Palin’s Episode of ‘Lost’ – Limo Now Under Bus
I thought about this last night. And then I thought about it over breakfast. I hadn’t planned on saying anything but it just kept bugging me. I kept hearing that little voice that said, “Blog me! Blog me!” Sometimes the muse cannot be denied. So, here we go. Sarah Palin’s limo driver got lost for [...]

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 [...]
Back Through the Looking Glass with Sarah Palin
Alright, you’re going to need lots of equipment for this one. Looking glass? Check. Time Machine? Check. Protective forehead padding? Check. First, you’ll need to watch this: “There were numerous instances where she said things that were not accurate that ultimately the campaign had to deal with, and that opened the door to criticism that [...]

Voices from the Flats – Palin Critic’s Attorney on Being “Named” in Going Rogue
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 [...]
Chapter Four – Going Rogue (Part 3 of 3)
Page 292 Before the debate a campaign consultant made a comment about her weird vocal inflections. She’s been talkin’ the same way for 44 years and she’s not going to change now. “Besides, I thought of all the money Tina Fey was making imitating me; I didn’t want to screw up her SNL thing by [...]
Chapter Three – Drill, Baby, Drill (Part 2 of 2)
Pages 153-164 AGIA and ACES (Alaska Gasline Inducement Act and Alaska’s Clear and Equitable Share) I’m going to let this one lie, because you could basically write a book about it all on its own. It’s particular to Alaska, and it’s wonky. Good people fall on both sides of this issue. Some people I know [...]
Chapter Three – Drill, Baby, Drill (Part One)
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 [...]
Rogue Nuggets – The Second Course
Digested your first helping of rogue nuggets yet? It helps if you wash them down with a nice tall glass of Maalox. All ready for a second helping? Got yer mavericky dipping sauce and your stack of napkins? Alrighty then. Grab your knife and fork (do not use them on yourself no matter how desperate [...]
Palin to Media – “Quit Findin’ Things Out!”
Well Palin’s book is not even out yet, but the dam has burst. The floodgates are open. The rogue has hit the fan. Why? Because something has happened that Sarah Palin, her ghostwriter Lynn Vincent and her editor never anticipated. That darn media is at it again, only this time they’ve sunk to a new [...]
Quit Makin’ Things Up – Palin Gets Called Out by the Democratic Party
I get lots of email from political organizations on both sides of the aisle. I like to know what we’re up to. And I like to know what THOSE guys are up to. I can’t read all of them, and they know this. So they try to capture my attention with catchy subject lines like [...]
Sarah Palin Busted by Weather Underground?
It’s a lazy slow news day here in Anchorage. Seems like a good morning to have a bit of sleuthing fun. A reader familiar with Juneau had noticed something unusual in the recent Human Events interview with Sarah Palin. I was so focused on the fact that apparently our Governor thought she’d be able to [...]
