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?
Why can’t the legislature figure out how to adjourn on time
Once again Alaskans are being treated to the spectacle of a legislature unable to finish its business in the time allotted. 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?

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.
Just want to be sure I’ve got this right
Very rich corporations pay their employees a less than living wage. Their employees then use government benefits to survive. Those benefits come from my tax dollars. So I am, in essence, underwriting the corporation’s obscene profits.
Man, talk about welfare queens!
Denali
I have had the privilege of caretaking a golden eagle named Denali while his permanent caretaker is out of state. I go there every day and make sure he has water and toss him a rat or quail to eat. He jumps on whatever it is I toss and does this Charlie Chaplin walk to his perch with the food clutched tightly in one foot. Then he tries to jump up on his perch. And sometimes he just misses it and lands on the other side. I try not to laugh. After all, Denali has his dignity to consider. But
