~Velcome….velcome to the chamber of horrors! Muahahaha. I did enjoy giving Sean Hannity a little Halloween costume. (rubbing hands together like a fly) OK ghouls and goblins, Shannyn Moore is broadcasting from her usual location, which is fairly horrifying even on a regular day – the studios of conservative talk radio KBYR. (insert witch cackling [...]

Happy Halloween Mudflatters! I got this submission from a reader we’ll just call “Eddie Fireplace Palin,” and in the holiday spirit, I thought I’d share with all of you. As you chomp your candy corn and try to unweld your jaw after a good watermelon Jolly Rancher, sit back with some hot cider, turn the [...]

Jack Schmack.  We’ve got a Brian O’Lantern!  This awesome creation came from “Mudflatter A” (no relation to “U.S. Representative A” of Corrupt Bastards Club fame).  I met her about a month ago and she already had it all planned out – a vegetable homage to the great ungulate that is the Mudflats mascot. I feel [...]

Looks like Levi isn’t the only one “leaking on” Alaska’s notorious politicos. A memo that wasn’t supposed to be public was accidentally put on line in full public view by a low level staffer, and Bingo!   Suddenly we know all sorts of stuff about all sorts of members of congress who are being investigated [...]

And the ironies just won’t stop. This week we find ourselves listening to Sarah Palin complaining that her almost son-in-law Levi Johnston a) is desperate for attention, b) Is capitalizing from showing off his body and c) is a big fat liar. So says the spotlight-craving, truth-challenged former beauty pageant contestant. We also learned this [...]

It was a regular day at work, and I was sitting at my desk doing work stuff. Phone rings. I keep typing, and wedge the phone between my ear and shoulder. “Yeah.” “There’s someone here to see you.” I sigh. I think, from experience that this is probably some kind of salesperson. “I’m kind of [...]

By Linda Kellen Biegel Blue Oasis *************************** Sarah Palin filed her final POFD (Public Officer Financial Disclosure) on time according to APOC (Alaska Public Offices Commission) rules. However, Palin has proven herself to be selective as to which rules she chooses to follow and how completely she follows them. For example, we’ve seen nothing “disclosed” [...]

It was quite the Who’s Who of media yesterday, both traditional and new media. Reporters and bloggers sat side by side in the packed courtroom waiting for the sentencing of Bill Allen, the former CEO of the oil services company Veco. The ringleader of Alaska’s corruption scandal drama, with players known as “The Corrupt Bastards [...]

It’s been a busy busy day. I had hoped to have a very special story to tell you in tonight’s open thread, but I’m afraid that my early rising this morning to go attend the Bill Allen sentencing has left me nodding off at the keys. So, tomorrow, when I can do it justice, I’ll [...]

I get lots of email from political organizations on both sides of the aisle. I like to know what we’re up to. And I like to know what THOSE guys are up to. I can’t read all of them, and they know this. So they try to capture my attention with catchy subject lines like [...]

Meg Stapleton has reared her head and responded to the latest from Levi who talking about Sarah Palin, promised to “leak stuff on her.”  (Note to Levi:  About.   Leak stuff ABOUT her. Thanks. Here’s the statement responding to his remarks: We have purposefully ignored the mean spirited, malicious and untrue attacks on our family. I’m [...]

Maybe I’ve been too cynical. Maybe I haven’t given Joe the American enough credit. More than seven in 10 Americans think Sarah Palin is not qualified to be president, according to a new national poll. Seventy-one percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Wednesday morning believe the former Alaska governor and [...]

You’ve got ONE HOUR.  Shannyn will be on Countdown tonight with Lawrence O’Donnell.  So get prepared.  Comfy TV watchin’ clothes, popcorn, wine or beverage of choice, bathroom run, unplug phone, shades down, you know the drill.  Tonight’s topic?  All things Levi, and maybe a little something about Palin’s book too… Live blog it here!  I’ll [...]

Well, here it is. Sarah Palin’s last report to APOC. I will leave the detailed dissection to those who are suited to such things, but here’s me sort of live blogging the document. Using an outdated form, she has crossed out the old dates and written in new ones. Is the new form the same [...]

Another porcupine!
