A week ago Friday, I testified at the hearing for my first APOC complaint–Kellen vs. Thomas et al. It seemed to go very well…better than I’d hoped.  I wasn’t planning on writing another post about it until there was a decision (I didn’t want to irritate the Commission until after they decided) but I also [...]

Alright, we’re on to Chapter 3… almost half way through this tripe salad. This chapter talks about how we’re the best and we’re number one, but we’re not cocky or arrogant. We have juuuust the right blend of humility and realistic analysis of our specialness to be… well… the best. And once we realize how [...]

Another masterful creation from flyinureye! I have to say… being almost half way through her book, I share the sentiment.

SPOILER ALERT: It’s not to avoid the long arm of the law and to save your political family a lot of embarrassment, and yourself a stay at the Grey Bar Hotel.  Just thought I’d throw that out there right off the bat. So, why do “they” serve? A broad question that has no simple answer. The reasons [...]

Leslie Nielsen has passed away in Florida from complications due to pneumonia. He was 84. He will be best remembered for his hilarious deadpan comedic performances in The Naked Gun, and Airplane movies.  Here are some of his best moments.

By Pati Crofut This year the violin section in the Hiland Mountain Correctional Center Women’s String Orchestra was hit hard by attrition, good news for the inmates but bad news for the orchestra.  Cathleen was released and relocated to California.  Pam was released to a halfway house.  Angela is out.   Cassandra is at the Clitheroe [...]

Well, I was better prepared for the second half of this God awful collection of tripe that Sarah Palin calls a “chapter.” “Better prepared” means that I’d pre-medicated with a little fermented sugar cane (rum).  So, let’s not stop and think about it too much.  It’s like ripping off a Band-Aid, just get it over [...]

Buf was slightly put off by the snow, but has gotten used to it again as the weekend has progressed.  She now has trails all over the yard, and it’s looking like a little highway system.

OK, I’m saying it flat out. This chapter was crap.  It was like a crap sandwich, only the bread was also crap. Crap on crap with a side of crap.  I read it in one sitting and I kept checking ahead to see how many pages were left.  I pet the dog, I reclined on [...]

Assembly members Elvi Gray-Jackson (center back row) and Paul Honeman (second from right) greet volunteers and attendees of the Anchorage Boys & Girls Club.  Many of those in attendance at last Tuesday’s Assembly meeting gave passionate, convincing and sincere testimony in support of keeping the 7% of their budget that Mayor Dan Sullivan has cut [...]

And so we begin the blogging of the book.  Today, it’s just the Introduction, which will give us all a chance to steel ourselves for what is to come.  As usual my internal mutterings will appear in red. Page ix – The scene opens at the Boston Tea Party rally last spring.  And the first line [...]

Anyone in Anchorage who was dreaming of a white Thanksgiving got their wish today. There’s about a foot of fresh snow at my house.  It’s that great snowman-type snow that we get early in the season. Hope everyone enjoyed the day, and best of luck to you who will enter the Black Friday mayhem tomorrow!

by Linda Kellen Biegel So my rolls are rising on the stove, almost ready to pop in the oven. The apple-cranberry pies (think Dutch Apple with cranberries thrown in) are cooled and waiting to be packed up and the homemade cranberry sauce is chilling in the fridge. We’re going to Josh’s brother’s house for Thanksgiving [...]

I found something for you to be thankful for, right off the bat today. You can be thankful that you are smarter than me, and that you didn’t buy Sarah Palin’s newest book. A while back I promised to blog the new book, like I did with Going Rogue.  I have to tell you though, [...]

Well, it’s my favorite holiday, and it seems like it just happened, yet here it is back again. This particular Thanksgiving is going to be an interesting one for me. It’ll be the first Thanksgiving in almost 20 years that will not be followed by a Black Friday in retail. I have a feeling I’m [...]
