Perhaps it’s because today is the worst day of the year. I should clarify- it’s the worst day of the year weather-wise. It always happens. AL-WAYS. The snow melts, the sun shines, the sky is blue, the birds of spring come back – pigeons, seagulls, Canada geese. And you start thinking… maybe this year it [...]

In a vote of 6-5 the Anchorage Assembly voted last night to ask for an independent investigation of the fishiness surrounding the George M. Sullivan Trust which resulted in Mayor Dan Sullivan signing a $193,000 check from the city coffers to his family as payment of a so-called “life insurance policy” which may or may [...]

Well, the numbers are out.  And by “the numbers,” I mean Sarah Palin’s version of a state retirement package.  Since standing on the banks of Lake Lucille on that Fourth of July eve and quitting the governorship because she didn’t feel like governing anymore, her standard of living has, shall we say, “improved.” Just in [...]

Thick and fast they came at last, and more and more and more! Mile High Club Gone Wrong A pair of young lovers were apparently too intent on matters at hand and not paying attention, resulting in tragedy.  Two eagles were found head down, wings and talons up, sticking out of a hard packed snow [...]

Saturday morning, I caught part of the Conservative Patriot Group’s hour-long show on KBYR. During one segment, I heard host Glen Biegel and other voices in the studio scolding Alaska’s Attorney General. They accused AG Dan Sullivan of unnecessarily delaying his decision whether or not to join other states’ lawsuits to block the Health Care [...]

Those of you who have been jonesing for some new Tina Fey/Palin material will not be disappointed. My personal favorite on the Sarah Palin Network is Elites. And then there’s Todd! Donned in Arctic Cat gear, the character Todd gets to fulfill his switcheroo fantasy and become….. the Trooper. Er… I mean “cop!” Although Fey [...]

Hi all, Snoskred here. Whenever you move into a new home, you find things that do not work out quite as you planned when you looked at the place originally – even if you did inspect the place several times! Your bookshelf might not fit in the place you thought, or perhaps the appliances do [...]

Remember when Sarah Palin explained that when she said “don’t retreat, reload” she really meant “get out there and vote?”  It got me thinking about this exchange between George Stephanopolous and President Obama discussing Palin’s criticism of Obama’s decision to restrict the use of nuclear weapons.  You remember Sarah Palin, right?  She’s the one that the [...]
