Open Thread – Stress Reduction
This actually works really well.
Open “Thread”
Yesterday, I was able to capture a second-degree felony assault of quotation marks. The perpetrator is still being sought for “questioning.”
Open Thread – Can’t Get There from Here
From my Fairbanks friend, the talented and incomparable Jamie Smith. Check out his work at Ink & Snow.
Mitt Romney’s French Connection
By Jim Wright What do you call a man who speaks multiple languages? A polyglot. What do you call a man who speaks two languages? Bilingual. What do you call a man who only speak one language – and poorly at that? An American. Goddamned right. There’s only one language worth knowing and that’s English American. Speak it loud, speak it [...]

Open Thread – Happy New Year!
For me, this pretty much sums it up. I never thought I’d be on the side of the one dousing the elderly with pepper spray, but… Go 2012! Wishing you all more love, directed energy, optimism, good work, health, and happiness for the new year.

We Won! Alaska Takes Two of the Top Ten Most Bizarre Political Ads (video)
Are we really surprised that Alaska is overrepresented in anything having to do with bizarre politics? No, we are not. Inspired by the very strange Herman Cain ad, in which his campaign manager, as a finale, takes a nice deep drag off a half-smoked cigarette, followed by a cutaway to an extreme closeup of Herman [...]
Open Thread – GOPumpkins from AAAA! to ZZzzzz….
Well, I had good intentions. I was going to put up pictures of Jack O’Lanterns with the faces of each of the Republican candidates for President and make you pick which one was the scariest. But my little plan, as compelling as it was, fell short. Why? Because apparently, people who will carve pumpkins to [...]
