Open Left

Notes (0.00 / 0)

The gossip column ("Alaska Ear: The Divine Appendage") is entirely gossip about Alaska politicians/state administrators, their families, and friends.  It sure is not Page 6.

The ADN is a liberal paper.  They supported Obama in the general election over McCain/Palin.  Maybe Toomey is their David Brooks.

As for the rest, maybe the midnight sun is giving an extra boost of dilligence, paranoia, etc.  It really is an experience with 24 hour daylight in the north and 22 hour daylight (some of it twilight) in Anchorage.  Alaskans work or party crazy long hours during the period.  The plants grow huge.  Al Pacino did a movie playing an LA detective sent to Alaska who got insomnia from the midnight sun.  My one experience says there is truth to it.

The bloom seems to be coming off the rose for Palin within Alaska if not nationally.

Define "Gossip" (0.00 / 0)

When I first tuned in to Alaska politics, I found that "Alaska Ear" was where official Alaska hesitantly acknowledged what was really going on.

Regardless, Palin did break the law, and that fact was universally ignored, as Columbia Journalism Review diligently noted.

Plainly put, she's a liar and a crook.  And not a very good one, either.
