One year ago today, I woke up.

A Little Something
Posted in Just for Fun on August 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
School has started and I am beyond overwhelmed. Here’s a little something that takes very little brain power for me to post about. It’s a site called Photoshop Disasters, and I might have lost about two hours of my life looking at it. I also might have shot margarita out of my [...]

U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski on Tuesday told an Anchorage crowd that critics of health care reform, the summer’s hottest political topic, aren’t helping the debate by throwing out highly charged assertions not based in fact.
“It does us no good to incite fear in people by saying that there’s these end-of-life provisions, these death panels,” Murkowski, [...]

Please take five minutes and watch this eye-opening video about where the money that is supposed to go to the insured winds up. I am incredulous.

Thanks to Sarah Palin who decided to quit her job last month, the Legislature called a special session and voted to overturn her veto of energy stimulus funds. We were the only state in the nation to refuse the funds. We also had a major crisis in bush Alaska last winter due to…energy [...]
Does This Count?

Do you think Sarah Palin reads Mamadance? From the looks of her most recent Facebook message, perhaps so.
She writes:
Tomorrow begins an important week for Alaskans.
On Monday, state lawmakers will meet to override my veto of stimulus funds. As Governor, I did my utmost to warn our [...]

Angry protesters screamed, yelled and banged on windows as officers hurried to guard the entrances to the facility, where U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor was trying to discuss the various health care reform proposals being debated in Congress. One photojournalist said that a fistfight broke out inside the building, reports WTSP.

So, That Settles That

Remember when Sarah claimed that the reason Todd was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party (for seven years) was that he checked the wrong box? And then she freaked out? Remember the email she sent to Steve Schmidt, McCain’s chief strategist?
“That’s not part of their platform and he was only a ‘member’ [...]

From Robert Fulghum’s All I Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten:
All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten.
ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW about how to live and what to do

Palin Divorce?
Posted in Politics, tagged divorce, Sarah Palin on August 1, 2009 | 7 Comments »
According to Gryphen at The Immoral Minority, there is a very good explanation for why Miss Sarah was not wearing her wedding ring to the Governor’s picnics last weekend: Todd and Sarah are getting a divorce.
