This photo of a rally sign from the D.C. Restore Sanity Rally came from Mudflatter Cassie Jeep Pike Palin! Anyone else who wants to send a photo of a rally you attended, pass them along to akmuckraker@yahoo(dot)com!

Time to rally! I will be headed out tomorrow at the crack of dawn for a whirlwind trip to D.C. to attend the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear with John Stewart and Steven Colbert, and thousands of their closest friends. I calculated that I’ll be in the air about as long as I’ll be [...]

  Well, we’ve been having some fun with anagrams back here at Mudflats Central. Here are some of the best ones we found.  You can have fun creating your own HERE.  Do share the good political ones in the comments! Lisa Ann Murkowski – I’m a Liars Skunk Now Joseph Wayne Miller – Enjoy Swampier [...]

Lisa Murkowski has said that she’s not ruling out a third party run should she not come out the winner of the Republican Senatorial primary. There are still more than a thousand votes yet to be counted, and it appears that Miller will likely walk away with the nomination. What does Miller think of this? [...]

Never have the mudflats been quite so lyrical! This is from Bill Nye – The Science Guy. Enjoy!

Guess what!  We’ve just had a whole herd of trolls amble into our back room!  I haven’t seen so much excitement back there in a while.  Apparently they all followed the trail from the Christian Science Monitor that linked here a couple days ago.  There were so many to pick from, it was a difficult [...]

I got the video link in an email from my good friends in Denver and then saw that Immoral Minority had posted it yesterday. This is the funniest YouTube I have EVER seen about Palin! Asian news has now added the CGI animation component to encourage more viewers to tune in.  While the audio is a broadcaster reporting the [...]

(UPDATE:  Another opportunity to “brave the rain” today is by attending the “Town Hall Meeting on Crime.” Put on by the East Anchorage Legislators and Assemblymembers, I’ll be attending to here answers directly from Anchorage Police Chief Mew.  Please be at East High Commons by 7:00 pm!) Those Alaskans prone to a more cynical outlook might say that [...]

After I moved to Alaska in 1991, I was quite surprised when I realized that Alaska is not full of granola-crunchin’, bunny snugglin’, tree-huggin’, biodegradable cleaning supply usin’ environmental activists whose main focus is maintaining their pristine wilderness.  Who knew? It’s been a twenty year learning process to understand Alaskans and their relationship with wildness.  [...]

It’s been a bit difficult to smile these days.  Images of dead turtles, oil-soaked pelicans, and delicate wetland ecosystems covered in brown slime fill our eyes. There is no real end in sight, and the despair that comes from such an enormous catastrophe just doesn’t seem to have adjectives big enough to describe it. And [...]

I’ve got a real treat for you tonight, Mudflatters!  It’s time for ”Troll of the Week.”  There are all kinds of trolls that pop up in the back room of the Mudflats.  I suppose it’s kind of like the “mud room.”  They get in there and I can fling them out into the mudflats before they [...]

Here’s the latest from flyinureye. Did I mention…. ich bin ein flyinureye fan!

Another great one from flyinureye! Be sure to check out his new blog HERE!

Those of you who have been jonesing for some new Tina Fey/Palin material will not be disappointed. My personal favorite on the Sarah Palin Network is Elites. And then there’s Todd! Donned in Arctic Cat gear, the character Todd gets to fulfill his switcheroo fantasy and become….. the Trooper. Er… I mean “cop!” Although Fey [...]
