Obama’s grandmother, family ‘rock’, dies on election eve
In a tragic twist to his White House campaign, Barack Obama announced on the eve of election day, that the grandmother who brought him up had died, aged 86…. [read the story here]
 

I dedicate this post to my friend, June.  Before June and I ruined our friendship, we made a pact to "agree that we disagree" on who to vote for.  However, June doesn’t live in Alaska, and she doesn’t know anything about Palin.  So, June, as they say, "This one’s for you!" But, "doggone it," you’re [...]

The Anchorage Daily News is the largest newspaper in Alaska with over 70,000 subscribers and many who read it online.  It’s a newspaper that has won two Pulitzer Prizes.   The significance of the Obama  endorsement by  the Anchorage Daily News is that it’s the largest newspaper in the State of Alaska where Palin is governor.   [...]

Well, lets see what John Stewart came up with about Palin’s comment about "the real Americans in small town America."

So what do you think? Do you think the real Americans are only in the small towns? What about us city folks? Aren’t we real too? We welcome your comments!

It started in San Francisco with a group of friends who are filmmakers.  After McCain named Palin to the Republican ticket as vice president, they heard so many stories about Sara Palin from the left and the right that they became intrigued.  They decided to come to Alaska and launch the Wasilla Project.  They wanted [...]

ANCHORAGE — Today an Alaska legislator called on the State’s Attorney General to appoint an independent investigator to look into possible criminal witness tampering by McCain-Palin campaign staff in Alaska.  Rep. Gara’s call came at the suggestion of [...]

Received from a blogger:
Watching you,  Sarah, on the campaign trail reminds me when I was a child  of the times the carnival came to town in the summer.  As a child, I liked to listen to the "carny barker" or "carny hustler" at the side show.  It’s like you’re playing the role of "carnival hustler" [...]

Exactly where did the term "Maverick" originate?  When we think of a "Maverick" we think of cattle unbranded roaming the range.  We need to get a historical perspective on this so we understand just what a Maverick is, especially when McCain and Palin call themselves Mavericks.  We’re going back in time to 1847 to [...]

As GOP lawmakers sue to impede the Troopergate investigation, I call on all Alaskans, and every US citizen to stand up and sign this petition  to require lawmakers to continue the Troopergate investigation, without delays or conditions of any kind.

Katie Couric/Sarah Palin Interview
Katie Couric speaks with GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin about the nation’s economic concerns and the McCain campaign’s ties to lobbyists.

 Sarah’s interview with Katie Couric on September 25, 2008, is a clear indication that Palin is inexperienced and not at all seasoned nationally or internationally to step on the large stage of the United States as Vice President–maybe even President if something happens to McCain.  Katie asked her to explain why Alaska’s proximity to Russia [...]

Palin is pro-life — even in the case of rape or incest.  On the surface, a woman in the White House is a step forward for Women’s rights.  In reality, her views on abortion, sex education, and teen pregnancy are a major step backward for women’s rights. 
Roe vs. Wade insures access to legal and [...]

Let’s stick to the issues!  Let’s judge the candidates on the issues, not on the color of their skin.  All you have to do is look at the article about the Trooper Gate probe into Mrs. Palin.  What was it she said at the onset of this investigation before she decided to run with McSame, [...]

 
I found this on the bravenewfilms.org website last night.  This is more of the McSame as the Bush administration.  The chairman of the board, Bush, can’t run again so they want McSame to be the new chairman!  They run the US like its their own private corporation and they’re the CEOs!  Please read the article [...]

 
The news is full of reasons for the financial crisis we experienced this week.   Repealing the Glass-Steagell Act of 1933 (GSA) is believed to have set the stage for the disaster as well as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (GLBA).  Besides establishing the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and regulating interest rates, provisions of the [...]

Adding insult to the injury of millions of American’s who are losing their homes, the Michigan GOP has plans to use foreclosure lists to challenge 11,000 McComb County voters at the polls.   And it’s naive to think they will stop with Michigan.  As seen in Ohio in 2004 and Florida in 2000, State election rules [...]

Dear Mr. Palin:

Congratulations on the selection of your wife as the Republican candidate for Vice President of the United States.

We understand you are a member of the United Steelworkers of America (USW) Union.  While I’m sure you’re exited by your wife’s candidacy for this high office, you may be discouraged to learn that the union [...]

I’m sick and tired of Bush/Rove politicians refusing to meet with House Judiciary Committees and investigators. This kind of arrogance is alarming. Today, the Huffington Post reports that Sarah Palin — taking a page right out of the Rove playbook — is refusing to meet with Troopergate investigators. It’s time to hold [...]

Protesters lined the overcast streets of downtown Anchorage - Alaska’s largest city - to protest Palin within hours of her speech on Saturday. The record crowd estimated at 1500 - most of them women - carried signs that read, "Pro Woman, Anti-Palin," and "Voted For Her Once: NEVER AGAIN" sending a strong message that Palin [...]
