Open Thread – Indigo Girls!
Thursdays in the Mud has been bumped from th usual time slot on The Shannyn Moore Show, and I couldn’t be happier!
I’ll be on an hour early from noon to 1pm Alaska time because my usual 1-2:00 hour will feature The Indigo Girls! They’re playing at the Bear Tooth Thursday and Friday night, and sitting down with Shannyn on the radio beforehand.
If you’re in Anchorage, you can tune in to KOAN 1020am. In Juneau it’s KXLJ 1330am. Or you can stream it at KXLJradio.com
Well, no Open Thread today, so I’ll wish all mudpuppies and hushpuppies a happy new year on this leftover thread from yesterday.
2010 was a bad year for coal miners:

Let’s hope there are zero deaths in the coming year.
I am hoping for zero deaths
and a full report on the UBB explosion with indictments and prosecution for any who negligently contributed to those 29 deaths…

Massey’s Blankenship Retires, Refuses to Speak at UBB Hearing

First Massey. Then BP.
I can live with that as a New Year’s wish.
Prosit! To next year.
Be careful on the roads tonight pups, stay safe.
Can’t he be forced to testify???????????
Found this priceless quote over at Crooks and Liars:
“I want to help clean up the state that is so sorry today of journalism. And I have a communications degree.”
Guess who.
She’s the perfect storm of idiotry! I hope it is many years before events coalesce into creating another as stupid and mean as the Twitty Quitty.
Dog and musher fans: must catch Rogues Gallery latest post after coming home from the Gin Gin 200 race, which Colleen Robertia won overall. If this doesn’t give you a real taste of what mushing and racing is like, nothing will!

Don’t forget to watch the video of Joseph’s team running over the camera dude:

I won’t be here tomorrow night, so Happy New Year to all the mudpups! It has been quite a year, but with luck, 2011 will be even better. SWWNBN is definitely on her way out. Maybe she can share a place/cell with her best buddy, Christine the other Whiner.
Thanks, AKM and all mudpups, for all you do.
Smart American here’s to you! (raising a glass in a New Year’s toast)
Need a political chuckle?

This kid is pretty darn good at this!
Senate Campaign. I am sorry for this. My fingers and hands twitch so much it’s almost pathetic. I lose whole posts sometimes.
Ijust read that the Senate canidate with the last name no one can spell,has been declared the official winner in Alaska’s

I’m so disappointed as I’ve never been able to access Shannyn on her new radio station.
Ten or twelve years ago, I was in Columbia, SC for work related training I went to a small local college bar in the evening. One of the 4 performers that evening was Amy Ray! Very cool!
Stewart’s sentiment about O’Donnell, “The Palin runs strong with this one”, was never a truer statement! Maybe Sarah and Christine could have the same slogan: In Lies We Trust….

Uh oh. Some negatives about Sarah’s favorite communication tool:
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Education/2010/1229/School-bans-Facebook-for-a-week-five-lessons-students-learned/Stress-of-the-Facebook-twitch
Considering the woman is also addicted to her two “crack”-berries as well, I am not surprised. No wonder she is overexposing herself trying to answer all of her critics.
Whenever I see a picture of Silly Sarah holding her youngest child while focused on her two Blackberries at the same time I think she is definitely an addict. Even when she had a job with actual responsibilities, she would not have needed to be glued to her phones 24 hours a day unless she wanted to. She looks like a pre-teen girl constantly checking her face book page.
I think Tea Partiers are so convinced that people like them that they can’t believe they could really loose–that it was some sort of aberration. Of course, some Dems can be like that, too. But Tea Partiers seem particularly prone to such silliness.

Christine is demonstrating more and more that she’d like to displace Sarah. She has the looks to do it, AND she washes her hair–something Joe Miller and Sarah both need to learn how to do.
Oh, what a good time you will have! I love the Indigo Girls’ music. Enjoy!
More Palin backlash, this time from the GOP base:

Enjoy reading the top lies of the year from Politifacts:

Man! I’m old.
We had a tv JUST like that one in the picture.
Had to actually get up to change the channel to one of the other TWO channels.
LOL
LOL
Ours wasn’t that fancy. And having a remote meant you really had a lot of money because they came separately. We had three channels as well – hubby remembers only having two in North Dakota. And then there was the test pattern late at night that was somehow mesmerizing.
