Looking to watch the President’s Health Care address to the Joint Session of Congress today? Head out to Democratic Party Headquarters at 2602 Fairbanks St. between Fireweed and Northern Lights. The speech starts at 4pm Alaska time. There will also be a conference call with the President’s campaign manager David Plouffe that everyone can listen [...]

Well, once again Rupert Murdoch’s hand (aka The Wall Street Journal) has found its way up the backside of the Sarah Palin sock puppet. Yes, I apologize for that imagery. Whoever wrote her latest op-ed piece doesn’t even try to make it sound like it was actually written by her. They’ve  just given up.  Who [...]

There’s a famous t-shirt in Alaska by the consummate Alaskan artist Ray Troll that says “Spawn Till You Die” with a picture of a skull and crossed salmon.  It’s become an iconic image up here, but it’s just a brutal fact of life for one of Alaska’s most famous species.  They hatch, they swim out [...]

Tune in tonight and see Shannyn Moore on Countdown with Keith Olbermann.  They’ll be talking … Death Panels.  They just won’t die. I got a sneak “preview” and it’s going to be a good one! Live blog it in the comments and I’ll throw up the clip as soon as it becomes available. Visit msnbc.com [...]

You know when a cranky kid tries to keep another kid from stealing a favorite toy?  They grab in and cling tight, and fall on the floor on top of it and shriek in a way that makes anyone but a kid the same age clamp their hands over their ears?  Well, that’s Sarah Palin [...]

It’s finally official. Today, Democrat Ethan Berkowitz has tossed his hat in the ring to run for Governor of Alaska in 2010 by submitting his letter of intent with the Alaska Public Offices Commission. Berkowitz was unsuccessful in his attempt to knock Alaska’s lone congressman Don Young off his perch in 2008, although polls showed [...]

Back from Labor Day weekend in beautiful Resurrection Bay. Got relaxed, got sunburned, got lots of pictures. Life is good. I’ve never seen such amazing weather in September in Seward. It was warm and sunny and in the 70s. Amazing. Everyone was out enjoying the weekend. There were power boats, and sail boats and kayakers [...]

OK wingnut moms and dads across the nation. Here’s a final word to convince you that you’re doing the right thing by keeping your kids out of school to protest the president telling them to stay in school. Yeah…that’ll show ‘em! This spoof is quite hilarious.

OK, everybody… Ready for the big scary indoctrination? Ready for some kind of evil fascist-communist-Democrat-Marxist-eepycreepyist propoganda that will be crammed down the throats of innocent school children turning them into librul slaves of their evil Obamacrat Overlords? Hide the children! They’re about to be told to never give up. They’re about to be encouraged to [...]

Opening Keynote – Chuck Rocha Closing Keynote – Richard Trumka

We are often reminded to remember the “true meaning of Christmas.” But, we’re not often reminded to remember the “true meaning of Labor Day.”

About 200 supporters of health care reform showed up at Romig Middle School Thursday night to send a message to Alaska’s Senators.  Alaskans want real reform, now. Soon to be gubernatorial candidate Ethan Berkowitz was there, in addition to Rep. Sharon Cissna, Senator Johnny Ellis, Shawna Thoma from Mark Begich’s Anchorage office, and others I’m [...]

Well, we’ve finally reached the end of our flight from Houston to Anchorage.  I’m glad everyone’s been enjoying the pictures.  I had a lot of fun taking them.  It made the time go fast, which is nice on a 6.5 hour flight! This last shot is of the Cook Inlet mudflats, and Anchorage in the [...]

Shannyn Moore will be sweeping the conservative dust out of the building and taking over the KBYR studios for a blissful two hours, as she does every Saturday.  Of course, I’m not actually here as you read this.  I’m off somewhere enjoying the last gasp of summer.  So, I can’t tell you specifics about the [...]

I got a hilarious email on Friday about the whole “The President of the United States is going to indoctrinate our children with the love of learning” thing.  It was one of those snarky ones that used satire to the extreme to illustrate how truly insane 10% of the country really is. It started off [...]
