President Obama finally responded to the tragic Gulf of Mexico oil spill in June. One thing we can agree on — his response was predictable and consistent.
In Alaska, we weren’t surprised. After all, we have “threatened” polar bears that are increasing in numbers while they cavort on increasing sea ice.
Nope, no surprise at all.

One thing is certain: something is headed over the cliff. Is it the health care bill? Democrat political careers? Or both?

Our legislature has some tough decisions to make. This is the first year since the ’70′s that there has been NO new oil exploration in Alaska. Sure, the companies are still making money — but like anyone else, they are making their financial decisions on the margin — the difference between how much they will make here vs. somewhere else. Maybe looking out for our interests means a tax rate that keeps the oil companies coming back.

Sarah Palin has been a top target of the Democrats since she ran as Senator John McCain’s vice presidential candidate. They lost the election, and she has since resigned as governor of Alaska due to the continued onslaught of complaints by Democrat operatives. So NOW why are the Democrats so steamed?

As the U.S. midwest and east coast experience record cold temperatures and winter weather, we can’t help but make fun of some of the “global warming” issues that have affected our economy and our way of life in Alaska.
Even though sea ice has increased for the past two years, polar bear populations have increased, and the earth’s climate has not warmed for 10 years, we still have to put up with “threatened” status for polar bears. Maybe it’s time to “share the wealth.”

Everyone agrees 2009 was a rough year with stock market dips, a slumping economy. And with the Democrat majority in control of both houses of Congress and the presidency, our country has been plunged deep into debt.
Now they have a plan to tax all of us to make up for their chaos through national health care and cap and trade policies, promising further economic pressure on an already weak economy.
Is it any wonder that our New Year’s baby looks a little worried?

Remember the 1960′s television game show, “To Tell the Truth?” One “real” subject and two impersonators would answer questions from a panel, who tried to figure out which was the real subject. In the end the moderator asked the “real ____” to please stand up. Of course, on the game show the impersonators had to tell the truth.
So imagine the two biggest egos in the U.S., Al Gore and Barack Obama, on the same stage with our REAL hero of the season.
Maybe it’s time to tell the truth about some other issues too.

Senator Begich is just along for the ride with the Democrat majority in Congress. At this point, he has no choice. Still, we’re miffed that he is ignoring the opinion of Alaskans.

President Obama and Senator Harry Reid can’t be glad that the global warming issue is coming apart before they have a chance to use it to tax us even more.
