I have a little bit of personal experience with this Palin email thing. However, mine were so redacted, they were no fun at all. So, like many others, I’ve enjoyed making up my own searches of the awesome 2011 Palin Email Database, courtesy of MSNBC and Crivella West. The REAL fun happens when I’m searching [...]

September 6th’s Anchorage Daily Newspublished an interview by reporter Kyle Hopkins with both Alaska US Senate Candidates Scott McAdams (D) and Joe Miller (R). In it, Scott McAdams said this about his opposition: Speaking on a cell phone from Fairbanks, McAdams said “reasonable, independent and moderate people are frightened right now by the extremity of [...]

Jeanne did a great overview of yesterday’s press conference and the ensuing report from Independent Counsel Tim Petumenos on the illegality of Palin’s Alaska Fund Trust.  Of course, now the hamsters running the Palin spin machine are all running their furry little butts off and some amazing lies are being tossed out there as if [...]

Here’s something that will make you all chuckle.  I remember back in the early days of Troopergate when it was first being reported that the governor had it in for a certain State Trooper named Mike Wooten who was formerly married to her sister Molly.  Rumors were beginning to percolate that the newly removed former [...]

[This story is cross-posted at The Huffington Post] “Going Rogue,” is the title of Sarah Palin’s soon-to-be released memoir. It’s cute, it’s catchy and it will sell some books. The 400-page tome will hit the shelves on November 17th, with a massive first printing of 1.5 million copies.  And each one of those book jackets is [...]

“In the past two years, the state of Alaska has spent millions of dollars processing ethics complaints, public records requests, and related lawsuits.” That was the claim coming from the office of Governor Sarah Palin, who likes to use the phrase “frivolous ethics complaints.”  That was nine days ago. Today, we learn that “millions of [...]

Greetings to you my fair and noble Mudflatters! Fear not my good friends. For thy Attorney General which once was, hath not slipped away ne’er to be seen again. He hast now, retooled his ambitions political, and ridden forth from shame and scandalous doings upon a new steed.  He comes as the sun at dawn upon new fields, [...]

My “Things to Blog About” list has gotten quite out of hand, so it’s time for a catch up post! ***A Strange Astrological Conjunction… At least, that’s what I think it’s called.  Today, February 11, is Sarah Palin’s birthday.  Then, exactly at midnight, when it becomes February 12, in a brilliant flash of ”creationist vs. evolutionist” irony, [...]

The big black cloud that has been following Talis Colberg has finally chased him out of the Attorney General’s office. Which excuse from the “Big Three Excuses” did he choose? A) Need to spend more time with family. B) I’m becoming a “distraction” C) I’m going to pursue other opportunities Let’s listen…. “I determined that [...]

This morning, the Senate passed SR  5 by a vote of 16-1 that found the witnesses that ignored their legislative subpoenas in the Troopergate ethics investigation of Governor Palin, are guilty of contempt.   There will be no penalty for failure to appear, due to “circumstances” but the contempt is there in black and white. Behold: BE IT [...]

Finally we have an update in the email saga.  Seems like the Governor’s office isn’t ready, after four months, to turn them over.  Here’s a press release from the Alaska Democratic Party: The Alaska Democratic Party (ADP) has objected to a request from Governor Sarah Palin’s Office for another two months or more of additional [...]

That’s right, embattled Alaska Attorney General Talis Colberg is all about freedom of personal choice.  He thinks people have the right to choose  whethere to ignore legislative subpoenas or not.  He feels it’s a personal decision between you, your governor and your Attorney General.  And the legislature has no business interfering, and telling you what [...]

We’ve been waiting to find out what the Legislature plans to do about the findings of the Branchflower Report, which came to the conclusion that Governor Sarah Palin abused her power in the dismissal of Walt Monegan from his position as Commissioner of Public Safety. I like to boil things down to a basic level, [...]

We’ve all been listening to Sarah Palin for the last couple days saying things like “Both the lieutenant governor and I have offered to fly out there and see what we can do personally.”  And then we hear Nick Turner, the local resident whose letter and cry for help, resulted in the current media firestorm about [...]

If you were awake this past Sunday at 9am, and found yourself at the local Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Anchorage, you’d have been in for a treat.  CC from KUDO 1080am was the featured speaker at the UU Forum.  Her topic was “Ethical Government.  Who Cares?”  The talk was excellent, as were the follow-up comments [...]
