In Lt. Gov race, campaign disclosures reveal more than just $$.
Midnight on July 26th was the cutoff for the first 30-day reporting period for the 2010 Campaigns. The Anchorage Daily News highlighted mostly the candidates for Governor. However, when I started perusing the candidate’s reports, I was looking for items of “special interest” and the Lt. Governor’s race caught my eye. On the Republican side, I [...]
Memorial Day in Anchorage–Faux pas or Freudian Slip?
Sometimes, one just needs to show up to get a story. On a really good day, one can show up and get several. I attended the Anchorage Memorial Day Ceremony at the Veterans Memorial downtown at Delaney Park…a multiple-block strip of park land that Anchorageites logically call “The Park Strip.” Not only is attending the [...]
Another Palin Flaming Pants Moment – Baby Burke Still Lives.
Really? Must we really go ‘there’ again? (shakes fist in the air) Let the record show, that she is the one that brought it up. And let the record also show that (I know this is going to come as a bit of a shock to you) Sarah Palin lied. Again. And finally, let the [...]
The Eddie Burke Show Goes Off the Air – And We Enjoy a Moment of Radio Silence…
Today, on the Shannyn Moore Show, I got to break the news on KUDO 1080am that right wing talk radio host Eddie Burke’s show on KBYR has gone dark. >poof!< Lights out. The man who put the “S” in Racist (see above) is on the air no more. Burke says he resigned, others say it was the “you can’t [...]
Ending ‘Rascism’ in Anchorage – One Hour at a Time
A “Rascist.” We were never quite sure what it was… a hybrid of fascism and racism, or just someone who can’t spell his own intolerance. But whatever it is, there’s an hour less of it every day in Anchorage. That’s right folks, Eddie Burke, the local radio hatemonger on KBYR 700-am and Sarah Palin’s golden [...]
Bob Poe on the Eddie Burke Show…
OK, normally I don’t ever suggest anyone listen to Eddie Burke. I do sometimes, just so you don’t have to. But this one intrigued me. Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bob Poe will be on The Eddie Burke Show today. In his own words, he will be “challenging Eddie Burke to embrace the post-Palin Alaska.” Hmmm. According [...]
Speaking Up.
There’s a moving op ed piece in today’s Anchorage Daily News. Grace Jang, a Korean-American journalist had an encounter with none other than right wing talk show host Eddie Burke, Governor Palin’s golden boy, and unofficial mouthpiece for the administration. It didn’t go well. On May 18, my photographer and I are invited to a conservative [...]
The Palin Administration’s $64,000 Question.
So, what’s the $64,000 question? Ethics watchdog Linda Kellen Biegel just asked it, apparently. She made a State of Alaska records request to find out what kind of communication has been going on between the governor’s office, right-wing shock jock Eddie Burke, and Anchorage Daily News gossip columnist Sheila Toomey. After Bill McAllister, Palin’s communication [...]
Major Announcement! Sarah Palin is on Twitter!
Sarah Palin’s communications director Bill McAllister announced today that (drumroll please)……… Sarah Palin has a Twitter account. No, I’m not kidding. That’s the big breaking news that Eddie Burke promoted on KBYR. Why does she have this Twitter account? Because there are so many lies and distortions in the media, that she needs a way [...]
