Blood Pressure Rise

Political Caused Medical Problems

I was watching, what was called a televised Republican Caucus on Gavel to Gavel yesterday.  There was a discussion of the Pay Raise the Legislators were getting this year, which of course was recommended by a committee they set up last year to do such a thing.   The resulting discussion made my head explode.  We should make them pay back every damn dime they have gotten so far.  And kick them all out the very next election.  Greed is rampant, said Chance when he stopped by for a bite to eat.  He was watching me as my head exploded from the BS I was hearing from these politicians crying they can't afford to be in Juneau without a raise.   The very next discussion was that they don't have enough time to do the work they are suppose to be doing so a special session will be needed.   

Are you kidding Me

Bubba hit the roof

After reading this article with bubba over coffee this morning.  He just couldn't believe it.  He then looked at me and said, these guys who shop there are they the same dudes that we are bailing out because they ran those wall street businesses into the ground.  Any of our legislators beside Jay Bird shop there.  I notice he wears those 1000 dollar suits

$7,000 for an off-the-rack-suit, or as much as $21,025 for made to order versions from Sach's in New York

Political Disconnect

Reality Check

This old squirrel was going through the email that we got this morning over a cup of coffee and sunflower seeds.  "There really seems to be a major reality disconnect between the Party and the convictions of the old guard here in the Great Land."   I really have to agree, I said  after reading the Party emails I just got.  I think some of the faithful I told the old squirrel are willing to put up with the delusion of being moral, as long as they stay in power.  

Up Coming Election

Wondering Out Loud

What do you think, asked the old squirrel.  Do you think, Senator Stevens will win the election if he doesn't step down after this conviction?  I don't know I replied, but I do know this.  The corruption was and is still ingrained in our Great Land.  Even our local Fairbanks Mayor has gone over to the Dark side with a political TV ad backing Senator Stevens.    Didn't a past Mayor and his wife get convicted of stealing money from a Senator Stevens developed grant for them asked the old squirrel.  I had to shake my head yes.  The old squirrel then looked at me and said, looks like your right about the corruption.

Jury Finds Stevens Guilty

Did you hear That

It was the sound of justice...   Knock   Knock  Knock  Guilty on all Counts...   Is Ben Next asked the old Squiarrel

Political Commercials

TV Commercials

This old squirrel has always been interested in the making of political commercials on TV.  I swear they remind him of the old fashioned snake oil salesmen of yesteryear he told me this morning.   Buyer beware.

Voles

I'm all Ears

This old vole was telling the squirrel this afternoon, that he was all ears and couldn't wait to hear Sarah Palins acceptance speech.  The old squirrel said even his aunti had called all the way from the Great State of Texas to ask about his thoughts on her.

Politics in the Oil Patch of Alaska

Politics is more fun than a bag of nuts

Wow, what  a media feeding frenzy we are seeing on our illustrious first lady of the state of Alaska.  It always amazes me, this kind of feeding frenzy.  That's what it reminds me of, said this old squirrel.

Explosion (Sarah Palin) in You Tube

Viral videos abound on you tube since Sarah Palin is running for VP

Election Results

Did you vote he says

This old squirrel thought the election results from Alaska were really interesting this morning.

Being an old guard Republican politician under indictment and suspicion of illegal activities running for office doesn't seem to bring out the dichotomy that he sees in the body politic of Alaska Republican voters.  

They might be crooks but at least they are our crooks is the message he got from the results he says.
