Today, a brand new ethics complaint was filed against Sarah Palin. No, you’re not reading an old post by mistake. This is a new generation of ethics complaint. Ethics 2.0, if you will. It has been filed based on information revealed when ethics watchdog Andrée McLeod reviewed emails she obtained in response to a public [...]

Palin Throws Bus Under the Bus In a display of almost poetic metaphorical beauty, Sarah Palin has now thrown the bus…under the bus.  That’s right, she’s now given up (at least in part) the Rogue on Wheels; the bus of the people; the Palin Express, in favor of winging around the country on a $4000/hr. [...]

Last time it was two DJs from Montreal who cooked up a prank that had Sarah Palin VP candidate on the phone with someone she thought was French President Nicholas Sarkozy.

I read a couple weeks ago, when the announcement was made that Going Rogue [...]

Wondering what to get that fringe right-wing conservative kid on your Christmas list this year? They’ve got all the realistic plastic guns. They’ve got the Corporate version of Monopoly. But I bet they don’t have THIS! Help! Mom! Radicals Are Ruining My Country! spoofs on leading Democrats, President and adoring media. A new children’s book [...]

Obama Campaign Manager David Plouffe has been outspoken lately about former VP candidate and almost-one-term governor Sarah Palin. Last week he recounted that: “Obama and I had a long talk late that afternoon to evaluate Palin. ‘I just don’t understand how this ends up working out for McCain,’ he said. ‘In the long term, I [...]

It’s time for Republicans to start eating their Young.  Don Young, that is. It seems that our “Congressman for All Alaska” decided to vote with his feet on Thursday and showed up with bells on to Michele Bachmann’s “Superbowl of Freedom.”  That’s right, we’ve only got one U.S. House Representative and  he shows up at [...]

This just in from Dennis Zaki. A local KTUU Channel 2 reporter asks US Senator Lisa Murkowski who she is, how to spell her name, and what her job title is. Murkowski has been in office for nearly 7 years and the number one station in Alaska has a reporter assigned to the senator who [...]

Today on FOX… “The feeling in some circles is that this health care train has left the station with the president at the wheel, and Republicans better jump on board,” says our host. “Well I’m the cow on the tracks,” proclaimed Steele.  “You’re gonna have to stop the train to get this cow off the [...]

It seemed like a fairly slow news day, which allows one to hear the steady drip, drip, drip of news about you-know-who.  So, let’s just dive in and cover it all at once. And Let the Typos Begin! With a title like that, it was bound to happen.  And it will keep happening.  But the [...]

Yukon Kings in the New York Times The New York Times has taken notice of the fishing woes of the Lower Yukon this year.  Officials with that department and the federal Fish and Wildlife Service, which jointly manage the fishery, say variations in ocean conditions related to climate change or natural cycles are probably the [...]

It was a long, but beautiful ride to the Alaska State Fairgrounds in Palmer last night.  Palmer is the begrudging neighbor of the now better known and more infamous Wasilla.  Palmer is more of an old-time, original Matanuska Valley colony, farming-type community.  Wasilla is more…  Wasilla.   When their high scool teams play, it’s the Moose [...]

We remember from the election that you can put lipstick on a pig, but can you put rouge on an elephant? Maybe, maybe not.
