The Alaska Public Offices Commission (APOC) is in the process of updating the regulations covering the three areas within its purview: Campaign disclosure, Regulation of lobbying, and Legislative and Public Official financial disclosure.  Usually, this process is done by making the changes public on the APOC website and then through a series of formal meetings where [...]

Thanks to Mudflatter G_Katz for sending in these great pictures of a vehicle (at least we think it’s a vehicle under all those stickers) spotted in a local shopping mall. Do you have bumperstickers? Share your slogans in the comments. The only sticker on my car, is the classic No Pebble Mine sticker that can [...]

By Don Millard (@OTOOLEFAN) “Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper’s bell of an approaching looter.” – Ayn Rand Ayn Rand was out of her Vulcan mind. This is a simple fact that can be verified by anyone with even minimal Google skills. [...]

Thanks to Mudflatter WP, Brian had a fabulous trip to Peru! Here is a picture of him at the Incan archeological site of Raqchi, where the temple of Wiracicha is found.

Well, that didn’t take long. The new House GOP majority has stepped out with a bold new plan for the American people, specifically women. The limits on federal funding for abortion except for the cases of rape and incest, are now under assault by definition. For years, federal laws restricting the use of government funds [...]

I know this isn’t the first sunrise picture I’ve posted recently, and fair warning – it won’t be the last. It’s hard, when it’s been dark for so long, not to be excited to sit over morning coffee and watch the show. It’s free entertainment at its best with a free shot of Vitamin D. [...]

~Thick and fast they came at last, and more, and more, and more! What the Shuck? Forgive me for that WTS? moment… I couldn’t resist. Before we get out the oyster knife and cocktail sauce, here’s a question for you all. What’s more to your liking, a roundup post, or several shorter posts during the [...]

Tune in Saturday at 4pm, and Sunday at 9am to KYES Channel 5 for Moore Up North!  The show films Thursday nights at 5:15 at the Taproot Cafe on Spenard Road. The photo shows this week’s panel beginning (ironically on the far left) with Tom Brennan, Jill Burke from the Alaska Dispatch, and (also ironically [...]

I’ve been regularly blogging about Sarah Palin since before she got the VP nod. And it takes a lot for me to be flabbergasted by anything she says. At this point, I kind of feel like I’ve pretty much seen it all. I have a big callous on my brain where all the Palin information [...]

This painting entitled “Rescue Dog” is from the University of Alaska’s Museum of the North in Fairbanks. You’ve all helped me before with identifying the artist when I was too captivated by the work to remember to take a picture of the little info card. I couldn’t stop looking at it while I was there, [...]

Where to begin? It’s kind of like a hybrid of Sarah Palin’s “book” America by Heart, and a bad hangover. She was kind enough to dumb it down for the masses, though, to make it sound all “real” and everything. And it’s impressive how much tripe she was able to stuff in this delusion sandwich. [...]

If there’s one thing we appreciate here at Mudflats Central, it’s a good olive. Whether it’s in a martini, or a bowl, in a spread, or a garnish, the olive (in our opinion) has the culinary ability to heal many sorrows. But, that being said, like all good things… when they go bad, they go [...]
