Ann's New EARdo!

I watch FOX’s Bill “Bumbo” O’Reilly for the entertainment, as there is no seriousness to his line of bull-crap. And since laughter is the best medicine, it is where I go to get my daily dose. The other day Ann “Bimbo” Coulter was a guest and sported a new Eardo! Maybe it was her Halloween get-up, then again maybe she can’t hear past her explosive diarrhea gossip outbursts so has been given an earlift makeover. FYI: “Bumbo” is the masculine of Bimbo.

Crappy Alaskans

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann posts daily the "Worst Person in the World". There is also a weekly broadcast of the "Dumbest of the Dumb", wherein the latter award goes to Annabel Coulter time after time after time! And soon to hit the bookshelves on the same day that Sarah Palin’s “Liking It Rough” makes America look like a bunch of dummies or perverts, is the 1st addition of a new and long awaited book called "Crappy Alaskans". Of course of interest as a sneak preview and something that should not be a shock to anyone is the fact that it appears Alaskan politicians of past and present will fill a hefty portion of the book, wherein sale proceeds are to benefit Don Young’s wood chip export facility. That’s the eyesore one can see from Anchorage’s coastal trail, that thing that looks like wasted scrap metal ruining the natural scenery. And look out, here comes his amphibious assault vessel racing across the inlet and raising havoc upon the few remaining beluga whales that wanted to call this a peaceful home! Now with so many potential candidates for “Crappy Alaskans” the author didn’t have to worry about “Pages Intentionally Left Blank” with the 1st addition of “Corrupt Bastards” in print. But the sneak preview allowed reprinting some of the intellectual property content through the generous permission from the author and publisher. And low and behold it indicts Frank Murkowski the honors of Alaska's “Crappiest Alaskan" and daughter Lisa as the runner up for the “crap” award. The blurb: When Frank vacated his U.S. Senate seat and ran for governor of Alaska, he decided to place his own daughter in the vacant U.S. Senate seat. This was a pure demonstration of disenfranchising the rights, will and voice of the common people. This would give daughter Lisa a running edge up should she find an interest for furthering her political aspirations when the senate seat came up for its normal re-election cycle, as incumbents very rarely loose no matter how bad they represent the constituency as long as they bring home the bacon and are members of the GOP. This was a given formula of success as found throughout Alaska’s political history. So daughter Lisa was asshoein, say it slow it says “a shoe in”. Even though most states prohibit this type of nepotism, providing laws that ban temporary's the right to run for election after the term ends, it was allowed in this situation after Frank enlisted legal opinions that were not clear on the language of Alaska's very own Constitution or upon current state statutes that warned against this type of mental behavior or disorder - as some have considered such a belligerent move not in the best interest of the public. As a matter of fact and found out after the assignment was signed, sealed and Lisa delivered herself to Congress, that was indeed the true language of fact found within the checks and balances written in Alaska’s very own Constitution - to make sure this type of thing cannot occur. But the language was challenged in efforts to allow Lisa the vacancy and at the same time allow for future expansion of her political career. Now this is not to bare down on Lisa, as this writing, a culmination of Alaska crap artists like father Frank, Ted Stevens, Ben Stevens, Don Young, Ted Andersen, Bill Allen and many more, it does not try to portray any positive or negatives upon how Lisa has maintained that seat and demonstrated representation for the people and by the people, just the fact that there were many others out there qualified but had not the pull or money to get this high this fast without help from outsiders. So said though, Lisa received ranking #2 as the "2nd Crappiest Alaskan" not because of her land dealings with Bob Penny, but was voted an honorary member because she accepted the senate seat when all the time she should have realized that this was unfair to America and denounced her fathers pick. Father & daughter, what a team! So when your sons or daughters ask how they can become a senator or congressmen, tell them they can't because the Henhouse has been raped by politicians like Frank who care about one thing, and that care doesn't include the American spirit but selfish greed beyond a doubt. Frank Murkowski, voted unanimously “Crappiest Alaskan” and daughter Lisa voted the “2nd Crappiest Alaskan”. Time for the champagne!

Autumn Detour

Following summer, it is nice to have a little bit of the autumn season before that termination dust descends down the Chugach Mountain chute and allows the roads around Anchorage to become a death corral for pedestrians. What do you mean that is the case all year long? Do you realize that Anchorage has more pedestrian fatalities then murders and this city is still one of the top ten in the homicide category! And rape is still a horrendous problem, even though MoanaLisa "Trust Me" Murkowski said she was too fix that with Federal intervention, that was 6-years ago and we are still awakened to this atrocity upon our sisterhood. I hope voters remember this when the nepotism senator is up for re-election! So with such a lovely autumn upon us so far, I decided to venture around town and take in the Jack Frost artwork. But I couldn't get downtown! It was great to have the Elmore extension closed again, as the engineers that designed this bottleneck were "Left Behind" in the brilliance category, so it means a whole lot of rework, which satisfies my displeasure for that road. I hope they never get this road working right, as when it is closed it gives my neighborhood peace and quiet like it used to remember. Then to make getting downtown even more difficult, the Darling Dowling Road Round-About was closed, "again". See, it is another blunder in the list of road project failures so there is this constant redesign attempt to make us believe these idiots behind the drafting boards know what they are doing to relieve traffic congestion in Anchorage. And they say it is a cheaper way to go, these about face road rage amplifiers that now require speed "humps". And I have a bridge to somewhere for sale! Now don't get offended, as using the word "idiot" is justified as I have never witnessed such crappy traffic control and I have traveled throughout many major cities wherein once a road is set it doesn't require digging it up for "We forgot something"! Now with Elmore blocked off and the "bout" down for the count, it meant most of my exits to downtown were blocked, which meant navigating the Lake Otis Parkway, which is like taking your life not seriously! Especially in the wasted time category, as there are more traffic lights on this main artery then the entire length of New York City's 5th Avenue. In fact, one could probably navigate 5th Avenue faster! Here though, it is stop and go traffic without traffic and without any semblance of traffic light coordination. Does the guy in charge of putting up traffic lights get a bonus for how many un-necessary lights get constructed, like it is a big game? Now I know "stimulus" money has no transparency so is probably being wasted putting up new fandangle LED lights when the ones in service are still in good shape, but there has to be something wrong with this mentality of "build to destroy". So I ask this because I am still just limping along at 20-mph and fear that the snow will arrive before I get to my destination. Isn't false advertising illegal, or at least something the consumer affairs should be looking out for, to protect our interests? Then how come the DOT posts all these road speed signs when no way in hell can a motorist ever get even close to that posted speed? There is not one road in Anchorage, except maybe side streets with "No Exit" - mini RoundAbouts - wherein one can get up to the posted speed. It goes to show that something is wrong with the road design program the designers are using! But finally, after braving every traffic light and being on alert as drive-by shootings are also common in Anchorage at any time of the day - just ask Rick the biologist - I made it to my destination. Wow, maybe it was worth the time wasted, to see the artwork! See, the best foliage color is down at the low-income housing between A & C Streets, just along the "Greenbelt". When this place was built many years ago, there came a variety of trees planted. And unlike the bastards that live along the bluff who sneak out at night and massacre foliage just so they can enjoy their expensive view of the inlet, the poor folk have let the trees enjoy life. So now most of the tress are mature and the colors from the different varieties left standing are showing off. Anyway, it is time to try and get back south, but I forgot it is PFD weekend, so the highways are filled with crazed shoppers heading to the malls and all DOT roads lead to? It's anybodies guess!

No Alaskan Lefty Behindy

Test for Today: Explain what you know or don’t know about Alaska Aerospace Development Corporation’s Kodiak Launch Facility. How many rocket launches per year and at what cost per lunch. How much state money and or taxpayer money is involved. Salaries of officials and whether or not this facility should remain open.

InfoSeek is a non-partisan information network that tries to represent Alaska’s best interest on subject matters of interest that contribute - or should contribute - to the general well-being of its citizens. Information gathered from these surveys are used to contribute to public awareness campaigning by engaging the public and using such information to pinpoint deficiencies in knowledge upon operations or legislation that affects the rights and liberties of the populace.

Let Alaska Try It!

Here we go again! Another attempt to show that unproven technology shows its face of failure once it hits Alaska. I will take that back. Proof once again that when new fandangle technologies don’t make it totally feasible because of way too many uncertainties and a risk factor that sends budget directors running for cover, let Alaska try it. Just like that cereal commercial, “Let Mikey Try It”. Now I am all for alternative energy, but when one looks at the failures from what has been proposed so far here in Alaska, it goes to show that when Uncle Sam’s money is available the rip-off artists come out of the spruce bark beetle kill wood work. Alaska is the “Failed Projects” poster child of the nation. Why? Because of “zero” accountability and where transparency is just a big fat laugh. Now there is nothing wrong with trying, but there comes a point in time wherein we must wave the “white” flag and say enough is enough. See, it is OK to go ahead with these projects for jobs creation as long as the project sustains a “jobs for the future” infrastructure on its own. To build just for the fun of it is mismanagement and a waste. Case in point, the Kodiak Launch Facility that costs a whole bunch to keep running when it sees maybe a single launch per year. Yet it has created a nightmare jobs infrastructure that would mean unemployment for many if this state did the right thing and closed it down, or at least placed it in warn-storage mode. Private industry, like the oil industry, could not operate like this and doesn’t as it takes the appropriate measures to make damn sure that the shareholders get proper treatment. This is not the case with the KLF as we are the shareholders and I feel I am getting screwed over. But it is energy we are concerned with today, not star-wars! Failed projects dealing with energy are highlighted by the Stevens Clean Coal Plant in Healy, failed because it has been in litigation for 10-years. It was never designed to work well and clean, that was just a selling point, so it will never work unless conventionalized. Really, at its ribbon cutting ground breaking ceremony, several beneficiaries of “multi-million dollar” Federal “stimulus” giveaway pork grants wanted to name this site in horror of Ted, because it was unproven technology using Sam’s money and to this day it has never produced even enough electricity to light a single 60-watt room light bulb. A bicycle with a home-made generator is more efficient then that! Yes, the word “stimulus” was coined a long time ago when Ted, Don and Frank were allowed to send boatloads of Americans’ taxed income money this way for nothing accept to buy votes. Back then it was called “pork” and Ted was known as the “pork” king. Look, the honey-bucket is still in use after all these years even after zillions given away to cure the crapper. And that was a score-point for so many politicians’ campaign to victory speech, “I will make the Honey-Bucket obsolete”. And that rip-off geothermal deal in Chena, it would not be feasible unless? Once again the aid of Uncle Sam and the fact that the outfit providing the recap generator is doing it for publicity and it is not costing the owners a red cent. Bottom line, it costs more to design then build and maintain then what it delivers in return, so in reality it is yet another failure. But I will give this CIRI project some breathing room, in hope that it will contribute towards feeding the energy demands of SouthCentral Alaska, except there appears to be some figures out of whack that just don't add up. First off, we must remember that the resources belong to the citizens, and conservation is key to exploration and exploitation. This process, of igniting an underground bomb then trying to control it from topside, it wastes more energy then what can be reaped for use elsewhere. It doesn’t work out when laws of conservation, which is mandated by the Alaska Constitution, are followed. So to spend all this time, effort and money to build a 100-Mwatt electrical generating plant is risky, especially upon technology that is proven elsewhere but considered “maybe”. The same type projects using the same technology are being considered in the lower-48 only because of the generous contributions from Uncle Sam, by Federal grants, as it isn’t known yet whether it is a feasible project for obtaining private investment. And that CIRI plant, the size doesn’t make mush sense when one looks at the entire grid infrastructure and what is needed for future demands. And one must take into consideration the fact that there is a brand new power plant being built in Anchorage that is a co-generation type plant - green star of approval - designed to generate 245Mwatts, enough breathing room to take Anchorage way into the future with enough excess to keep the lights on at Don Young’s wood chip export facility, another failed eyesore. But we must keep the lights on just incase! It should be torn down and sold for scrap. So there really isn't a natural gas shortage. See, there is plenty of gas in the Beluga gas field, but for years it was coming out of the ground under natural pressure, over 1000-pounds per square inch, which was enough momentum to deliver it all the way over to Anchorage - for distribution. So it is an aging gas field and when one looks at the technology demands that have made Prudhoe Bay still alive and well after 30-years plus, we have the know-how to tame stubborn formations. Now I have been trying to get interest in buying a used ice-breaking barge from Russia, to carry LNG from the “slope” to Cook Inlet, as the Beluga gas field can be used as a storage vault. In the summer, or when there is very little ice, back and forth LNG tankers can contribute to the resource in efforts to pressurize the field. This is done in Canada, so the technology is already proven and works well with the economics. It would save consumers hundreds of dollars in energy costs, provide jobs and best of all, set the stage for natural gas pricing from Prudhoe Bay should there ever come a Palin gas line in the future. Here is another good one to think about. The best thing that could happen to Flint Hills refinery is for it to go bankrupt. Why? It will then be necessary for Alaska to import motor gasoline and jet fuel. And that brings with it competition, so the price per gallon would have to decrease and we the consumers would then know why and what we are paying for instead of having the present price tied to the health of the Alaskan Railroad, which has never been healthy without subsidies from Uncle Sam. Yes, another failure in the long list of failed crap-like infrastructure projects that has made this state one giant failure when it comes too business like successes. About the only thing this state excelled upon in business was tourism and corruption. Bottom line, we seem not to ever get it right and waste zillions proving nothing except we should tell all our sons and daughters to become road pavers, as this state seems to just want to pave and pave forever, as we can’t even get it right on the road stuff. And when we finally get it right with roads, then maybe a cure for the Honey-Bucket will be close behind. In the meantime, I have a viable cure for the Kodiak Launch Facility that has no rockets to launch yet is costing the taxpayers millions a year just to keep the lights on the creepy place that should have never been built. Launch Honey-Buckets towards the moon, as it appears it is now open season far and away and Uncle Sam seems interested. Especially in more crap legislation. If this is a go, it can be called the Alaska Turd Express and we can make a reality show about turd filled rockets blasting off from Kodiak. Hey, any idea how much the bosses over at the aerospace corporation take in? You don’t want to know, as even a pea-brain could manage one launch a year. Pathetic, to keep us in the dark and wasting all that good money just for nothing! So why in hell are we worried about energy and conservation?

FOX ED

This morning, waking with word that this nation's sitting president was the recipient honored with this year's Nobel Peace Prize, it made me proud and anxious to once again say "yeh" America! I’m an Independent. Now this was all good until Rush woke up and found out that the only thing he was recipient of in comparison was to judge the Miss American pageant. What a laugh, but Rush loves the Viagra and is a bonafide feminist supporter. Hey to sit all day on his fat ass and wreck havoc upon righteousness, he has to have a hardon! And all was still quite good until the cast of "Lost", that's the FOX network, woke and smelled the aroma of success on the left! So it was to be a bad day for those bent on seeing America fail while Obama is at the helm. And this award for "Peace" was good news, no matter what spin the conspirators tried to twist on the overall message. In fact, so upset went the henhouse refuges - call it a continuation of the conspiracy theory - FOX staged an event wherein it would not have to talk about the prize upon Obama or bother to broadcast his Rose Garden "wow" speech. So instead of using the broadcast time to televise something good for America, FOX secluded itself away from righteousness because of jealousy and fabricated un-newsworthy ridiculous crap, stuff to keep its idiotic clientele entertained instead of for once allowing the truth to have justice. Yes indeed, a fabricated police chase occupied the broadcast for 3-hours during the morning, which found precedence and an audience over all other news, on a morning that was truly American. It was the typical FOX news’ rush, just when the rest of the nation was getting excited over Obama's “Peace” award. So for nearly three hours, the FOX network played out this live video of cops on the chase of some guy on the lam, for taking off from a gas station without paying. And in the end, when finally the Texas police from the town of Gun Barrel made the move to capture the guy with no known record, it wasn't like some heavy crime scene raid with cops and guns, as it required only a single policewoman to arrest the guy. This had to be staged, just to waste precious time away from true news. And why would FOX pretend like this? Because this shows failure of the highest degree with the Murdoch network, as a win for the left is indeed considered a lose for the right. And the right cannot endure very many more upsets. It didn’t end there with FOX on the spin, while other networks at least gave credit where credit was over-due! So during the day, FOX played more pharmaceutical commercials then would be the norm, just a way to sidetrack finally some good news our way. See, it has a captive audience that has forgotten about Independence! Bottom-line, it is nothing-short pathetic journalism. In fact, it is fake journalism with an ulterior motive to disenfranchise the American spirit. It isn't working, but the FOX has unleashed a monster upon us, so I have fear that Obama may not make it through to November when he is supposed to accept the award – for PEACE. FOX, in the days coming, will use every illegal tactic available to raise havoc upon its following in efforts to excite a riot of hate and doubt, a storm of lies against this country akin to a terrorist act, as when they attack the Commander-in-Chief it is war upon my country. Remember, I am an Independent. Hey, to use the excuse of the 1st to incite idiots, this is illegal and FOX should be censored. Better yet, use some “stimulus” money to buy all that erectile dysfunctional stuff it advertises and give it away like Halloween candy to its subscribers, most likely for a clientele that is neutered, or close too it from way too much Ann Coulter chat time, and that my friend could make anybody limp!

Afghanistan, Iraq & the Moon!

AIM high I guess! Why is it that Americans don't trust their own government any longer? A pattern of mistrust from a pattern of abuse that seems to be following an exponential decay of approval with no turning back in sight. Now when I say government, I am talking not the executive branch of the U.S. Presidency, but the Congress! Let's face the facts, set aside the privilege of the executive order - a.k.a. set your buddy free from jail - it is the Congress that sets the rigging and the sails in efforts for this country to stay on course, as they on their own are in control of the helm with the added advantage of controlling the purse strings. And therein is executed the problem. Now those representative(s) and or senator(s) that approved 79-million to bomb the moon, this is pathetic and sick legislation and a show of taxpayer malfeasance abuse beyond decency. When we have problems back here on the home turf like a bogged down economy, what benefit is there in attacking the moon? This is not gifted science by any stretch of the imagination. Sure it is an outright unprovoked attack, once again upon a peaceful place. So is this what comes about because we can't get it right in Iraq or Afghanistan, as it appears the insurgents are better bomb makers then our very own military experts. We can't protect the troops but we can annihilate the moon and make more craters. There was once upon a time a far and away semblance of a "Man in the Moon", but it looks like total destruction has transformed the scene. And that face that has entertained folklore for eons was there just the other day. Why target the poor old bastard? Now what if the bombing made a giant moon-rock unstable and it started a trajectory towards Washington, do you think the idiots would run for cover or stand proud to face the consequences. I bet they would all run and say that it was taxpayers' money that did it, placing the blame on us with that guilty by association plea, so they would be not to blame. And maybe this is why we find nowadays more distrust upon the very system of governance that is supposed to police the scene for those that are out working their butts off. It is called representation, but hear it loud and clear, there is very little representation when considering the amount of taxation that is taxing my wallet every two-weeks. I am surely not getting anywhere close my money's worth. And wouldn't it be nice if there came a warranty! The abuse complaint counters would be overwhelmed with the common people asking and demanding answers. But when we want answers, all we get nowadays is more crap legislation because the bastards at lodge are trying their best to cover-up things through confusion and complicating matters. And if Rangle is getting away with hundreds-of-thousands in un-reported income, don't believe for one split second that this is not the norm on the Hill. Remember, they make the rules! I am sure that if one looks close enough to the Tax Code that there is a provision for preferential treatment towards cheating Congressmen. I love the office of the presidency, no matter who is at the helm. Some provide laughs, some statesmanship. It used too be an office of pride and non-prejudice, but Bill fixed that by proving that the woman of a cheating man will put up with the cheating affair if it means keeping the position of power and notoriety even without honor. Really, when one looks back in history when that position of utmost power became a joke, it was soon after Bill was caught with the Devil in the blue dress! But it is the Congress that is the controlling body, just read what the Constitution has in store for those that think differently. So when the news media picks up the story that indicates that most people with school age children are not ready to take a sniff for Uncle Sam - swine flue shot - there is reason to be cautious. Why so? I made a call to Alaska State Senator Mark Begich's office to inquire if the Congress has already been offered the swine dose. See, normally those in power believe that they require preferential treatment as they are our leaders and have to be fit to take over should there be a catastrophic outbreak. So Congress is usually first in line - families included - for anything that extends life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, including a flue shot even if their budding in excludes women and kids still waiting in line. So finding out that Congress is also waiting out this new sniff shot, it is suspicious beyond belief, as to wait means that they themselves are being cautious over the possible side effects of the vaccine. To date only 600-guinea pigs have been subject to the shot. So I will be over cautious and paranoid and not take a shot - sniff - until Congress steps up to the plate and engages. This bombing of the moon is getting tough to swallow. I didn't approve of it! Is this what we get from "stimulus money" gone wild, transparency and an attempt to not hide the truth, no matter how outrageous? Maybe we don't want transparency! Now what if there was life on the moon that knew of a cure for the swine, or a cure for breast cancer or the formula for renewable energy, not anymore! Bombing the moon, what right is there for this country or any other country with military superiority the foolishness to lob bombs towards the moon? What are we trying to teach our children, except that we cannot trust those sworn to uphold righteousness. Just in: Aged satellite orbiting moon will crash into the moon today. And this was also planned by NASA officials! Is there something in the air down NASA way that is causing those with the space missile controls a disconnect from reality? What gives with this Orson Wells invasion of the moon? And there is a web-site that shows locations of "Moon Bombing" tailgate parties! How long has this attack been known about? Think about it this way and in retrospect why we can no longer trust those in power. The decision to bomb to invade the moon was for reason! Why & What? Because there is no opposition. So we invade by bombing and allowing old satellites to crash upon the surface. It is a short lived war we can claim uncontested victory with no waste, no troop casualties and maybe this will be enough to trump the negative effects of two wars we are engaged upon on this earth to which we are far from being honored the winner. It is a diversion attempt that seems to be working, as it is getting more attention then 8 more kids killed in Taliban country by weapons made in America by American businesses making a buck. Trust us I hear the representation yell out, over my mooning body! Just in and please take note: For an erection lasting longer then 4-hours you should seek immediate attention from a medical professional.... Maybe that's it, as those in control from the Hill to the launch pad have something getting in the way of reality and it is indeed having dire consequences upon the trinity, that of life, liberty and my pursuit of happiness.
