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 [...]

Looking for a fun way to kick off your weekend?  If you’re in Anchorage, and are even remotely engaged in the political process, this might trump movie night, or dinner out, or a quiet evening relaxing.  What kind of hot date could be better than any of these possibilities?  How about gazing deeply into the eyes of [...]

CC, host of KUDO 1080am’s midday show “Cutting Edge” will be talking today with Walt Monegan! As you know, Walt Monegan is the ex-Commissioner of Public Safety, whose firing resulted in the Legislative ethics investigation of Governor Sarah Palin.  It’s also the investigation that found her guilty of abusing her power by violating the Alaska [...]

You all may remember the horrendously self-righteous, condescending response of Senator Fred Dyson to letters asking him to hold the current administration accountable for violating ethics and the law. Here’s the latest member of the Legislature to weigh in and tell the citizens what he thinks. This response comes from Mike Doogan. Mike Doogan is [...]

It’s official.  Tomorrow, former Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan will file his paperwork, and throw his hat in the ring as a candidate for the Anchorage mayoral seat about to be vacated by current Mayor Mark Begich.  Begich will head to Washington D.C. as Alaskas Junior Senator and leave the Chair of the Anchorage Assembly, [...]

I have received no less than three emails from constituents of Fred Dyson who were seeing red, after contacting him regarding Governor Sarah Palin’s ethics scandal. We all know that Sarah Palin was found guilty of abusing her power and violating the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.  I’ll quote you right from the giant green [...]

Today I bestow the some day coveted Mudflats Gold Nugget Award to none other than the Anchorage Daily News. They have, in the past, been the recipient of its sister award, The Moose Nugget, but let’s not ruin the mood. Today,  they did good. In a well-worded, concise summary of the current synopsis of the Troopergate [...]

Shhh. Those of you in the Lower 48 (+Hawaii)…be verrrry quiet…. Hear that? You may just be able to make out the sound of a whole lot of Alaskans throwing open their windows, leaning out, and yelling, “WE’RE MAD AS HELL! AND WE’RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!” (Remember that movie?) Who’s yelling? Progressive [...]

You may be hearing about how Sarah Palin has decided to cooperate with the Troopergate investigation. Most people who haven’t been following the ins and outs of this whole sordid affair, may think that this is a good thing. They may think she’s had a change of heart. They may have heard something about another [...]

Alaska politics is making strange bedfellows these days. Last week Wasilla conservative Republican, and Alaska State Senate President Lyda Green spoke with KUDO, the progressive talk radio station. Green was one of Palin’s mentors at the beginning of her career. But years went by, and the two began to disagree. There were power-plays, and barbs [...]
