Palin’s Legal Defense Fund Isn’t. (Updated)
Today in the Hotel Captain Cook a press conference was held in the “Advenuture Room” and as I settled in to my seat I thought to myself, what a perfect location. The purpose of the press conference was to discuss the ruling on an ethics complaint filed against Sarah Palin almost a year ago. [...]

Palin’s Legal Defense Fund Shell Game **UPDATED**
Yesterday, I was alerted to an entry by Sarah Palin’s lawyer, Thomas Van Flein, on the Palin Mansour Facebook Page (I bolded the information required to make a few salient points): Yesterday we learned that another “ethics” complaint that was filed against Governor Palin was dismissed as baseless. (If you are counting, the Governor is 26-0-1 regarding such complaints or [...]

Ethics Complaint Filed – Palin Still Begging Money from the Public
Those of you counting ethics complaints on your fingers and toes are about to run out soon. Yesterday another ethics complaint was filed against ex-governor Sarah Palin by her one-time political ally, Republican Andrée McLeod.

Roguey Rules & Regs for Palin’s Book Signing Leaked! (Updated)
Oops. Don’t you hate it when things are “inadvertently distributed” at work? Or when you’ve got to explain a … errr….”miscommunication?” Such is the plight of our friends at the largest shopping mall in the history of ever – Mall of America in Minnesota. So, what leaked was inadvertently distributed? And what did they let [...]
Voices from the Flats – Undisclosed: What Palin’s Financial Report Left Out
By Linda Kellen Biegel Blue Oasis *************************** Sarah Palin filed her final POFD (Public Officer Financial Disclosure) on time according to APOC (Alaska Public Offices Commission) rules. However, Palin has proven herself to be selective as to which rules she chooses to follow and how completely she follows them. For example, we’ve seen nothing “disclosed” [...]
Palin Says Give, Give, Give til it Hurts.
I know what you’ve all been thinking. Yeah, there’s SarahPAC, and yes there’s Sarah Palin’s legal defense fund, The Alaska Fund Trust, and you’ve donated to both. You may have even donated to the campaign. But you’ve been frustrated because you want to find a fresh new way to open your wallet in the name [...]
Hey, Alaska! Palin Thinks You’re Stoopid!
It’s interesting to seethe spin coming from the Palin camp regarding the newly discovered illegality of Palin’s legal defense fund, The Alaska Fund Trust. Trustee Kristan Cole is spinning so hard in her panicky 3-page press release, you might as well just give her a funny hat and call her a whirling dervish. Part of the basis for [...]
Shoveling Through Kristan Cole’s Press Release…
Boots? Check. Shovel? Check. Aspirin? Check. Flask? Check. OK, looks like we’re ready to go on a field trip, and shovel our way through yesterday’s press release from Kristan Cole, trustee for The Alaska Fund Trust (aka Sarah Palin’s legal defense fund). Stick with me and don’t get separated, or we may never find you [...]
Alaska Fund Trust – Who Knew?
Well, the dust-storm kicked up yesterday by the leaking of the investigator’s findings regarding the Alaska Fund Trust is still raging. Presumably taken off-guard, the Palin administration and the Alaska Fund Trust have been scrambling. A three-page, single-spaced, 10 pt. type press release just came from Kristan Cole, the Trustee of the Alaska Fund Trust. [...]
Palin Ethics Complaint #13…a Baker’s Dozen (Updated)
Another ethics complaint was filed today against Governor Sarah Palin. That makes a baker’s dozen! Somewhere there’s got to be a lawyer who will charge for the first twelve and do the 13th one free. You know….like a punch card. Eagle river resident Kim Chatman charges that Palin’s newly formed “Alaska Fund Trust” violates the sections of [...]
“Alaska Fund Trust” – It’s the New SarahPAC!
SarahPAC is so….yesterday. All the cool kids are now throwing their hard-earned money to Alaska Fund Trust!
