Open Thread – Grass Roots Fundraiser
Come to Cafe del Mundo tonight from 5:30-7:00pm to support progressive radio in Anchorage! Donations will be used to get the word out to the population at large that Alaska talk radio is not relegated to the “libruls are destroyin’ Amurrica” crowd that populates (ironically) the left side of the dial. Let’s help The Shannyn Moore Show roll out bumper stickers, advertising, and all those incidentals that will let people know where to go for smart, funny, thought-provoking talk.
I am honored that Shannyn shares one of her 15 hours a week with me for “Thursdays in the Mud” and I’ve proudly added my name as a co-host of this event. So stop by after work, meet some great people, thank Shannyn for her outstanding work, grab a little something to eat, and toss whatever financial support you can to Anchorage’s most talented radio host. Let’s face it. You know who’s going to be keeping you sane this election season.
If you’re a business, and you want to advertise on Alaska’s fastest-growing radio show, email shannynmoore(at)gmail(dot)com. And if you can’t make it to Cafe del Mundo, but want to help, you can visit Shannyn’s blog and click the “Donate” button on the top of the side bar.
[And remember all open threads remain active for 24 hours for links, conversation and comments that are off topic to other posts. Thanks!]
Wish I could go….but I can still *click*!
so i clicked on your link to donate and could not find a donate button on shannyn’s blog. i’ll try again.
ok it showed up on refresh!
Will there be Bumpits?
Thanks for the information!
SNORF, jimzmom.
Great cause. Do any of you know why there have been no podcast updates since hour #1, Feb 22nd? I had been thrilled to find I could download them even from iTunes, but I am now all caught up and in need of more.
News about HealthCare….
Well….Last week the two CA Senators signed that Letter and the story then was also reporting that Blue Cross/Shield had announced plans to raise Insurance Premiums by 39% this year. It was Boxer or Feinstein that said there announcement was exactly the reason WHY they needed to sign the letter.
I was just getting off work this morning and turned on the local morning TV.
Subject : Healthcare—-The story they reported on didn’t go into any details but I assume there may be some more Online stories as details come out.
This mornings News Story said the CA Attorney General, Jerry Brown, has requested or subpoenaed some of the larger Insurance Companies, like Aetna , Anthem Blue Cross, Wellpoint, { about 7 of the largest ones } and told them to turn over files to his office. They didn’t go into ‘ detail ‘ as to the specifics of the files but you know he wants info about their rates or profits.
Why else would the State Attorney General be on their case..?
Maybe some of the other States Attorney Generals will follow his lead as well and start investigations. Lets hope it snowballs.
Oh Hell Yeah !!

Oh, sweet Jeebus on a popsicle stick. Can you believe the concern trolling here? Hey John, want to know why there was a carve-out for Connecticut? Why don’t you ask your bestest buddy, Lieberman, who hemmed and hawed his support in order to get on TV as much as possible. Are you seriously blaming Obama for the lack of change in the way the Senate must do business? Why don’t you look in the mirror and ask yourself how much your party has contributed to that change.
Frankly, responding to McCain’s concern trolling is laughable. Which is why Obama’s response is the only way to do so.
OBAMA: Let me just make this point, John, because we are not campaigning anymore.
McCAIN: I’m reminded of that every day.
OBAMA: So we can spend the remainder of the time with our respective talking points going back and forth, we were supposed to be talking about insurance reform. Obviously I’m sure that Harry Reid and Chris Dodd and others who went through an exhaustive process through both the House and the Senate with the most hearings, the most debates on the floor, the longest markup in 22 years on each of these bills, will have a response for you. My concern is, if we do that, we are essentially back on Fox News and MSNBC on the split screen. My hope would be is that we can just focus on the issues about how we get a bill done.
Suh-nap! Poor Grampy could only sputter at that point.

OK…. My curiosity got the best of me about my earlier comment about
CA Attorney General and the Insurance Companies. Here is an actual Press Release from his Office as well as a story posted on Huffpo.
————————
“Brown Subpoenas Health Plans over Claims Denials and Rate Hikes”
Los Angeles-Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr., who has an ongoing investigation into possibly illegal practices by some California health insurers, today subpoenaed financial records and other documents from California’s seven largest health insurance companies.
“We have been looking at these companies for a number of months and are very concerned that some of them are unjustly raising premiums and denying payment of legitimate claims,” Brown said. “Not only are the rate increases devastating to Californians strapped by the economy, but in some cases, they are possibly illegal.”
“Our best attorneys are going to get to the bottom of this, and where we find violations of California’s unfair business laws, we intend to stop them,” Brown added.
Brown subpoenaed records from Aetna Health, Anthem Blue Cross, CIGNA, Health Net, Blue Shield of California, Kaiser Permanente and PacifiCare.

Comment at wonkette concerning sarah’s tweet yesterday.
http://wonkette.com/413923/sarah-palin-wanted-you-to-watch-ladies-hockey-today-did-you
The insurance bandits are doing what the credit card bandits did, raising rates ahead of a possible change in law so they are Grandfathered in at high rates.
Is Celtic Diva’s Blue Oasis related to the SS Palin?
I heard the emails came back in December or November, but haven’t seen them and it’s 3 months later…..waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy overdue.
Everytime I got to her site and try to look for the SOA emails her reader’s paid over $5,000 to get I don’t see them posted. Does anyone know if they’ve been released or their status? I probably shouldn’t be posting this here, but that site is difficult to post on and I think this awesome site and hers shares some of the same readers.
I remember her saying she got a refund, but my Paypal hasn’t been credited for any amount so I’m not sure.
Diva if you read this please just release the emails…this is hurting your credibility.
Linda has already made a very detailed post about all this on her blog, but I will pass on your concerns to her. Many of the emails came back with large portions redacted. AKM
HonestlyinGov@9– I’m glad our Atty General is looking into this, and he’s also the most likely Dem candidate for governor. It wouldn’t hurt him to have some “I took on the health insurance corporations” cred as he goes up against Meg Whitman.
@ aha
Celtic Diva’s site is easy to post on once you sign up – and she also has an email address where you can contact her directly. CD was overwhelmed with pages of information needing to be sorted and catalogued when she was presented with her data.
I do not agree that CD has a credibility problem – she is thorough, dedicated and very busy! She is a wonderful, honest and big-hearted person who has a very full life outside of blogging. Try contacting her directly through email and ask for a status update to be posted soon!
aha #12:
I have the same concern. I have asked her, on her site, a couple of times recently. She has posted, by the way, about the refund she got, which was pretty substantial. My recollection is that the final cost was around $2000. She is still in the process of trying to get further emails so there will probably be further expense.
She has only responded by saying something will be coming soon. I have to assume there is simply nothing of consequence in the emails she received. In fairness, she also indicated that many of the emails she received were redacted – much more so than the NBC emails. This heavy editing may have been intentional. I find it easy to believe that the administration might have taken her FOIA request personally.
I think we can take it on faith that she is not in any way aligned with the SS Palin, though! She is totally passionate about this, by all indications I have ever seen.
But it is time for a clear explanation of what she got, what else might be coming, and why it has been 3 months with almost no emails released…
Woo hoo… S N O W D A Y ! ! !
School is closed (!) and I am sitting in my nice warm, cozy flannel pants and fuzzy socks, enjoying this unexpected day of freedom.
Looks like there’s close to 2 feet of snow on the back patio and, although the radar shows otherwise, it’s still coming down pretty hard. It’s sticking to everything and it looks sooooo pretty (especially since I don’t have to go outside in it) !!! Actually, at some point today or tomorrow I probably will have to dig my way across the yard to the bird feeder and clean it off so my feathered neighbors can have a snack. I KNEW I should have moved the feeder to the edge of the patio last fall!
I was smart enought to stop at the library and the grocery store yesterday on the way home from work so I have books to read and ingredients for a yummy bowl of beef veggie soup.
Ahhhh…life is good! Enjoy your day, mudpups!
good morning mudpuppies.
i am in mudpuppy heaven here in anchorage this morning…looking out my hotel window at the “track” being set up for the dog sled races (part of the “fur rondy” events).
i wish each and every mudpup could visit here and enjoy the company of the alaskan blogging community.
it has been a blast!
a shout out to those of you who i met last night…”bernies or bust”.
fawnskin mudpuppy -
Dang girl !!
You are in Alaska !! Please give one of these to sarah if ya see her.
http://www.thenostalgicboomer.com/images/birdiecashSQP690224-FP.jpg
Waving wildly with joy and sadness to fawnskin mudpuppy! For me, hug ‘em all.
Fawnskin ! So glad to hear you’re in Alaska. I was wondering when you’d end up there. Can’t wait to hear about your adventures. Have great fun today !
Leenie17 – I don’t know how the major part of that storm missed my area but I’ve only got about 6 inches out there. It’s still coming down though so I’m quite glad to be hunkered in for the day. I made a cream of potato and veggie soup this week so that’s getting tossed back on the stove to simmer.
And – Kitty update – She’s taken to the new box and has been there for more than an hour. Fingers crossed that she’s finally ready to birth these kittens and that there won’t be any complications. I read some articles about possible birthing problems and how to help but I’ve never done it before so I’d be winging it. ( and lordy – I don’t want to have to do it !! Justa – Send your good farmer vibes my way, wouldya ?)
Meg Simpleton talks
“It’s fair to judge by results,” Malek said. “Sarah Palin has risen in both prominence and wealth. By any measure Team Palin has been a huge success and Meg has been a big part of it. Who else is there besides Sarah herself?”

Acclimated or not…20 degrees is 20 degrees. Tell me something, Alaskans….would you be in 20 degree weather, in the snow, without warm clothing???
Wow fawnskin – BIG WAVE!
Austin, that link is priceless. Fawnskin, can you please give her one from me also, too.
Fawnskin! I was just there. Wavewavewave. Have a great time.
BuffaloGal -
Cream of potato and veggie soup….ooh, that sounds wonderful.
May have to try that one next weekend!
Apparently, the storm did NOT get the memo that the heaviest of the snow was supposed to have ended here in Roch hours ago. It’s still coming down like crazy and doesn’t look like it’s stopping any time soon. It’s gone from light flurries of the really fine snowflake early this morning to lots of bigger flakes this afternoon so the accumulation is increasing. Good thing it’s Friday so the Mon-Fri workers have a couple of days to dig out before Monday.
Good luck to you and Mama-to-be Kitty!
Hey BuffaloGal (and other fellow NYers)-
Did ya hear? Patterson has decided not to run for gov after all. Too many scandals and too little support, I guess . I’m glad he’s cleared the way for another Dem to run. Wonder if this will be the nudge Cuomo needed to announce…
BuffaloGal -
Got a shipping date on those kittens ??

Tried to email Shannyn as to costs for advertising – conservation dude I know was interested in (possibly) advertising for tundra swan efforts in eastern pennsyltucky – but my email keeps bouncing back.
Was Palin at the hockey game last night? Only watched the game on the tube so wasn’t paying attention to the Laker Affect (wannabe celebs get their faces on the tube). Did people boo?
Was curious… since the Games are in Vancouver, are there any people making their way up to Juneau so that they can say they’ve been to Alaska?
folks…running out of hotel to do shannyn’s radio show.
tune in
HistoryGoddess-
I produce Shannyn’s show, the service I was using for podcasting just quit accepting uploads after the first hour on Monday. I’m looking for a new host, and should have something figured out by Monday. I’m going to keep trying the old host, but so far haven’t had any luck with it.
11:00 AM Alaska time is now!
http://www.kudo1080.com/
Shannyn’s show is just starting!
OK, a few commercials – they just announced the show.
“I did what was hard and put the people first” …”will continue to serve”.
No matter what your opinion is on New York governor Paterson…HE DID NOT QUIT!!!!
A must read:

My favorite line: “Sarah Palin is not on the same plane as those with developmental disabilities, she’s one who chooses to be an idiot of her own accord.”
austintx (@28)–wow, that is an epic fail!
Lainey @34 -
No matter what your opinion is on New York governor Paterson…HE DID NOT QUIT!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You’re absolutely right. He will finish out his term and continue to try and do his job. I certainly give him credit for that. I also believe that he sincerely tried his best with an extremely disfunctional legislature.
Unfortunately, his nice guy persona seemed to have won him a lot of friends prior to his becoming governor, but it did not serve him well once he had the position. He was never an effective leader and I give him props for knowing that it is time to step aside and let someone else take a shot at fixing the mountain of problems in NY. All his candidacy would have done was split the Dems in an expensive and likely ugly primary. Now the Dem candidate can focus on beating Rick Lazio.
Lainey and Leenie17 – re: Governor Paterson – Unexpectedly, he found himself handed a huge responsibility and he took it on with integrity and grit. I gave him credit for getting in there and taking it on. He had to make some tough calls and was willing to do so. I’m still rolling around ponders of why he ended up not being an effective leader. I think he’s got more going for him than many folks currently in office.
Leenie17 – I see you’ve managed to send your heavier snows out towards Buffalo. Sharing your snow wealth ??
Hi Dave @31 – Thanks for your work !
AustinTX @10 – Love that Palin/Epic Fail comment. I might have that embroidered on a pillow ( and no estimate yet on when your box of new kitties will arrive. But…soon!!! )
Will you please post kitten pics somewhere on the Forum before you adopt them out?
Does anyone have a video link to the short montage of repetitive Republican sound bites at yesterday’s summit?
The scripted phrases “start over,” “blank sheet of paper,” “portability,” and “tort reform” heard over and over was comical, in a very sad way. Anyone who missed viewing the summit would have thought this clip was put together from months of footage, not all in one setting. Embarrassing lack of credibility!
this is a very good idea for a bill……please pass this petition around for support of it. below is what the author of the bill ‘freshmen’ Rep. Perriello says, lol……btw, the bill has passed the house and now is in the senate.
http://pol.moveon.org/perriello_antitrust/index.html
“I’m sick of starting with what can we get through the Senate; let’s start with what solves the damn problem. Until the Senate gets its head out of its rear-end and starts to see the crisis we’re in, our country is literally at risk. Our economy is at risk, because these jobs are being created overseas. It should have the same urgency with this problem that it had bailing out Wall Street.
“We are swearing an oath to do what’s necessary to protect this country, not do what’s necessary to get a bill through the Senate. If you look at what voters were upset with on the health-care bill, it was all the carve-outs and exemptions and watering it down. Voters are smart; they know that the House bill stood up to the health insurance companies and the Senate bill didn’t. The same thing is true here: If they respect that the bill is actually going to transform our economy, make us more competitive and more independent, they’ll support it. If it seems like it’s just a sell-out to the big donors from the oil and gas companies, they won’t support it.
“That’s the question that we should be asking: Does this solve the problem? Is this a solution worthy of the American people? And if it is, then great; let’s move forward with it.”
This is what the petition says…..
“Strip insurers of their antitrust exemption
Unlike just about every other industry in America, health insurance companies are completely exempt from antitrust laws.
And that allows companies like Blue Cross to create monopolies and raise their premiums without having to worry about competition. In California, Blue Cross wants to raise the premiums they charge some customers by up to 39%.
Led by freshman Representative Tom Perriello, the House just passed a bill to strip insurers of their special exemption by 406-19. Now the Senate needs to follow suit.
A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to your senators. “
oops….forgot to mention, the quote I posted from Rep. Tom Perriello was his response when asked if Senate Dems should bail on an economy-wide cap on global warming pollution. I like the guy! He’s feisty.
Oy vey!

Sarah Palin to tea parties: ‘Take over’ GOP
Someone posted on another blog that they enlarged a photo from Sarah’s appearance on Hannity, and that it looks like glass reflecting behind her and the poster thought she might have been standing inside her glass doors by the deck that overlooks the lake. If that is the case, she sure didn’t bother to clue Hannity in that she was NOT standing coat-less in 20 degree weather.
Sarah has to have something negative to say about every/anything Obama!
Bonus Quote of the Day
“I think Michele Bachmann summed it up very well earlier today. She suggested that maybe the beer summit was more productive and fruitful than what we saw today coming out of the health care summit.” — Sarah Palin, in an interview on Fox News.
And what a disgusting way to discuss abortion!
Extra Bonus Quote of the Day
“Half of all black children are aborted. Far more of the African American community is being devastated by the policies of today than were being devastated by policies of slavery.”
– Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ), in an interview with Mike Stark, inelegantly trying to make the case against abortion.
AKaurora @40 – MSNBC has been running the clip over and over – both yesterday and today, Chris Matthews has been running it and said he planned to continue – he’s really enjoying it!
On another topic regarding the summit, McConnell was whining that the Democrats were getting more time to talk than the Republicans. I loved it when POTUS responded that he was the President and he didn’t think of his opening speech as taking away from the Republicans time (I can’t remember his exact wording).
Matthews just reported on it and someone went over the 7 1/2 hours and found that overall (not counting O’s speech) the Dems got to speak a whole FOUR (yes, FOUR) minutes more than the Reps. How petty! And the Reps. wasted everyone’s time with their complaining about everything instead of staying on topic and trying to solve some differences.
Over and over, the Dems. made positive statements, such as referring to the Reps. recommendations that were included, and the overall belief by the Dems that there wasn’t all that much difference between what everyone wanted.
ruh-roh…just heard blurb that palin will go ‘on the road’ with glenn beck. is this like the spider and the fly (you can decide who is which)…more truancies for her schoolage kids, more drinking/drugs for the older kids, and more neglect for the little ones…no positive attention for trig…what a shame that in this one area, she is still allowed to ruin lives.
Dave- thanks for all you are doing. Hopefully a new podcast host can be found soon. I really look forward to hearing the show.
You really think the big money people who run the Republican party are going to let a bunch of “commoners” take over control of their party?
They have used the religious right for decades and laughed at them. All they have to do is pull their money from the Tea Baggin candidates and go buy them some moderate conservative Dims to cross over on the promise of campaign millions.
It may be touch and go for a while and it will get uuuuuuhglee but the billionaires wil keep control.
Get some paper towels and large size windex there going to be some bug splats if the Baggers really try to take over.
Sarah’s trying to play to both sides and neither is going to let her get away with it.

If the spineless dims have the guts to use it they have lots of video of them pointing out where the two sides agree that can be juxtopposed against Repos saying they want to scrap the Senate plan and start with a clean sheet.
I though the dims came out well yesterday. Then they went and weenied out and let a fillibuster work, after they had said they would stay in session till Bunning dropped.
I’m sure we have all notice that the 2100+ page Senate bill has been referred to as a 22hundred page bill by the Repos.
Yesterday in the converence Cantor (boy did Obama take him to school) called it a 24 hundred page bill. After the conference McConnell called it a 27hundred page bill.
At this rate by next fall’s elections it will have more pages than American fatalities in Iraq.

Leenie17 – I see you’ve managed to send your heavier snows out towards Buffalo. Sharing your snow wealth ??
~~~~~~~~~~~
As a teacher, I have learned the difficult lesson that there is a distinct and inevitable downside of sharing. I teach all my kindergarteners that it’s important to share. So they do.
They share their rotten, stinkin’ germs with me from September through June, resulting in several weeks of laryngitis and 2-3 cases of bronchitis each year and, if I’m REALLY lucky, an occasional bout of pneumonia.
Along with the snow I am generously sharing with you, my neighbor to the west, I am passing on that painful lesson. Like my five-year-olds, it is given with love. UNlike my five-year-olds, I’ll keep my boogers to myself.
Enjoy the snow!
oops..should read “trying to tie it to Islam AND other nefarious things “all Obama”. Brain is faster than fingers.
Hereis more of the Trent Frank quote from Thinkprogress
FRANK: In this country, we had slavery for God knows how long. And now we look back on it and we say “How brave were they? What was the matter with them? You know, I can’t believe, you know, four million slaves. This is incredible.” And we’re right, we’re right. We should look back on that with criticism. It is a crushing mark on America’s soul. And yet today, half of all black children are aborted. Half of all black children are aborted. Far more of the African-American community is being devastated by the policies of today than were being devastated by policies of slavery. And I think, What does it take to get us to wake up?”

Finally – a smackdown of McCain
snip]
finally, a man whose overriding need to be president – and whose delusional belief that his spluttering, unprincipled essence qualified him for it – led him to choose as his running mate a preternaturally ignorant, demagogic harpy whose entire platform turned out to be unearned umbrage. John McCain’s casual willingness – while unironically touting his slogan “Country First!” – to risk placing this rabid witch one cancer-ridden 73-year-old heartbeat away from the presidency makes him, to me, not the patriotic hero he likes to paint himself as, but rather more of a traitor.
