Thought you’d enjoy this bit from Saturday Night Live where they take a shot at Fox News’ “fair and balanced” look at the election results from last Tuesday. Can’t wait for Tina Fey’s return later in the month!

What a fantastic afternoon!  The last time there was a Mudstock in the Anchorage area, I was still one of those “anonymous bloggers” so I was unable to attend the event.  I thought at the time I might sneak in and sit at a nearby table and watch, but I knew I’d totally give myself [...]

It’s Saturday once again, and the imprisoned public airwaves of poor poor KBYR get their time out of the Big House, and into the Yard for some fresh air and recreation.  Ahhhhhh…..  Sanity. Lots to talk about this week. What’s on your mind? Health care, that Don Young compares to “bobbing for apples in an [...]

It’s time for Republicans to start eating their Young.  Don Young, that is. It seems that our “Congressman for All Alaska” decided to vote with his feet on Thursday and showed up with bells on to Michele Bachmann’s “Superbowl of Freedom.”  That’s right, we’ve only got one U.S. House Representative and  he shows up at [...]

Tonight Sarah Palin was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin addressing Wisconsin Right to Life. And yes, a “boots on the ground” Mudflatter was present at the event. I’d like to give a big thank you to the intrepid Mudflatter E, and Spouse E who drove to the event, plopped down their cash, and took one for the [...]

Yes, even after the last year there are still those who just love Sarah Palin. Who ARE they? And why? This comes as close to answering that question as anything I’ve seen.

Here’s a follow-up post to answer one of those “what ever happened to” questions. Hop in the Mudflats time machine and go back to that stressful time this spring when Mt. Redoubt was blowing its stack, ejecting tons of debris, sending mudslides and lahars down the flanks of the volcano, barreling toward Chevron’s Drift River [...]

OK Wisconsinites!  Alaska blogger Sarah Palin is coming to your state!  She’ll address the Wisconsin Right to Life Group. Tickets for the event at the Wisconsin Exposition Center outside of Milwaukee, which go for $30, appear to still be available. The restrictions are “bizarre,” according to Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate. “You know, [...]

It’s about time!  This is the one state of the union that the president has not visited, and I’ve been wishing for this since long before Sarah Palin got the VP tap. As a matter of fact, I posted this when Mudflats was only two days old! Back in those days, Alaska was in “purple” [...]

Yesterday, the faux outrage just bubbled over for Rep. John Boehner (whose website goes out of the way to tell you it’s pronounced BAY -ner). To prove his patriotic cred, he whipped out the pocket constitution he carries with him as he addressed the crowd about voting down evil bad health care reform. Little did [...]

More fun with Sarah Palin’s mystery business “Pie Spy, LLC” that was revealed on her final disclosure paperwork for the Alaska Public Offices Commission. [h/t to the great 'flyinureye' for another one of those pictures that's worth 1000 words]

This is not a joke….I repeat, this is not a joke.  Not satire.  No Steven Colbert popping in at the end.  No Onion.  No Andy Borowitz.  And yet, I couldn’t watch it without laughing.  All it needs at the end is the Capitol Building blowing up in a giant red fireball, and Bachmann, Palin and a [...]

OK, everybody who lives in the Anchorage area, raise your hand. Everybody who did NOT vote in the mayoral run-off election, keep your hand up.   Be honest…come on. OK, would that 80% of you line up please, because I’m about to go down the row and bonk you on the head. It won’t hurt. I’ll [...]

This in from The Wall Street Journal’s book report on Sarah from Alaska by Scott Conroy and Shushannah Walshe. There are lots of interesting tidbits, but this one’s my favorite. There’s not a lot [in the book] about why Palin resigned this past summer as Alaska governor after less than a full term, except that [...]

We’re back once again for our “four squares at a time” tour through the awesome Mudflats quilt that was so kindly made for me by thesneaky cypber-quilters on the Mudflats forum.  There are so many nooks and crannies over there, that you never know what fabulous thing may be going on at any given moment!
