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.

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.
