Not only is Lisa Murkowski intelligent, powerful, beautiful and a size I could only dream about on my best day, but now, while I moan over bruises from falling in the shower while reaching for a towel, she gets to parade around in a wheel chair with bruises from a ski fall on an expert hill…is that about right? Because if it is, she’s really starting to annoy me.  Couldn’t she have just slipped in the bathtub?

I’ll be on a little after 3 PM discussing the issue of old men and young women relationships (think Hugh – OH-SWEET-LORD-I-CAN’T-BELIEVE-HE’S-NOT-A-ROTTING-CORPSE-YET – Hefner) with Eddie Burke.

Just as I was shaking the flu off, I managed to fall in the shower. Now my left arm is red, blue and purple from wrist to elbow.  Life just doesn’t get much more fun, now does it?

This is no longer amusing me. I want to be better and not have a headache and stomach ache and cough all the time. Two weeks is long enough. I’m starting to think I’m personally responsible for the fall of the Dow as it rides down the slide with my health.

For a brief instance, it seems as though the lady who ran for governor here peeked out from where ever she’s been hiding as she made the choice for new Alaska Supreme Court justice. She placed her responsibility to the Alaska Constitution and law above her personal feelings and made a professional decision. How refreshing.

Please… haven’t we all suffered enough at the hands of his hate filled rants for the past ten or so years? And now he has the chairman of the Republican Party apologizing to him…I think that says all that needs to be said about the “new” direction of the conservative wing of that party.  The good news is that it virtually guarantees that moderates and Democrats will continue to lead us for a long time to come.

I felt like I might live today. So I went to the store. By the time I left, I had enough food to see me through a siege.  I must be healing.

The definition of insanity is to keep repeating the same action over and over again hoping that this time there will be a different outcome. Based on that definition, our entire state legislature is insane.
