raving Coulter/Rush/Hannity/Dobson bots.
We all know their disdain for “Community Organizing”
They are just mad they didn’t think of it first
sjk 310. You’re right. Any woman who can fake a pregnancy and a childbirth while governor, can fake a marriage as long as it is convenient. I expect a steady drip drip drip of revelations on the things she can’t control.
Van Flea’s “kindergarten” letter is a classic- oh, to have Jon Stewart read it on the Daily Show…
“I’ll get you my pretty, and your little kindergartners too!”
I must say I’m proud to have a small part in such a vast conspiracy. I never new that personally knowing your elected officials and talking with fellow like minded citizens was such a terrible thing. Maybe you have to have a big PR firm setting up a fake grassroots organization in order not to be a conspiracy. Too bad these folks slept through civics class…never mind, I forgot they no longer teach civics since it is unAmerican.
Phil, you’re not a woman and dont work with small children I assume?
@Grandma Nancy – my thoughts exactly! I learned that lesson years ago, when I joined the Union in self-defense from my employers. They taught me “look at the actual statistics and not at what the politician thinks it means”. Often the politician picked up somebody else´s interpretation already…. I am easily awed by numbers, but when I realized how that is being used against me I sat down and figured out what it really meant and was surprised and shocked at the stupiditiy of some of our representatives.
Then it meant ordering hefty documents from government departments hardly known. With the Internet it´s all at my fingertips.
@Philip – hope you are not too dissappointed. Especially as watching it made me conclude that Alaskan bloggers are AWESOME and you definitely belong in that Alaskan Hall of Blogger Fame.

What a slap in the face. LOL.
Actually, the real problem is that the hill people don’t have a narrative because they don’t know what it means or how to spell it. “Gutteral” instinct is their form of linguistics and it’s unfortunately illiterate, visceral, and ultimately incomprehensible. Rest assured. You’re in their guts somewhere….giving them heartburn, nausea, and diarrhea. I wouldn’t doubt that Van Flein is at this moment preparing another bitter emetic or enema.
To those conspirators mentioned in the article and video–I’m proud to know you. For those I don’t know yet, I look forward to meeting you.
Just when I thought Palin was gone..and now all of this. Does anyone know where I find VanFlein’s letter that has been referenced here to be all over the internet. Thanks in advance.
That video is a piece of garbage. Ugh. When will these idiots ever stop?
Until now I’ve declined to watch this video, but what a refreshing surprise it was! Who says the Republicans can’t write comedy?
The Palin/libel/kindergarten story doesn’t sit well with Huffpo readers. Some good comments and over 1300 so far.
Phil Munger, maybe they haven’t broken the code to your toothbrush yet? (o:
Ginger – here’s the link to the Huffington Post article:

It’s on The Alaskan Report too (sidebar) and Immoral Minority has link to Alaskan Report also.
@ Bystander #316: She can fake a marriage but if they’re both dating other people, there could be a for-real new Palin baby in the picture — not Sarah’s.
Just saw Don Young died in VA…on FOX news (I’m at my mom’s)
It’s Don Young’s wife who died, not Don Young.
