FBI agents raided legislative offices across the state yesterday collecting evidence they apparently feel may show an unholy closeness between some Alaska legislators and Veco, our very own pipeline support company. And all I can say is, for this they needed the FBI? Seriouly, stop anyone on the street and ask them. It’s cheaper.
Blue tarp and duct tape
The only words you need to define Alaska.
When will the insanity stop
The article in the paper today says the government is not doing enough to stop our gowing obesity. And all I can think is…when the hell did the government become responsible for how much I weigh!????
Fly By Night…goodnight
And so another piece of Alaskana bites the dust. No longer will Alaskans be able to head to Spenard for some fried Spam and sleazy humor interspersed with juvenile political jokes that often were the only comic relief available during our seemingly interminable political seasons. We are left we nothing but the Daily Show and they don’t do song and dance half as well as Mr. Whitekeys and company. Besides, they never mention Alaska unless it involves Ted Stevens and, no offense to Uncle Ted, but he is hardly our funniest or most outrageous politician. In Alaska, you have to
Emmys
Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and most of Conan O’Brian made the Emmys bearable. Other than that, YAWNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Nomination received but…
Yes the man married to Britney Spears is as annoying as holy hell. But no more annoying than his wife. And after all, shouldn’t we pretty much feel sorry for them both for being so inane?

So now I give up. I concede. Anchorage is not planning to have a summer this year and I’m a wimp who needs the heat on
Happy Birthday, Judy
Today is my sister’s birthday. She is officially older than dirt. Congratulations, Judy. Just remember not to get too drunk tonight at Nightmare in Strathmere. At your age, you can’t handle it as well as when you were young.
Nominations now being accepted
OK, I’ll give you all your chance. Nominations are now officially open for people, places and things that annoy you the most. Remember that Tom Cruise has been retired into the Hall of Fame so he’s not eligible. Nor are political elections in general, though I will give some consideration to specific ones that warrant extra special attention. And please leave Donald Trump’s hair. Scientology and ANYTHING to do with ANYTHING that at ANY TIME may include the words Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie. We do need to establish some standards.
This year’s winners, and new inductees into the Hall
Who would have thought this would happen in my lifetime
After the results of yesterday’s primaries came in last night, I realized that for the first time in forever I will go to the voting booth in the fall and know that no matter which candidate for governor wins, I’l be happy because we’ll have a good governor. I thought for sure I would die before that would come to pass.
