New Year's Resolution

NO, I won't fork over $79.95 to become a member of the Alaska Daily News' on-line creep show following. Maybe “freak” show is a better defining moment attribute. Why? Because I can sign up to MAD Magazine for far less and get a better picture of what is going on in Alaska, wherein true laughter the issues and situations at hand allow it as a “bonafide” laughing matter. I feel really sorry for the folks in Fairbanks, as that is definitely a town without a paper! And it appears that the “Golden Heart” has inferior communicating skills, like maybe still using Morse Code to communicate with the Governor's mansion down in Juneau. See, Golden Valley doesn't want to build an LNG trucking facility, so please, don't send any more loot that way! But with Anchorage, which is closer to Juneau, the coverage is mediocre at best with the rest of the story fizzled out and we never get “The Rest of the Story” so important as a follow up. Look, has anybody spoken up and out with “Extra, Extra Read All About It” upon the fuel contamination problems that have plagued SHELL's exploration venture since last August, which was never remedied and now has caused the Aviq to loose power and loose its grip on the “Kulluk” - another wreck on Alaska's pristine shoreline and Joe Hazlewood was no where around! But to pay for on-line “crap”, no thanks. In fact, “Prison Publications”, a syndicate made up of this state's politicians still incarcerated provides a better picture as to what is going on in this state then does the entire cast-away part-time journalist just waiting for a call from Rachel Madcow. I understand the “Prison Publications” may be funded by Bill. Anyway, when I received an application for the ADN on-line waste, it did bring a good laugh. But with “Gubber Search”, which infiltrates Twitter Dah and Twitter Dumb and all those other side-tracking hi-tech lobotomy devices - “what road lanes” - I don't need to waste money some more – as Congress is better than I at that. And instead the penny saved is a penny earned can buy a decent bottle of wine, wherein I stand – maybe – to enjoy the news the way I want it, with a buzz as more often today than yesterday with the sad state of affairs all around, a Mother's little helper seems to be reminding me of a resolution – more wine in that glass please!
