Alaskans for Truth Rally, September 2008 As you may have noticed, the blogging has shifted into low gear for a little while.  Lots going on in my other life, and attention must be paid to the job that pays the bills before I head out to Netroots Nation next week!  I’m looking forward to the [...]

Alaskans for Truth Rally, September 2008 Downtown Anchorage, Alaska

Here’s another wonderful homage to Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan who has cut $150,000 from vital city services, including the fire department. Lately we’ve been asking ourselves if he’s actually trying to be a one-term mayor. That’s fine with me, don’t get me wrong. Here’s the latest. In his latest attempt to fulfill his role as [...]

Alaska Women on Sarah Palin Alaskans for Truth Rally, September 2008

Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com Like a moth to the flame, Sarah Palin keeps coming back to Bill O’Reilly.

There was the Alaska Women Reject Sarah Palin [...]

Here is a great picture from Mudflatter DB.  It’s Holgate Glacier in Resurrection Bay.  I’ve been there may times – one of my favorite places.  Holgate glacier is one of the many glaciers that feed of the Harding Ice Field, and is located off Aialik (Scary) Bay.

Well, lookie here. A video from SarahPAC! They are doing something besides paying $14,000 to have the wings of her private jets de-iced after all. I was beginning to wonder. I’ve already had a few people ask me my take on the video, so I decided to sit down, sip a nice cold glass of [...]

As a psychology major, this one fascinates me. My neighbor and fellow blogger Craig has written a commentary in the Alaska Dispatch on my recent post about Prince William Sound. He not only didn’t like the essay it seems, he also didn’t even like the fact that I took the trip at all.  Let’s check [...]
