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.

This week’s news about hacked emails from East Anglia tends to support what we have suspected about the global warming issue all along. Is the house of cards about to fall?

When Mark Begich was elected to the U.S. Senate after a particularly dirty campaign that was funded by largely outside sources, we knew we were getting a pig in a poke.
Now he’s showing his stuff: An ABC Alaska poll this week shows 89 percent of respondents oppose the Senate majority’s health care plan. But Begich voted with his democrat party against the wishes of Alaskans.
Wrong bus, Mark.

It seems Mayor Mark Begich was less than honest with the Anchorage Assembly when recommending approval of union contracts, “forgetting” that he had been advised they could not afford the deals as they stood. Could the fact that he was running for U.S. Senate and needed the votes explain his lapse of memory?

A couple of recent articles in the Juneau Empire and Bradner’s Economic Digest have pointed out that Alaskans may be losing cruise ship business as a result of a head tax instituted a couple of years ago. Of course, opinions differ, but we need to look at the qualifications and ability (or inability) of each side to use sound reasoning.
Here are some links to the original articles:
Bradner, Tim. Alaska Journal of Commerce, “Cruise ships depart; did Alaskans sink a profitable tourism industry?” http://juneauempire.com/stories/051109/loc_438614255.shtml
Cohen, Gershon. Juneau Empire Letters to the Editor, “Cruise re-routings due to economic downturn, not tax,” http://juneauempire.com/stories/051209/let_438970998.shtml
Shattuck, Allen. Juneau Empire Letters to the Editor, “$50 passenger head tax is a big deal,” http://juneauempire.com/stories/051409/let_439783250.shtml
