We kill bears when they get angry and attack us because we are standing between them and their food source,usually a salmon stream. I wonder how we would react if bears stood between us and the snack food aisle at Carr’s?
My new favorite political button
JESUS WAS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER.
PONTIUS PILATE WAS A GOVERNOR.
Isn’t it amazing
When Sarah Palin ran for governor, if you voted against her and for her opponent, no one accused you of being any less Alaskan. Now that she’s running for national office, the atmosphere up here seems to be that you are either for Sarah because she is Alaskan even if you are vehemently opposed to her politics and positions, or you are simply a bad Alaskan. Ah politics! Ah democracy!
It isn’t babysitting if they’re your kids
As the media furor over our Sarah continues, I find myself wondering when people will remember that it’s not Sarah who’s running for president. The reality is that once the election is over, should John McCain win, Sarah will be relegated to photo shoots and state funerals. Proving, as John Nance Garner so colorfully put it, the vice presidency “is not worth a bucket of warm spit.” In the interests of full disclosure, the word “spit” was not necessarily what he actually said but the papers felt the word he did use was not appropriate to print.

Here’s the problem I have
It’s hard for me to support a party that claims that morality is only found in small towns and mocks the community service of the other candidate.
The difference between HIllary and Sarah
The real difference between HIllary and Sarah is that Hillary bothered to tell Chelsea about birth control. Can you just imagine how nuts the right wing, Christian conservative media and various religious leaders would be if it was Chelsea who came up 17, unmarried and pregnant? It would all be attributed to her liberal parents and their no values lifestyle. But when one of their own gets caught, not a peep.
Secret Muslim
Here’s what I don’t understand. Why do people think that if Barack Obama were a Muslim, he’d have to keep it a secret? Is there a clause in the Constitution that I missed that said that if you’re a Muslim you can’t be president? Do people think Muslims can’t love America and be loyal citizens? Can this level of ignorance really be so rampant in 21st Century America? I’d be a lot more worried about a political party that kept in its fold a politician who claims he just has a wide stance in men’s rooms than I would be
Do you sometimes….
Do you sometimes get the feeling that the media has forgotten that it’s John McCain who’s running for president?
It’s the Arctic, stupid
Anyone who ever wonders why I spent almost thirty years in Barrow simply doesn’t understand the pull of the tundra and Arctic seas on my soul. I think I must have been some sort of Arctic critter in my previous life.
Even my dog
Blondie has a disease that causes her to be less than interested in food. So getting her to eat is a big deal in my home. Both times that I’ve had company this summer, she has stopped eating to the point where I was ready to get her a vet appointment to see if the disease had dramatically worsened and we needed to up her meds. Both times she started eating again the minute the company left. Hmmm…..let’s see if we might not have a dog using food for emotional gain. When I have company distracting me from focusing on
