This is the week. Let the games begin!

Before you click the play button, have a sweater handy. Heck, make it a parka because your blood is going to run cold. Thick and cold. The apple does not fall far from the tree; the apple being Liz Cheney, and the gnarled, creaking tree with a shriveled black dead frozen heart is her father [...]

Well Palin’s book is not even out yet, but the dam has burst.  The floodgates are open.  The rogue has hit the fan. Why?  Because something has happened that Sarah Palin, her ghostwriter Lynn Vincent and her editor never anticipated.  That darn media is at it again, only this time they’ve sunk to a new [...]

There’s going to be lots to talk about on The Shannyn Moore Show today.  Like it or not, you-know-who is back in the news.  She’ll be interviewed on the Oprah Winfrey Show and her book Going Rogue is out in bookstores this week, advanced copies are circulating and pages are making their way on to [...]

Well, it looks like rogue pages from Sarah Palin’s memoir are making the rounds on the internets. Here’s my contribution to the growing collection, courtesy of a Mudflatter who wishes to remain nameless. Gather round for story time, children! In this page, we join Sarah Palin as she recounts the birth of her daughter Bristol. [...]

And now for something completely apolitical. This is a flock of 300,000 starlings in Denmark. No, I did not count them, but I’m going to rely on the estimate provided and assume that they have some kind of bird counting technology of which I am unaware. I’ll just stick with a “LOT.” According to ornithologists, [...]

If you’re looking for something fun, unusual and inspiring to do today (Saturday), check out the TEDx event happening in Anchorage. The schedule of speakers is HERE, and it looks to be an eclectic mix of music, poetry, technology, science, creativity, and social change. Who could ask for more? The day starts at 10am in [...]

“Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here” Dante Alleghieri, about Hell “Abandon Truth All Ye Who Enter Here” Me, about this: Well, I hope they file this sucker in the fiction section or they’re going to have some ‘splainin to do! I read a couple weeks ago, when the announcement was made that Going Rogue [...]

  Security was tight to say the least.  I’d actually never been on Elmendorf Air Force Base before, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect.  ID, insurance and registration at the gate.  “Please pop the hood, ma’am,” I was asked, after I pulled over as instructed.   My car is fairly new.  Well… new to [...]

Waiting for the President.

Great news! Ann Strongheart, whom many of you know as a strong advocate of Alaska Native issues and the co-founder of the blog Anonymous Bloggers is about to have her baby! Seems that the little one waited for Barack Obama to visit the state before beginning his entrance into the world! I’m in the hangar [...]

I am proud to say that until a few moments ago, I had never heard of the “Fleshbot” Awards.  This apparently-coveted, suitable for displaying on the mantle award was presented to Sarah Palin’s almost-son-in-law and grandbaby daddy for successfully transitioning between the category of “pop culture star” to “sex star.” Apparently just knowing that Johnston [...]
