Madison, Winsonsin - It’s a community called Rotundaville. It boasts a medical clinic/dispensary manned by capable folks who know first aid, a food preparation/pantry area, a communal charging station for electronics, its own Facebook page, and even a family respite center. It’s a village unto its own that functions 24 hours per day, under the [...]

Looks like I’ll be taking a little more time off than I thought, Mudflatters. I got the news last night that my mom passed away, so I’ll be tending to family matters until next week. Others will pop on and leave you things to read and discuss. I debated whether to post what I’d written [...]

Today, Anchorage lost a great soul. He wasn’t a political leader, he didn’t hold office, but he did what we all should do – he showed up. And he didn’t just show up for a pet cause, or a particular belief. He showed up for all of them. He showed up for labor, and women, [...]

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, [...]

Landing from The Rachel Maddow Show on Vimeo.   I may be the last person to actually see this awesome clip from Rachel Maddow’s blog. Yes, I’m running a little behind but, better late than never. Here you can see Rachel & crew’s plane coming in for a landing in Anchorage. They discover the mudflats, [...]

I just received the sad news that we have lost a dear member of our community. Elizabeth van Brooks passed away on October 31, 2010 much too young, at the age of 46. You know her by her frequent comments and contributions using her screen name Letters from Europe. She was a Forum Moderator until [...]

For those of you who are loyal readers of the blog, I want you to bookmark the OLD blog site, in case you don’t have it any more. It’s mudflats.wordpress.com Right now it’s used for archives of all the 2008 election articles, but the old site has much bigger better faster servers than the new [...]

Today, the President plans to speak to house parties across the country at 6:30 ET, 3:30 Pacific, and 2:30 Alaska time. He’ll field questions and talk about the importance of this year’s election — and about how much each commitment to vote matters in moving America forward. The Mudflats will have a live stream available [...]

Our very own Shannyn Moore will be hosting The Thom Hartmann Program today, Thursday, September 16. Thom is winging his way cross-country and asked Shannyn to fill the coveted slot in his absence. For those of you who have been living in a cave where radio signals do not penetrate, Thom Hartmann is the number [...]

I had a great time today talking to Nicole Sandler of Radio Or Not on the occasion of the one year anniversary of Sarah Palin’s abdication from the governorship of Alaska. We talked about why Palin got elected, and where she’s headed now. The segment is about 20 minutes long. Other great interviews are also [...]

The inimitable Nicole Sandler (formerly with Air America) will be broadcasting live from Netroots Nation from 3-5pm local time.  Senate candidate Scott McAdams will be in the house.  He came to Las Vegas to network and soak in the great sessions, panels and candidate events.  He’ll be on the broadcast, as will Shannyn Moore and/or [...]

~Thick and fast they came at last, and more, and more, and more! Sarah Palin is Think Tankin’! Oh yes, it’s true.  Herself is now sharing her pearls of wisdom and governance via think tank.  Once you’ve finished dabbing your eyes from the tears of laughter, check out the whole post.  But basically the half-ex-gov [...]

In a vote of 6-5 the Anchorage Assembly voted last night to ask for an independent investigation of the fishiness surrounding the George M. Sullivan Trust which resulted in Mayor Dan Sullivan signing a $193,000 check from the city coffers to his family as payment of a so-called “life insurance policy” which may or may [...]

Hi all, Snoskred here. Whenever you move into a new home, you find things that do not work out quite as you planned when you looked at the place originally – even if you did inspect the place several times! Your bookshelf might not fit in the place you thought, or perhaps the appliances do [...]
