Starting Monday, our very own Shannyn Moore will be moving her radio show from its current location at 1080am, up the dial to 1020am.  Same time, same studio, same Dave the producer, but…  she’ll be back on a Fox affiliate station.  You remember when Shannyn was on one day a week at rightie KBYR? Well, [...]

Sitting at the Taproot Cafe this evening over a glass of wine, I noticed a strange phenomenon. A steady stream of Santas, some with elves in tow began to filter in. Then came reindeer. And a grinch. I learned from those more knowledgeable than myself that this very night was “Santa Con” in Anchorage. I [...]

Yesterday, Bernie Sanders distinguished himself and became the hero of frustrated Americans who think that the current plan to deal with the Bush tax cuts fell far short of what it could have been.  Bernie Sanders found the spine of the Democratic Party. Sanders (VT-I) spent eight and a half hours standing at the podium, [...]

Bless the Mudflats Art Department. Just when you need the brilliance of the inimitable Flyinureye, there he is with another work, suitable for framing. But don’t put the glass over it or the darts will bounce. I know we all appreciate this one in an extra special way, since we are still in the process [...]

In the battle of Miller v. State of AK v. Murkowski v. Voter Intent v. Election Integrity, the next bell has sounded. Today Superior Court Judge William Carey ruled against Joe Miller on all counts in his suit against the state. Carey stated that he saw no evidence of election fraud, and allowed the state [...]

I don’t care where you live. This is your Senator. By standing up on the Senate floor for more than six hours (at this writing) and speaking for the American people, he has put himself squarely in the cross-hairs of the Republicans for 2012, when he will be running for re-election for his Vermont Senate [...]

Haven’t they suffered enough? Sarah Palin will be putting her little-used passport to work, traveling to Haiti. Yes, her old buddy Franklin Graham will accompany her on her trip. You all may remember the last time this dynamic duo visited the less-fortunate, they traveled to Western Alaska on Graham’s private jet with a one-time delivery [...]

For those of you wondering what to catch in the remaining days of the Anchorage International Film Festival, let me highly recommend M*U*S*H by none other than our very own, extremely talented Alex Stein. Alex is a Mudflatter from way back, and has been one of the many behind the scenes who have participated in [...]

By Mudflatter D All those props used in the “Everybody Loves Whales” film are on sale this week! While some were returned to LA, there is plenty left at the warehouse behind Spenard Builders Supply to entice practical-minded scavengers, like me. Remember, this movie loosely portrays an event in 1988, so don’t expect to find [...]

This was a sneaky one. I read the title of the chapter thinking it might be anything. Turns out that the hidden message of this chapter is religion. We have hit the “faith” part of “Family, Faith and Flag.” Although (spoiler alert) the next chapter is called “I Hear America Praying” so we might be [...]

Beautiful day today.

By Elstun Lauesen The Assembly Voted last night for the $435 M budget that cuts services and raises property taxes by half a mill. Basically, this budget was predicated on a set of assumptions that misrepresented facts of a greater magnitude than those alleged by Assemblymen Chris Birch, Dan Coffey and Bill Starr against then [...]

You thought I forgot, didn’t you…  No, I just needed to take a little mental break before I picked up that book again. But thanks to determination, and a darn good work ethic instilled in me by my parents, I’m here to march forward. There are nine chapters, and we’re ready to tackle number 6. [...]

I wasn’t alive when John F. Kennedy was shot, so I don’t have an “I remember where I was” story as so many do. But I remember very vividly when John Lennon was shot. I was just a kid, reading under the covers with a flashlight and had my radio playing softly. I heard the [...]

Alaska’s Democratic Senator Mark Begich made a statement yesterday that was covered in Politico and the Anchorage Daily News, calling for Joe Miller to abandon his legal challenges to the U.S. Senate election that has Lisa Murkowski unofficially declared by herself and the Associated Press as the winner of the race. “It is time for [...]
