When Lisa Murkowski stood before the beaming hundreds in the lobby of the Dena’ina Center announcing her write-in candidacy, she told a moving story that served as the inspiration she needed to forge ahead.  ”I was reminded by a friend of mine from St. Paul Island that there’s no word for impossible in the Aleut [...]

  Well, we’ve been having some fun with anagrams back here at Mudflats Central. Here are some of the best ones we found.  You can have fun creating your own HERE.  Do share the good political ones in the comments! Lisa Ann Murkowski – I’m a Liars Skunk Now Joseph Wayne Miller – Enjoy Swampier [...]

Lisa Murkowski finished her first ad telling people how to vote for her properly in her doomed write-in bid to retain her senate seat.  First everyone must remember to fill in the oval, then everyone must remember that she is running for senate and not some other seat and fill in the proper line, then [...]

  Republican Lisa Murkowski has decided to attempt a write-in bid for the United States Senate, after having her head handed to her in the Alaska GOP primary.  She thinks this is a great idea and that her bid will knock off an extremist candidate, Joe Miller, and keep Alaska from going down a dangerous [...]

The tale of Farmer Joe and the Feds has taken quite an interesting turn… Let me catch you up. So, The Alaska Dispatch reported that Republican Tea Party candidate Joe Miller, who disavows all “entitlement” programs, and shuns federal money of all sorts, owns 1000 acres of farm land in Delta Junction, Alaska.  Bear in [...]

Happy Autumn-eve! Yes, it’s almost official. Hope you enjoyed the last golden rays of summer sun today, like a certain dog I know.

Last month, I took a trip to the West side of Cook Inlet. I’ve been sharing photos for the last few weeks. Here is the story that goes with them. At the end of the story is the contact information for how you can make a public comment on the Chuitna coal project by September [...]

I made my way into the Dena’ina Convention Center in downtown Anchorage where Lisa Murkowski was scheduled to make a “big announcement”.  Earlier in the day her cousin leaked the information on her Facebook page that the announcement was going to be the launch of her write-in candidacy for U.S. Senate.  I was hoping that she [...]

I took a quick video of moose in my driveway a few weeks ago, loaded it up on YouTube and then forgot to post it!  So here it is, looking a little more summery than it actually looks at the moment.  Just a goofy little Brian encounter for a Monday morning.

by Zachary Roberts The Club for Growth has endorsed Joe ‘the beard’ Miller. Who, or What is “The Club for Growth?” Personally, when I first heard about “The Club for Growth” years ago, I pictured a sunny country club where rich people went to grow their inner feelings – maybe gain respect for the little [...]

Our virtual flight has come to a close.  Here we are approaching Anchorage before landing at Merrill Field.  We’ve traveled across Cook Inlet, and flown over the incredible wilderness, wetlands, marshes, and rivers over the communities of Beluga, Tyonek and beyond. Tomorrow, I’ll share the whole story with you.  It’s a curl up and settle [...]

In this season of political signs, Anchorage print shops are bustling with activity.  But not all signs are what you might expect. Mudflatter Soapy got a surprise when he happened across a pile of signs fresh off the presses that are seemingly destined for out-of-state use. It’s reported that Sarah Palin will be in attendance when daughter Bristol appears [...]

We are approaching the end of our virtual fly-over of the beautiful region just across Cook Inlet from Anchorage.  We’re headed back across the silty grey water, passing over the mudflats and soon we’ll be landing at Merrill Field in Anchorage. I’ll soon have a story up about my trip to the area where PacRim [...]

  The supporters have been rallied, the big announcement has been made and Senator Lisa Murkowski is off and running on her whirlwind write-in campaign! So what are her actual chances of winning? 1) There is the problem of her name. Lisa Murkowski…doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue or the pen.  However, it looks like a write-in [...]

We’re all getting whiplash from the back and forth speculation about Lisa Murkowski and whether she will run or not as a write-in candidate for the United States Senate.
