Parnell’s Contemptible Appointment
In a recess appointment, Governor Sean Parnell has named Dianne Blumer to be Alaska’s new Labor Commissioner.

Quitter 2.0 – Parnell Breaks Hockey Stick, Says ‘Puck You.’

The Hoodie of the North…
A friend of mine recently passed through the Anchorage International airport and was asked to remove his hoodie. The thuggish and menacing hoodie, which has been the subject of tragedy and controversy, is apparently also all the rage with terrorists in the air. This particular hoodie had no zippers or grommets, and the pockets were empty. [...]
Palin Says Obama Wants to Return to Days of Slavery
If you haven’t heard this one, ready yourself. I don’t know exactly how to tell you to ready yourself, except to say that this particular bowl of Palin word salad has the metaphorical equivalent of a dead rat at the bottom.

Palin Calls Afghans “Savages” and is “Tired of the Pettiness” in the GOP.
Yes, she can still do it. After all these years, Sarah Palin can still drop my jaw. This is from an interview with Greta Van Susteren that is scheduled to air today on FOX. My comments are in red. “I’ll bet you the majority of Alaskans are still of the mindset that it must be [...]
Stapletongue Lashes Out Against Game Change
She’s back! It’s like the sighting of a rare, and spectacular species of bird – one you thought might be extinct, and whose unmistakable song makes your ears bleed.
