A simple reminder to conservationists to attend the election meeting of the Citizens Advisory Committee to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game has taken a fascinating and amusing twist.  You’re going to like this one. I noted in my first announcement that the website AmmoLand.com had posted a notice from the Anchorage Second Amendment [...]

About six months ago, the “Get Motivated” Business Seminar came to Anchorage.  Rudy Giuliani was a headliner at the vaguely religious, conservative-esque motivation-palooza at the Sullivan Arena.  So was Zig Ziglar, Tamara Lowe – the interestingly coiffed author of the Get Motivated book, Steve Forbes and others.  The commercials ran for weeks. “Bring your whole [...]

It’s an exciting day at Mudflats Central!  The plan is (emphasize the word “plan”) to have myself hooked up to a brand new computer.  The transition makes me a little nervous, but I figure I’m going to save a half hour of my life every day from sitting here waiting for things to … do [...]

Honey, Lemon or a flask of Jack Daniels? Got an extra $350 burning a hole in your pocket after the holidays?  Well, pool those Christmas checks and get ready.  For $350 you get to see Sarah Palin deliver the keynote speech at the National Tea Party Convention in scenic Nashville Tennessee!  If she shows up! [...]

We’ve got a super special treat today on that painful Monday back from a holiday weekend. I hope you love it like I do. But a warning. A serious warning. Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT attempt to drink anything during the video. If you must, pause the thing first. As a matter of face, [...]

The book thread yesterday was awesome. If you can’t find a good book to read in those comments, then give up now. This morning, however, your open thread is as pure as the driven snow… Enjoy!

I had a great suggestion from a Mudflatter who had just finished reading Open Secret by Stella Rimington, the former Director General of Great Britain’s Secret Service, and thought it was excellent.  She asked  that I throw out the question and ask everyone if they’ve got a biography or autobiography to recommend, about someone who’s [...]

Now there are those of you out there who may have noticed that there are quite a few Alaskans complaining about those dang socialists out there in the Lower 48.  Socialism is a four letter word in these parts.  Yes, siree. But this time of year, all those people hope you are looking the other [...]

Well, 2010 has begun.  The day had a less than auspicious beginning when I discovered that I was totally out of coffee, and was ultimately (after much wailing and rending of garments) forced to use yesterdays coffee grounds, still in the machine, to brew up a pot.  I was not impressed. Let’s just say I [...]
