Thick and fast they came at last, and more, and more, and more…   Palin Quits for Jury Duty? She’ll quit on Republican women’s groups, she’ll quit on pro-life fundraisers, she’ll quit on CPAC, she’ll quit on four colleges, she’ll quit on the great state of Alaksa. Frank Bailey said that trying to get Sarah [...]

After the turmoil and the tearing within the Alaska Republican Party this week, I wanted to get Andrew Halcro’s take on the situation. Andrew is an “effete young chap” (according to Sarah Palin), social moderate and fiscal conservative who was a 2-term Republican State Representative, and Independent Gubernatorial Candidate who ran against Sarah Palin in [...]

Those of you interested in Sarah Palin’s infamous “Dairy Gate” will want to tune in to today’s Shannyn Moore Show on KUDO 1080am in Anchorage (or live stream it HERE). Her guest today is Andrew Halcro, who has done a lot of excellent work on this issue on his blog, and will be discussing the [...]

We didn’t know he was a teabagger when we invited him. (Think Guy Noir, Private Eye.) At last week’s Moore Up North production meeting I was feeling the optimism of spring. The last few weeks have been intense shows about aerial wolf hunting and the Chuitna Coal Mine. “Let’s keep it light, next week is [...]

Governor Girl Agoniste By Donald Craig Mitchell Last July in Fairbanks, with Todd smiling at her side and Piper sitting in her lap, Sarah Palin watched Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell take the oath to fill out her term in office as Governor of Alaska. Then she vanished. For the past four months the Forty-Ninth State [...]

For those of you who missed Moore Up North on KYES Channel 5 yesterday, here is the hilarious intro with the incomparable Alice Welling in the role of Sarah Palin, and the “effete young chap” Andrew Halcro who was first introduced to the world on page 116 of Going Rogue. The rest of the show’s [...]

(L-R) John Bitney, Shannyn Moore, Anne Kilkenny, Andrew Halcro Tonight I attended the taping of Moore Up North, and what an interesting evening it was. All I have to say is tune in on Saturday (KYES Channel 5 at 4pm) and buckle your seat belts. If your couch did not come with seat belts you [...]

Once again a great beginning. Page 105-106 It’s the middle of winter, and ten degrees below zero. It’s nighttime and it’s dark. It’s Thompson Pass on the way to Valdez. Driving is “treacherous” and this area has very little traffic, hazardous conditions, and an average snow dump of 50 feet in the winter. Sarah Palin [...]

Photo – DennisZaki.com While it’s doubtful that many Alaskans feel a sense of pride that their one and only congressman has made Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington’s “Top 15 Most Corrupt Members of Congress” list, many are relieved. We know he deserves to be on there, and if it weren’t for Sarah Palin [...]

[This article is cross-posted at The Huffington Post] What a difference a year makes. A year ago today, after being stunned by McCain’s VP pick, I had finished writing a piece called “What Is McCain Thinking? One Alaskan’s Perspective.”  It’s hard to imagine a time when the country was asking “Sarah Who?” but it was [...]

I am not a rubber-necker.  Let me start off by saying that.  When there’s a bad accident on the side of the road, and the thing holding up traffic turns out to be the fact that everyone is slowing down to stare at the wreckage…I am not one of those people. That said, there are times when it’s [...]

DUNNNNGGGG…. Yes, I know.  I’m being juvenile.  But that joke always pops in my mind when I think of Congressman Don Young, and his delightful spooneristic nickname.  Yon Dung.   Now you know. What makes me think of such an unpleasant person on this beautiful summer evening, while I sip fresh lemonade and contemplate how good life [...]

Flyinureye Strikes Again! Never has anything on Mudflats been quite so amusing, and quite so disturbing at the same time.  I have learned, to my credit, never to be eating or drinking when I open an email from flyinureye! Andrew Halcro Leaves the Blogosphere…[sniff] In a post entitled “The End is Near,” one of Alaska’s most [...]

Great minds think alike, but one of them is usually quicker.  In this case, one of them was a LOT quicker.  As I was driving around town yesterday, I grumbled to myself about all the illegally posted campaign signs.  There were signs in snowbanks on the side of the highway, posted on public areas, on [...]

Wow. I’m glad I saved this one for last this evening because I’m just about speechless.  I finally had time to sit down and read the five page article in Portfolio, by Joe McGinnis entitled “Pipe Dreams” about Sarah Palin and the fantasy pipeline.  I’ve been waiting for an article like this, and Mr. McGinnis has [...]
