Well, I guess this could have the silver lining of getting Noon to the Lower 48 more frequently: Cutting Alaska’s health care costs by sending employees out of state for cheaper treatment might work to trim budgets, but even so it may not be in the state’s best interest, say some who would have to […]

I’m starting to think my governor might actually be mentally ill: Gov. Sarah Palin surprised lawmakers Tuesday by forwarding the names of three appointees to the single open state Senate seat. T
Steven Taylor: [Calling for Sen. Begich’s resignation because the Bush administration employed shitty prosecutors] reinforces the notion that she isn’t a statesman or a leader, but rather focu
Always remember that the free market is always vastly more efficient and less wasteful than government: New state gift disclosures show it cost Liberty Legal Institute and the two law firms working with it $185,000 to represent six Alaska legislators in an unsuccessful lawsuit to halt their colleagues’ “Troopergate” investigation. The legislators listed a $25,000 […]
Huh. Has anyone ever seen Olbermann and Poe in the same room? I’m hoping this guy wins the nomination next year, if for no other reason than to freak Palin out on a daily basis.
Weird day up here in The Crazy State. (1) Sherry “Fuckin’ Redneck” Johnson — the maybe, sort-of someday mother-in-law of Bristol Palin — has apparently been smelling a bi
There’s really nothing quite so wonderful as living in a community that’s become a regional hot spot for pertussis because hundreds and hundreds of assholes refuse to immunize their children. We’ve had 80 reported cases since July. Fantastic. Juneau has endured similar fake controversies in recent years, and as expected, the objections to sound public […]
I think Kim du Toit has been reading The Corner lately: [A]n increasingly large cohort of America in the lower 48 (and probably Hawaii) are p—-ies. They have no clue where their food comes from, the
Like everyone, I’m eagerly awaiting the final count in Alaska’s Senate election. The final 24,000 ballots will be counted today, with a few absentee ballots trickling in through Wednesday.
Hell’s bells… The latest tally reflects the counting of absentee ballots — about 40,000 of them — and will soon be incorporating about 35,000 more from around the state. Most of the remaining votes appear to be from outlying areas of the state where Begich should do very well. Final results, though, won’t be available […]
America’s Governor, responding to a question that no one had actually asked: I think OK, it provides opportunity, again, to do things right up here as the governor. And to make sure that, if tho
Steve Conn has some interesting observations on the race in Ohio, where Democratic turnout may have proven less of a factor in the race than the degree to which Republicans simply stayed home. In the
