I "clink" right back at you! Thank you so much. I came upon your site when I saw the headline "Women Against Sarah Palin Rally" years ago, and loved it ever since.

My friend in Washington state and me in New Mexico are both ex long time Alaskans, now retired to warmer climes. She told me about your site and now I can't get through the day without my Mudflat fix. So thank you, AKM, from this old Alaskan.

I am thankful I am not delusional. I am thankful I am not jealous or frightened of Sarah Palin. I am thankful that I appear to be in better health right now than Sarah Palin. I am thankful for being able to work a little, play a little today, all in my pajamas! (Decided this morning I am not going to take them off all day!) I am thankful for God giving us grapes and the brains to be able to make wine out of 'em! Happy Thanksgiving to all mudpups and other thinking people, and a big childish Raspberry to the Palin-Heath clan. BTW, if Mr. Terps EVER tried to get out of Thanksgiving with me, it would mean things had gotten pretty darn bad between us. Not a good move if you are trying to squelch rumors about your marriage being 'on the rocks'. Cue the Neil Diamond/Barbra Streisand duet ...

Although I don't often post, I have read your blog everyday since she came on the national scene and find it my daily amusement. Just as I need my morning coffee, I need the Alaskan blogs. Very entertaining. So, thank you AKM for bringing such joy into my life and for showing the rest of the world that all of the Alaskan women and men aren't stupid and ignorant as portrayed by the witch from the north.

The work you do on your blog absolutely blows me away. It is an enormous task to deliver this much copy on ANY subject, let alone politics, and maintaining such a high level of quality and intelligence and humor on a daily basis is a monumental labor of love and commitment. On a personal note, thank you so much for your love and support during my most hellish year. I was so touched and grateful that you used your own powerful platform as well as that of The Huffington Post to broadcast the outrageous behavior of my health insurer and the heroic actions of my cardiologist whose decision to pay for a Stress Test when Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield would NOT likely saved my life. Maybe a few more Americans finally "get it" that havig health insurance in the United States can be just as life-threatening as NOT having it. And a BIG THANKS to all the Mudflatters who passed my story on to their political reps. The GOP's position on health care reform is postitively appalling. It will benefit no one -- except the disgusting health insurers and the political whores whose "moral" imperative seems to be soely dictated by campaign contributions -- to further deregulate an industry whosee murder-for-profit abuses already abound.

Michigander, you are more than welcome. I am so thankful for the wonderful writings of AKMuckraker, her friendship and trust, and the team of mods and admins for whom I would need to use about 600 words out of the thesaurus to describe. I am so blessed to know y'all. :) Thanks all! ;) You are all so awesome, I don’t really have the words!

You have made me cry, laugh, critically think, and remember to be compassionate. You have taught me what a politician is not suppose to be(via SP). At the same time, I have met some of the most caring and intellectual people around the world here on this wonderful site. We definitely have a huge fight up ahead to do everything in our power to stop this divisive woman from ruining our country and spreading her lies. We will never convince her base on her how dangerous she is to this country, but we have to make sure that we spread the message to intelligent people about her deceitfulness. We can do this Mudpups! Yes we can!! Happy Thanksgiving AKM and to all Mudpups. I heart you all! AKM and all the Mudpups around the world, I feel heartfelt thanks for the informative political information you have given me.
