  —SHANNYN MOORE: JUST A GIRL FROM HOMER

  Number of comments: 4
  This week, an entire pack of wolves was slaughtered from a helicopter.  At least two of the shot wolves were collared for research purposes.  This is the legacy of the Crazy Woman from Wasilla.  Sarah Palin loaded the Alaska Board of Game with science-denying bastards that want to kill every [...]

  I guess since Palin was not at the meeting of the 2nd amendment wing nuts she doubts the veracity of ADN's reporting.  Interesting, that is kind of how I feel about every single story SHE tells.

  Two LGBT actions took place Thursday, one on each coast: a rally and protest in DC against Don't Ask Don't Tell, and a San Francisco sit-in and national call-in for ENDA, the 'don't fire me for being gay' bill that is stalled in committee. Both actions are connected to GetEQUAL.org,' [...]

• It works in debate class...

  —Alaska Politics
