As many of you know, I get lots of “interesting” email. Among the lovely ones, and the strange ones, and the unpleasant ones, I also get lots of offers. Some of them are like the ones you get, which guarantee you untold riches from a foreign land if you’ll only email your bank account number. [...]

Irish bookie paddypower.com has set the odds. How long will Sarah Palin make it on Fox before she is let go?  Or quits.  Or decides that you don’t need a network job title to make a real difference, and that as much as she abhors the thought, and even though her family comes first, as [...]

Every once in a while some other state’s politics captures my attention to the point that I feel I need to jump in. Rod Blagojevich? Come on. Who could resist? This one is even more serious. We’ve watched the Health Care Bill in the Senate get whittled down to a skeleton of what the majority [...]

The day before yesterday, I decided.  I needed a copy of Game Change, the tell-all book of the 2008 presidential camapgn.   And I needed it immediately.  So I stopped in at Barnes & Noble.  I was surprised not to see a giant pile of them right up front, so I started looking around.  And I looked [...]

Found on Etsy: Description Sarah’s got a gun and a nice pair of…glasses. Little Sarah embryo is about 1.25″ long (not including the loop on top). Comes with a red ribbon and a gift box. Feti is just for fun, no political statements being made here. How many times have you seen “Baby’s First ____” [...]

DENIED. Pete Kott, hoping for a repeat of the Senator Ted Stevens corruption trial, was flatly denied today by Judge John Sedwick.  Kott claimed that the prosecution in his corruption trial had withheld evidence that might have proved him innocent.  Bill Allen, former CEO of oil services company VECO, who liked to buy politicians for [...]

I found this picture looking for something else and it made me laugh.  This is last Christmas when Buf the dog got her beloved chewy candy cane.  Someone who shall remain nameless (cough cough spouse cough) had a little too much fun with her and a Sharpie marker.  The poor girl had Joan Crawford eyebrows for weeks.

There’s never a shortage of drama at the annual conservative CPAC conference.  In 2008, John McCain was booed.  And if you’ll remember, last year Sarah Palin agreed to speak at the conference to deliver the keynote address.  All the Sarah Palin fans at Team Sarah went crazy.  They formed a special group on the site, [...]

Good suggestion to put up a new open thread and leave the Haiti thread from last night as a separate post. So, here it is.  Squeaky clean.  Fill it up!

I, like many people, have been watching the news coming from Haiti.  I have been to Haiti, and to the capital city of Port au Prince.  Haiti is a beautiful country, with incredibly friendly people, and desperate poverty.  I had taken many years of French in school and was prepared to be able to speak, at least in a [...]

  Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Well, well, well… Somebody’s just a wee bit touchy, wouldn’t you say? For anybody out there who still has a shred of respect for John McCain, I have a clip for you. Matt Lauer talked to Senator McCain who just returned from an [...]

The new members of the Anchorage AC – the SFW 7, are going to attempt to rescind the Anchorage AC’s support of the Denali Wolf Buffer Zone. It is likely they will succeed since the SFW 7 now have a majority vote on the committee. Its is vitally important that residents that support the Denali [...]

It wasn’t if, but when.  You can imagine Sarah Palin as an action movie heroine on a large ship that’s about to blow up.  She’s in some kind of red leather suit…she’s running….running…… There it goes!  A huge orange roiling cloud of flame bursts from the hull, and the shock wave of the explosion propels [...]
