You are watching a TV show about transgender issues with two transgender panelists and the discussion ranges over just about every area you can imagine given the topic, and you are old enough to remember when Rob and Laura couldn’t sleep in the same bed on TV even though they were married.
Throw the bums out!
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen something as pathetic as our esteemed leaders in Juneau begging the press corps to carry their message to Alaskans that there just isn’t enough money in the budget for frivolities like education or health care. There is obviously enough money for the really important things like Knik Arms Bridge but not to expand Medicaid to those people so silly as to have been born poor.
I have restrained myself from advocating for any specific program threatened with cuts because I believe that if these programs are important enough to Alaskans, then Alaskans
Allergies anyone?
I don’t know what’s blowing in Alaska’s air but I haven’t sneezed this much since… well, since ever. What the hell?
Ah Alaska
Where the legislature slinks out of town in the middle of the night with their tails between their legs having done nothing more than ensuring that their rich buddies still get all the state subsidies they want.
Nepal
Nepal is one of the many places my sister and I have traveled. The people there were so kind and sweet. The pictures I’m seeing of their country now just breaks my heart. I send them wishes for their peace and comfort.
Which is more embarrassing?
The Alaska State Legislature or the US Congress? I guess it depends on which body is meeting that day. What is wrong with us that we keep electing these clowns? Or do we do it deliberately for our own entertainment figuring it’s cheaper than a movie ticket?

This gives further credence to my theory that the reason Republicans are so hard on government employees is because they know that they themselves are some of the worse government employees imaginable.
Every year our legislators troop down to Juneau, all bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready for the challenge of creating the needed laws and budgets to keep the state going another 12 months. And every year we are treated to the sight of three months of a
Dentists
One of my best friends is a dentist’s wife. Another best friend is her husband the dentist. In fact, I have known quite a few dentists who were pretty wonderful people. So why is it that I still come home and burst into tears after any dental visit that is more invasive than a cleaning?
Why people will vote for Hillary
Because she’s more of a man than all the male Republicans running for the nomination.
This is wrong on so many levels
So Governor Walker has directed his fish and game people to spare the black bears of Government Hill and relocate them. So he can interfere in decisions made in departments he oversees. Yet he claims he couldn’t do anything about his AG joining the lawsuit going to the Supreme Court in an effort to uphold Alaska’s ban on same sex marriage. I guess bears are important enough for him to interfere but people aren’t.
