Farmer Joe and the Feds (Updated)

Maybe it’s the fact that he’s  Kansas born and bred, or maybe it was just the sweet smell of the great outdoors, barley, and a little extra folding money – whatever it was, senate candidate Joe Miller apparently decided after he came to Alaska, he’d try his hand at farming. Farmer Joe bought himself a thousand acres near Fairbanks.  And what did he have a yen to grow on his arable land in the sleepy hollow of Delta Junction?  Barley, it would appear. But life as a farmer/ivy league attorney is tough. Sometimes a feller could use a helping hand. Maybe something like a…

Joe Miller: Alaska’s Craziest Catch — Help Get This On the Air!

Republican candidate for US Senate, Joe Miller, burned-up the airwaves before the primary saying that cutting-off federal funds to Alaska is his highest priority as Senator. Now, he’s trying to backtrack just a few short weeks later. We’re not going to let that happen.

Joe Miller Thinks You’re Not Very Smart.

By Legal Eagle Apparently, Joe Miller doesn’t read The Mudflats.  Or if he does, he skips over my posts because he has already “mastered the law” (insert sarcastic chuckle).  So what is our favorite divorce lawyer saying today?  To paraphrase – screw the Alaska Constitution and Statehood Act, we want our land back! Yes, Mr. Miller still hasn’t learned his lesson (or stopped talking in the third person, but that’s a separate, non-legal issue).  He recently told his hometown paper that despite the inflammatory Teabagger rhetoric that he used during the primary, he’ll request money from the federal government until…
