I’d like to thank a very special “Boots on the Ground” reporter and friend, Mudflatter Geoffrey Dunn.  Dunn is finishing up a well-researched book due out this summer titled “The Lies of Sarah Palin.”  He’s having a hard time not making this a three-volume set.  He told me he’d call in a report after seeing Palin’s [...]

www.visionsofthewild.com 1.5 Million Astro-Turf Seeds for Alaska by Shannyn Moore On May 15, 2008, the federal government put polar bears on the endangered species list. I figured if George W. Bush said they’re endangered, there were probably 11 of them left and we should put them in zoos. It took exactly one week for half-governor [...]

Linda Kellen Biegel is the proprietor of the Blue Oasis blog and has done an outstanding job of following up on many issues involving ethics complaints, ethics legislation and how we can hold our elected officials accountable to us, the people who elected them. While it takes effort to participate, and give testimony, and maintain [...]

Hooray! Our fair city has maintained the highest possible bond rating! Woo-hoo! Yeah, baby!  Hip hip….. Hey, what’s the matter over there? (We look quizzically at the sad, sad star). Turn that frown upside down Mr. Star!  This is great!  It means we all have to pay less money for things than we would if the city [...]

I found that after watching the entire Sarah Palin Tea Party speech and accompanying interview last night, I needed to find a “happy place.”  It ended up being the Deep Oceans episode of the incredible series Planet Earth.  And it was probably that that got me thinking about whales. The dvd had some incredible footage of [...]

There are a couple lucky birds over at the Bird Treatment and Learning Center today.  A beautiful golden eagle got his leg caught in a trap, and the story of his rescue is just wonderful. The efforts that were made to get this guy the care he needs are truly amazing. Our USF&W agent was in [...]

Sarah Palin ate my brain, and now I’m going to bed. Sleep tight Mudflatters.  Tomorrow’s a new day. Think of all the things you can accomplish!  And then write them on your hand.

I thought it was kind of funny when Sarah Palin, in her speech to the Tea Party Convention tonight, criticized President Obama (who just did an hour and a half unscripted back-and-forth with Republican leadership) for using a teleprompter, while reading from her own notes. Apparently paper, the low-tech version of the teleprompter, means you’re [...]

OK, everyone ready?  First, you’ll need to sign in to PJTV.com.  That’s Pajamas TV, the conservative live stream host for the Tea Pary Convention featuring the infamous Facebook sensation, Sarah Palin.  Or, you can check out the whole thing on Fox. Once you’ve registered, or tuned in on the TeeVee, pull up your Barca-lounger, pop [...]

What a week.  Chat away!

It’s always the quiet ones… Behold the Shadow Governor.  It looks like Todd Palin really did live up to his nickname. A huge quantity of emails from the State of Alaska have been released – not for the $15 Million originally quoted to MSNBC who made the records request almost a year and a half [...]

After the revelation on Mudflats Wednesday that the Palins had not reported the existence of multiple buildings on their land near Safari Lake in Petersville, Alaska to the tax assessor, the story has spread. An excellent article by Rachel D’Oro of the Associated Press soon followed the Huffington Post piece, with reactions from the Palins’ [...]

We’ve had a good solid four months of winter now.  And thanks to the marmots who apparently hibernated right through Alaska’s official “Marmot Day” on February 2nd, the news is not good. Sleeping right through the designated shadow analysis period,  it appears as though the marmots have assured us a few more months. So, it becomes necessary [...]
