Tiptoeing Through the Muck of Alaskan Politics

Mudflatter OverTheMoon SCORES in Write Like Palin Competition!


“The minute I was on that stage in Florida with all those lights in my eyes and the smell of Alaska still on my fingertips and my family, too, all around out there, I was where I dreamed of all those years on the basketball court and in Alaskas’s God given beauty which we must cherish and use as God gave it us to use and in honor of the troops, also.”


Runner Up Entry from OverTheMoon

Sound like Palin? You betcha!

Well, we are all just pleased as punch at Mudflats Central and so proud too that one of our very own patriots and Mudflatters who also knows how to write like another true blue American, Governor Sarah Palin, has brought such honor and selfless pride to our family and the country using her God-given abilities to fulfill her destiny for victory in the name of God and country also. Please use the comment section to say a real sincere thank you and appreciation for the art of writing and communication that also permeates the talented brain of Mudflatter “Overthemoon” who marched on and persevered after entering her entry into the contest at Slate.com in order to see just how much Americans can write just like that former governor there who inspired so many people to write like that and not take for granted their God given abilities to imitate and mock too the stylistic talkings and writings of the woman that can only write and talk that way – Sarah Palin.

For those of you who had no idea what I was saying, here is the English translation: You rock, Overthemoon! Congratulations for being one of the runners-up in Slate’s “Write Like Palin” competition! You do us proud. As a matter of fact we’re all…well… Over the Moon!

    OMG and Ronald Reagan also too! That is so cool that OvertheMoon scored so high in this serious competition. It makes my head ache just to think about how Sarah Palin thinks, in order for her writing to be such a pile of rambling babble. I am hoping that her “rogue to nowhere” booksigning tour is over tomorrow after she finishes in Minneapolis. It really needs to just be over…

    Well, I just wanna give a big shout-out to OverTheMoon for having progressed that writin’ entry there into the finals of that competition there which is almost the same thing as winning it like Sarah almost did that contest, also. And that the success and real Americanism of that entry shows all of us how important it is for us all to support the troops and Jesus. too.

Great job, also too and representing Mudpups all over the world along with our warriors and troops and the God given oil under our feet to be drilled while the fireweed blooms above and fasting and praying away our problems will progress us to continue slaying salmon and doing good for Alasssssska!!! ;)

    Seriously, Congratulations!!!! You were in some serious competetion so you should feel quite proud for nailing it!!!

    Ok. This is really very extra special nice to be recognized by the Mudflats. Nicer even than making the Slate list. Actually, I’m not sure its a good ting to be able to imitate Palin!!

    However, I hereby share this honor with the entire Mudflats Community. If it wren’t for this great site, I wouldn’t have even known about the competition, let alone had all the backup material for a good snark session. Please, everyone take a bow!!

    Now lets keep up the vigilant fight for truth in our media, our communities and our country!!!

    Hey, everyone else who didn’t win writing LIKE Palin can write TO Palin by signing CREDO’s petition here:

    Congratulations to OvertheMoon, who, taking pen in hand and putting ideas on paper, and thinking, for the good of all Mudpups everywhere, especially those who can see Russia from their houses- those, also, defending the rights of all mudpups to be free- who freely donate time and energy to support the troops and defend Alaska…dang, lost my train of thought…where was I?

    Oh, yes– I am glad to honor OvetheMoon, who writes to defend our God-given liberty and freedom of all, of those subjected to Palin World Salad, to make sure no one has to read her garbled goobledegook while wearing a tin foil hat and holding an electric toothbrush.

    overthemoon, you certainly deserve many 3 wolf one moon t-shirts for your effort!

    Keep on keeping on, also keep making certain that your attempt at bad sentence structure and poorly created word stringings don’t also stick into your life that you must live in a daily world.

    Congratulations OvertheMoon. Runner-up with over 700 entries. Loved in “honor of the troops” and her basketball court days.

    After the Word Salad Book Tour, there will be a celebration as noted by 19thenorwegianblue. Thank you for posting the website. I love the idea, it sounds educational and fun!… http://www.dctheatrecollective.com/... If we can turn all of Sarah’s stoopidness into positive things, like raising money for Planned Parenthood, wildlife protection, climate change, special needs children, and so on… I think this will help diffuse her impact more than getting angry at her. It will raise our vibration to a productive level of doing good. If this performance turns out as good as it sounds, the troupe should go on the road or send the script to other drama theatre groups.

    Also, too, I would love to read a transcript of AKM’s acceptance speech at the Muckracker’s Ball. That would be so cool!

    Dearest Overthemoon, After you get the fish slime off of your keyboard and the pounding sound and feeling of the glaciers breaking up out of your head I hope that you will indulge yourself with an an adult beverage of Alaskan Vodka mixed with Diet Sugar Free Redbull served with ice from a berg recently vacated by a patriotic Polar Bear after which you should really enter a sweat lodge fueled by burning sage for a nice long sweat to cleanse your body of the toxins that have to be flooding your red blooded stream due to your channeling of the brainwave, singular, of S’aintt S’error. Brava

    Dear Overthemoon, so glad that you get this honor and also are able to share with others the good strong sense of American patriotism and meaning for the troops and special needs also, because these children are gifts from God! I hope you will keep writing and use your God-given talent to proGRESS the image of Sarah because also we need more strongly to educate our young people and in the face of threats from Russia, so close to the pioneers in Alaska there.

    That was awesome, made me laugh out loud =)

    Ok Mudpups – Palin scores 2 for the price of 1 on the O’Reilly Show: Proves she’s a dummy AND can’t resist a slam of President Obama which proves once again why she is not and will never be qualified to run this country

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cenk-uygur/the-irrefutable-stupidity_b_382213.html

    P.S. Hey Sarah – we know who and what you are referring to when you say “some kind of elite Ivy League education”, “a fat resume based on anything but hard work” and “spineless” in the same sentence. Give it up – your jealousy of President Obama is very very obvious.

    Congratulations, OverTheMoon! Good work!

    I admit to being inexperienced in Palinastics, but it must have been an authentic falsity, since it gave me a headache until I reminded myself that it was actually a satire by a smart person.

    Particularly, that enviro-erotic bit about Alaska and her fingers was “pure Sarah” – if that is not too much of an oxymoron!

And to DudleysPa , …. .. !
