Alaska Joins Bonus & Bailout Frenzy

I don’t get it! Yes I do, almost fooled myself. Seems that economic "bailout" in the form of bonuses for the wealthy is catching on, by the wealthy and for the wealthy that is. Sorry, but nobody is worth my salary x100 in the form of a bonus. Bottom line, just another way to screw the already screwed-with American proletariat race, the common everyday working class heroes. If AIG can take "my" money and give it away as a bonus to the scoundrels who didn’t know what in hell they were doing in the first place and drove a company almost to extinction, a bonus is deserving? This bonus giveaway frenzy to the incompetent is beginning to bug me, especially when it is my money being thrown away. If Congress allows this to happen then all hope is lost, that our representation has sold out and this country will forever be the laughing stock of the rich getting richer. We give them more, they will continue to take more. See, Congress doesn’t give a rat’s ass that most Americans are no longer achieving that life, liberty and pursuit of happiness that we strive for each and everyday. Congress makes an income that allows that goal to be met without a lot of sweat equity, so why should they give a crap upon the fact that with bailout and bonus free-for-alls, it is basically money garnished from my paycheck that feeds this frenzy. So if there is all this extra money floating around the Treasury - for bonuses - we as taxpayers have been over-charged. They know it, but the catch is this. They owe us interest! But for Congressmen and Congresswomen, their only interest in the economic dilemma was in giving themselves a pay raise and bailing out a lost cause to make themselves look good come re-election time so they could keep their high paid jobless position. A whole lot of bailout money will end up as campaign donations come re-election time. Bet me! The worst thing that ever happened to this country was the failure to demand "term" limits. It is pathetic with respect to what goes on up at the Hill. This country’s representation is so far removed from everyday reality, maybe a meltdown is what is truly needed, wherein the "people" take back what is ours to begin with - this "Country ‘Tis of Thee". Why the lights are still on for Congress is mind-boggling and a malfeasance due our own inaction. And answer me this. If a company is so big and so powerful that if it is going bankrupt and Uncle Sam must show as the bail bondsmen, doesn’t this point to a classic case of "anti-trust"? It seems that Washington has turned a blind eye to everything accept continued corruption. That is why Alaska is so popular following the presidential election. It isn’t only the Sarah Palin family personality, but this is the "Corrupt Bastard Club" state, so others want the same know-how, as "corruptness" seems to pay handsomely these days. That is why the rich are using it, either with us or against us should be the Congressional motto. Thievery upon the U.S. Treasury follows a monkey-see, monkey-do mentality. Corruption appears as the shield against any and all ethical reckoning. Corruption allows immunity, against righteousness. Bottom-line, AIG made it too fame and fortune by practicing "anti-trust" and it went so big and greedy because competition and regulation were missing that when the bubble finally came up to bursting pressure, it called for a buyout like bailout. A word of warning to newly elected U.S. Senator Begich(Alaska): If you don’t do something about this frenzy you will not get re-elected. A word to missing-in-action U.S. Senator select through father & daughter nepotism scam MoanaLisa Murkowski(Alaska): You won’t get voted back in. A word to Congressmen Don Young(Alaska): How come the Te-Lue bill had a fishing pole tax included as a last minute addition? Anyway, that is what the AIG bailout accomplished, a buyout and a selling of America. And the way that AIG distributed the leftovers, to buddy companies already bailed out by the U.S. taxpayers, we have been screwed over so far that it is nauseating me. Puke in a bag and send it to Congress for crying out loud. Anyway, as majority holder of worthless fodder, now Uncle Sam is caught in a catch-22, as AIG still operates under an illegal "anti-trust" umbrella. See, it would have been better off to let this giant sink, then responsible entities could have picked up the pieces and competition would once again be alive and well. It seems that those in the supposedly know-how have flunked basics, of how to pee in a toilet and not get your hands wet. And had this government saw to it non-involvement and just let Humpty-Dumpy fall, it wouldn’t have cost me a dime. And instead of sitting here writing and complaining about the Treasury being robbed, I could be writing to my "missing-in-action" representation and demanding a rebate. The American taxpayers have been over-taxed now for 57-years. But we have the same damn ridiculousness happening right back home here in Alaska. Incompetence, neglect and greed in politicians is a trademark of an Alaskan representative. Anyway, this home grown "bonus" crap that is coming out of Juneau is evidence that there is something in the air that is making clear thinking a problem, maybe a medical issue. Maybe too much dried up dog crap in the air, as some politician wants to give medical doctors’ a bonus, if they take on Medicare patients! What a scam! Bottom-line, it should be a pre-requisite to getting and maintaining a medical license here in this state, that one must not refuse a medical patient referral for an elderly American. Too hell with a bonus program! See, the D.C. giveaway disease is contagious! It must be from that "stimulus". In a nutshell, this state should maintain a list of those wanting or needing Medicare attention, and one call is all it takes, to a list of doctors licensed to practice in the state. A doctor can only refuse if there is clear and convincing evidence that the doctor cannot without compromise to other patients and caseload take on an elderly American, even if that individual needing attention fought in WWII. The catch? Three strikes and your out! Believe me, the threat of pulling one’s license is a rest assured guarantee that this preferential treatment to not take on welfare patients and veterans would come to a screeching halt. It goes to show that the entire medical infrastructure is worse off then the highway system. There has never been a problem finding contractors willing to pave the way. And along with a $6,000-dollar a year bonus, how about an additional $35,000-dollars a year as an incentive, so an Alaskan doctor can pay for his education? What kind of bend over mentality is this politician practicing? I always learned that nothing was free! So what gives? Maybe its rabies! As clear-headed thinking seems to be also compromised! I guess the idiots down Juneau way have nothing better to do then find more un-ethical ways to waste money. We have stimulus money coming our way so there is no need to tap into the Constitutional Budget Reserve. All projects that were on hold due to sinking oil prices have been resurrected, stimulus my ass! Hey, the "Bridge to Nowhere" has been discovered, just go down to Westchester Lagoon and look at that ridiculous viewing platform that looks like "crap". And it doesn’t go anywhere accept nowhere. Did this really cost millions? Anyway, it is the greed of the medical establishment that has made Medicare very problematic for "our" elderly. It is "greed" that has made the entire health care industry so pro-money first as patients come second, wherein it has left a bunch of "Patients left behind". Just look at how Bill Frist is now embracing a government medical "bailout"! Why? Well for those that don’t remember, when acting Speaker of the House, he fashioned legislation that helped out the medical establish - as his family is or was once the biggest private owner of health care organizationalized medical care. Since then, it is harder to get these bastard companies to even pay for a Band-Aid. So that is why I am overly concerned that "My" government bailed out an insurance provider, as it isn’t over with yet. That is why people - not Americans - are taking the money and running, just like Congress taking a pay raise and running away from everything. Anyway, Frist has now an interest in a government sponsored medical program, as he will most likely gain billions, knowing that like any other welfare program this country gets involved in becomes a pot of gold for the crooks, time and time again, over and over again. And there is a non-money solution. I am serious, we just need to get healthier! If the younger population stopped drinking soda pop, health would return and there would be plenty of doctors to tend to the elderly. Don’t need any bonuses, don’t need no incentives, just the simple fact of people taking ownership for their own health. So why doesn’t a politician try to make getting healthier an issue? It is like term limits, healthier living habits doesn’t excite the lobbyists so it can mean come donation time, no bonus! And here is another take on something of interest. Was the economic scare a hoax? I am not into conspiracy theories or UFO fanaticism, but it seems that the economy tanked way to quick when one considers that such is a global infrastructure nowadays. So, was it all a hoax that got out of control, just for the election? And if indeed it was a hoax, is that why some big corporations went for a bailout, thus bonuses, as we were all faked out. Hey, if times were tough in January, then why did Congress vote themselves a healthy pay raise when the un-employment ranks were growing by leaps and bounds and most American workers realized the fact that they were lucky to still have a job, never mind a pay raise! So there remain some things that are just not right with this economic scenario. When one looks at the size of the market and all the necessary elements, the cogs of progress don’t allow for a quick and major failure, it is a collapse by one cog at a time, so something just isn’t right. So if the grand wizards are now sighing a sigh of relief, that the economy is on the way back, it had to be a planned attack upon the U.S. Treasury! How else could conspirators take back what the democrats won? Now Bin Laden made mention once upon a time that the real way to trip up America is to ruin the economy. Seems some of our own with power and might have taken that advice and trying it out. But like everything thing else, it is all done for greed, with the real repercussions a thing of the past as the sentiment rings out that we must move on. "Trust Us" they preach. We can no longer trust that kind of mental mentality. It retards the will of the Constitution, when righteousness is a lost cause. It is not the true American way. We are lost, as a country, as a nation. Bottom-line, I can’t believe that by giving the rich a bunch of money will suffice to end the inequities upon my country. It is sad, if this is indeed the case, it is. No "True" American needs millions of dollars. There should be a limit, after that, tax the hell out of a rich man’s income so it can be put aside for bailouts and bonuses, then I wouldn’t have a problem with this giveaway frenzy. And remember this. Congress sets the minimum wage, which is supposedly all we need to reach that life, liberty and pursuit of something goal. When at the same time they cannot abide by such a pittance, with a salary that is x15 that amount, with incentive like raises that come to them even without asking or performing. What a luxury. Maybe that is why they feel it necessary to give "our" money away to crooks. And when they mess up, they play the blame game. They get off the hook, we "True" Americans suffer. We "True" Americans pay the price as they play. It is all just a big game of cops and robbers except herein all the cops are taking it from behind. So sad, that we have before us a Congress and an administration that is elected by the people and are sworn to provide an agenda "by the people and for the people" but pursue for their own personal greed an agenda "by the few for the few for themselves". Blasphemy? Treason? Both seem to fit! The real problem, who does "True" America run too for help? The trillion-dollar bailout bonus question of the day. Sad it is, as some equations have no solutions. But rest assured, I am not responsible for giving it all away. I am guilty for letting it go on and on and on, to that I am derelict upon my Constitutional responsibility as are millions of other proletariats. How much is in your bonus? In ending, it goes to show that we continue to have a monkey-see, monkey-do approach towards problems. With the bailout and bonuses, it would have been better off to take the "in-action" route with respect to Congress trying to become Mr. & Mrs. Business owner. It didn’t work, as there came no follow-up or accountability. It was basically just another "mission accomplished" before the day was done. This is nothing new to Washington, what is troubling is the fact that we now see states taking advantage of this bailout, especially here in Alaska. Alaska is a prime example of business failings wherein we do not learn from our mistakes. We have more failed infrastructure projects that never had any intent to be successful, as success may mean no future work. The same reason this state cannot build a highway that lasts at least a few years. Why not? Success puts people out of business. And that is what is behind this new era of bailouts. I am sick and tired of the Congress coming up with reasons to why AIG may get away with grand theft upon the U.S. Treasury! The Congress still has no game plan. And the bipartisan bickering is pathetic. Both sides should be together on this dilemma, this AIG bonus crap. Hey Congress, there is a thing called a "badge", maybe that is what this country needs, a "Badge of Courage", wherein we are not afraid to take the law of the land seriously. If in the end, if Congress cannot get "our" money back - a giveaway that made at least 73 AIG workers instant millionaires - then they need to pack their bags and bags of loot and move to Iraq, or Texas, one in the same, just ask George! Mission accomplished? What a joke. What a joke is the 111th Congress. But what fools are we for letting them ruin this once great contry, as a bankrupt country is worthless, especially to our children!

Iditarod Update

Due to the death rate of sled dogs reaching three in this year’s race to Nome, race officials have stopped the race, as a precautionary measure. The "Time-Out" will last approximately 24-hours, giving officials and veterinarians enough time to determine why the casualty rate is so high.

Quitting Time

I was at one time an advocate and fan of the "Last Great Race". Matter of fact, when stationed in Valdez, I trained and raised 5-dogs that liked to pull, so I purchased a sled and on my time off went gallivanting about the hillside of Robe Lake. Now these were pet dogs, the ones that liked to enjoy the comfort of a living room after a long run. But over the years, I have maintained increasingly alarming reservations about this race - the Iditarod. It seems to have become just a big competition wherein the dogs’ health and welfare is compromised, thus as such has become not so important over the purse-pursued priority. Just this year, we see pictures of battered faces of the mushers, broken sleds and broken dreams. The trail is rough, so how is such conditions fairing for the dogs themselves? I am not out there, but in this day and age there comes before us enough information through technology that it allows pieces of the puzzle to paint a picture of what is indeed happening on the trail. It seems with all the face bashing from wayward branches and internal injuries due other obstacles that it was intended as a boxing venue instead of a dog race. But the way Dee-Dee was swinging at her dogs the other day, when they were misbehaving, it makes one wonder what happens when man and beast gets together on the trail and away from the comforts of home, civilization that is - no shower, no hot meals, and a lot of work to care for a bunch of tired and hungry dogs by a hungry and tired musher. It must be pure misery. Didn’t Brooks catch heat for hitting his dogs in front of a bunch of kindergarteners? I believe he was disqualified! Really, this was a pathetic showing to see a masher take swings at a dog, even if contact was minor, it just doesn’t fit well with the overall good faith relationship. And remember, people are watching! Dogs remember quite well when bashed. And wasn’t Jeff King found guilty for moose poaching? Whatever happened to the fair chase doctrine? Anyway it makes me upset. It goes too show that we continue to treat our pets as second rate and believe that if we live on the brink of civilization that the "laws are for the others" to contend with. Hey, would you slap your kids? You may want too, but that can land you in hot water nowadays. And how many dogs are missing? One dead, and another on the lam is the current predicament. Now this musher that was stuck in waste deep snow then set free by other "Good Samaritan" mushers, well she decided to free a few of her dogs that had been tangled during the stuck sled incident, what is she crazy? Why the hell she thought it was OK to let a lead dog wonder free in the gorge, it is mind-boggling. A dog’s adrenalin must be peaked, so to allow one the sense freedom, it means only one thing, a hightail away from this maddening scene. And we never hear as too why a dog dies along the trail. It is like during a plane crash. The black box is recovered but it is months before the authorities tell us the true story of what happened, so many let go the interest. Same thing here, as when the results finally make a show, nobody will remember - merely another dead Iditarod dog. Is there a tally as too how many dogs have died over the years during this well advertised race? Matter of fact, with the beginning of each race, in honor of Balto and the others, each race should begin with a memorial service ceremony for the fallen dogs - just like for the fallen troops on Memorial Day. Anyway, maybe it is time to formulate different strategies for the race, like a different qualifier to determine the winner. Maybe the dogs can have some sort of psychoanalysis evaluation performed after the race - like a lie-detector type analysis. And those that have been treated with kindness, that is how the purse could be divided. Just think how far this would go in efforts to extend and promote non-cruelty to animals. So with only a week down the trail I am throwing in the towel and will forfeit any further interest in this race. It seems that we hear more of the same bad news with respect to the "Last Great Race". Hopefully next year it will be different - with different rules and regulations that make it not a race in time but a race in sake of the dogs’ well-being. Of course that may not sit too well with the sponsors. For now though, time to say goodbye as I just can’t stand seeing a bunch of tired and hungry dogs make their way into another check-point. And they keep telling us that the dogs love it. I just wish the canines could talk, to tell us what they really think of such conditions, bordering on the insane. All for money!

Americans in Contact(Sarah)PAC

Does anybody out ther in the blogisphere have a contact phone number for "Americans In Contact PAC"? I keep getting harassing phone calls and want to belch back at them. If you do have such a number, please publish it here on Alaska Blog so we can all play an eye-for-an-eye tooth-for-a-tooth game of revenge. E-mails accepted at storylineonline@gci.net. Get this number to me and I will publish it!

Dear Sarah!

To: Honorable Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska
Subject: Constitutional Right to Privacy Violations

I continue to receive annoying phone contacts from an organization called "Americans in Contact PAC". This occurs every-night when I am trying to watch the local news in efforts to get an update on the Iditarod. Last night, I was finally able to get to the phone in time and was asked a bunch of foolish questions, political in nature, by a robot. My sentiment, "the executioner’s face is always well hidden". Anyway, this outfit was just trying to get me to donate money, confusing though as too what this money was intended for, so I do believe it is yet another Ponzi scam. And when I did receive a return phone contact, too make it clear and convincing that these unsolicited communications were too stop, I was made aware that the AICPAC along with ccAdvertising were running this scam by using information made available through the "voter registration" data banks. Now as governor, you are aware that this state - Alaska - has a Constitution that declares upon its citizens a Right to Privacy. Be it that a state’s "voter registration" data does make available the name, rank and serial number of its voters, it does not grant the data collectors and sharers of such information the "right" to violate the issues of privacy, by making "unsolicited" phone contact. The only way this "Right to Privacy" is not violated is if a citizen makes contact with an organization soliciting such communications, voluntarily, thus automatically waiving that right, this be accomplished on a preferential basis. With that in mind, I am asking that you, as governor, make it clear to outside action organizations and committees that try to utilize the "voter registration" data banks or share such information, that this can be considered a breach of this state’s Constitutional declaration and such a violation is against the laws of this state. That is your duty, so I hope to have a piece of mind soon. If you cannot accomplish this task because of your busty schedule, then maybe Meg can get on her broom, and like the Wicked Witch of the West - Wizard of Oz - fly over AICPAC’s location way back in Virginia and scare the Dickens out of these telemarketing freaks who say they can find no other work then to harass Americans in their homes. Either way, it will provide Alaskans what is ours to begin with, our right to be left alone in the privacy of our homes not yet in foreclosure. I am enclosing a copy of the Cease & Desist Notification that was sent to AICPAC in my efforts to protect this state’s Constitution and its citizens’ rights. Your help is requested in this troubling matter.

Cease & Desist Notification
With this E-mail, your organization shall cease & desist from contacting any Alaskan residents wherein contact information was gathered through "Voter Registration" data banks.. This "public" information in efforts to randomly contact bonafide citizens of Alaska for anything and everything is a violation under the Declaration of Rights, guaranteed before the Alaska Constitution. According to Article 1 - Declaration of Rights, Section 22. Right of Privacy: "The right of the people to privacy is recognized and shall not be infringed." Therefore you shall refrain from contacting any and all Alaskans through use of this data or through any means unless interested parties - Alaskan citizens - contact your organization directly in efforts to allow and accept participation in your mission and or survey. Any further attempts to contact Alaskans will result in a violation of constitutional law, be considered a breach of privacy and you may be subpoenaed in the Alaska Courts of Law to answer to why these practices of malfeasance continued when warned to cease & desist, from violating an individual’s right to privacy. Even though voter registration is indeed "public" information, it still does not allow a violation of an individual’s rights to such. This notification serves as your organizations last clear chance correspondence to cease & desist from such practices, following complaints from Alaskan residents, who value their right to privacy.

Respectfully Submitted;
S. Pam Magee/MaGoo Associates

How Many Trillion?

I do believe the U.S. Treasury folks have lost count of how much U.S. Taxpayers’ money has been stolen away, in just the last few months. But maybe they were instructed to loose count, as the thieves behind this prank crime of all times probably utilized that bully-boy attitude - we know where you live! Stolen away money paints a truer picture of the crime scene, even if financed under the disguise of BARF or a Recovery "Something" Act. Both are nothing short an act of treason, this bailout giveaway program. Why so? Because when the representatives behind this thievery are now starting to talk and demand "transparency", the only thing transparent is a glimpse into their lack of credibility. What is with this aftermath demand? Give me a break. Do you really think that anybody who has squandered away some of that loot is about to come clean? This is good old American greed at work. Remember that show, called "Is Your 4th Grader Smarter then Sarah Palin?" or something to that effect. Well how about a new show, called "Are You as Stupid as Your Congressmen" or how about this, "Are You Lame Enough to Steal from Your Brother?" And was this treason like giveaway bailout performed without transparency so there would never be any accountability in concert with yet another attempt by Congress to screw the taxpayers? Sorry, Mr. Hill, we are not that stupid. You and the entire body of Congress are stupid, insane and sick to believe that we Americans are like yourselves, stupid. And with the banks that hosted a bailout extravaganza, well they all signed on the dotted line, under the clause where it stipulates a non-binding contract. I will tell you what seems to fall under the non-binding category, the oath these idiots swear upon for the office then soon after throw any semblance of ethics overboard. To ask for "transparency" after the fact is like the "Bridges to Nowhere" that made Alaska famous not too long ago. Yes indeed, just build a bridge even if there exists no infrastructure to hook up roads in efforts to utilize the bridge, as that is a problem to contend with after the bridge is erected and painted and the contractor retires for life because he is rich. Here we go again, the U.S. Congress must think the American voters are stupid, with this transparency bull-crap. Fact of the matter is this, if the money isn’t accountable, then we need the "Untouchables" to pull a Capone on crookedness. In fact, maybe what we need is Capone, with his bat to knock some sense into the idiots that throw away my hard earned money then ask for accountability. Money given away with not one iota of a thread attached with respect to where or how that money is to benefit me, the shareholder, now holding a bunch of debt and zero value assets! Yes indeed, the U.S. Congress went to a fire sale and purchased hot air! It is beyond highway robbery. Matter of fact, this country would be on better footing financially if the Mafia were running things. As corruption with that entity is a bonafide right. Can we use the RICO statutes to go after members of Congress that voted for this crap? It may not be "Racketeering" but it sure sounds like it fits under the category of "Corrupt Organizations". If not, then we Americans have not rules and regulation tough enough upon those we elect to uphold our rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. I just received a green card from the property tax assessor. I owe! Not unusual, but the return address for payment is in China. Is this outsourcing? Or has this entire mess allowed another foreign country to buy my future? Who am I indebt too, a communist regime? And get this. There is talk of yet another bailout, something called "Son of BARF", or words to that effect. Why? Because it seems that those in Congress flunked out on basic math aptitude. Sure enough, according to Mr. Hill, we don’t get a bang for our buck. With $2.3-trillion already stolen away, we only see $800-billion in transparency. It is a Return-on-Investment that is pathetic to say the least. So instead of the "Act" creating 3-million jobs, it means about 1-million, because of burecratic insanism creep. It makes one want to "BARF"! What ever happened to America? What ever happened to brotherly love? That is the sad fact of the matter when historians paint the present state of affairs with what happened in the 30s and other depression like eras. But is was brotherly love that made the difference back then. Do you really think that when the times get tougher that those with offshore loot will bring it back home to help you get a bowl of soup? I really doubt it. In fact they will probably use that money to post guards at their "guarded" community neighborhoods. Instead of "Brother can you spare a dime", it will be more like "Brother can you spare a bullet". It goes to show that bipartisan that was allowed to brew out of control during the Clinton and Bush & Bush years of no accountability has taken this country on a roller coaster ride to disaster. We have had not even close a statesmen like president of statute for a long, long time. Will Obama prove to be different then the rest, time will tell. In the meantime how about this for transparency. Rushpublicans - Rush’s neo-followers that believe UFOs visit the earth so aliens can gather intelligence from conservative thinkers instead of liberals. Republicans - those that believe in a Republic first under a Democracy. Democrats - those that believe in Democracy first upon a Republic and then there comes the Carvillecrats, those that kiss anything that looks like a Clinton, even if it an ass. And independents, hey we would have control of our money! In fact, we would use stimulus money to invite aliens to take the neo-scats with them. And we would erect a Clinton ass-kissing monument, hanging out over the Grand Canyon, bon voyage!

Kelly's Heroes

I was glad to see that Fairbanks’ Rushpublican Senator Mike Kelly is in favor of drafting a bill that allows for Federally restricted firearms to be built in Alaska. Why? For several reasons of impotence. First and foremost it may create jobs. Second, with a downturn in the global economy and freight loading and unloading down 50% at the Ted Stevens’ "Pork Breath" International Airport, it means the availability of specialized equipment to foster a re-birth of specialized weaponry, the kind allowed under Kelly’s beak. Note: A bill becomes a beak when it creeps beyond its original goal, like adding earmarks. And last but not least, with North Korea having now the ability to lob a missile from there to here - Alaska Standard Time - we need the capability to lob something back. A payload of dog crap would suffice. I heard somebody say a payload of Juneau politicians would be a better choice. Sorry, as the majority has taken off to D.C., for some energy conference, so you can’t count on fodder being available and hot air just doesn’t have the punch. I see they are really in favor of energy conservation! Remember, its Spring Break! Now sure we have the secret star wars initiative stuff that is positioned in expensive underground concrete silos around Alaska’s backcountry, but not so secret about this project is the fact it don’t work. The silos leak water. In fact, the silos go flooded and the water short-circuits the launch and guidance systems. But regardless of this deterrent’s dim record of availability or success lacking, it is used as a fake-out smokescreen, to intimidate space invaders. So we can afford us some protection on the cheap, by using technology now owned by the U.S. for occupying Iraq. I am sure there exists some "stimulus" money for my project. Hey, if the Alaska Railroad - hasn’t shown a profit in 50-years - can get some of this free-for-all money, there has got to be some loot for other freeloaders? So my project goes like this and in harmony with Kelly’s bill as introduced during his meeting with the "2nd Amendment Task Force". My project calls for the re-creation of Saddam Hussein’s "Big Gun" or was it "Super Gun" and was cast in the disguise as the "Babylon Project". For those that don’t remember what started to make Hussein famous and in the crosshairs of debate, it wasn’t the gassing of humans, but it was his dream of the "Big Gun". It used non-specialized components in effort to construct these immobile like 120-ft long guidance tubes, as nobody would sell this crackpot even a pea-shooter never mind a BB gun. So he improvised and started buying equipment designed and destined for a refinery project under the "Babylon". Just plain old pieces of pipe! See, he had oil and he had money. With that, the buying of heavy duty precisely machined pipe components was allowed even under international embargoes. In fact, many of the high-pressure fittings that made it over to Iraq when Hussein was still breathing came from the United States! The pipe would be bolted together and in the end would be born this "Big Gun". It could be used to lob almost anything toward Iran, even gas filled projectiles. And that makes my project even more worthwhile, as a few gas bombs lobbed over the tundra from my "Babylon" could devastate the entire wolf population. Especially now that "gassing" is allowed in the 49er by authority of the Alaska Board of Hitlerism! So with a refinery in North Pole that is under-producing - with that the high price of motor fuel - we have before us an opportunity to use some of the un-used crap that is just going to rust away. See, the only reason that refinery remains in existence is because the railroad gives it a break for transporting jet fuel to Anchorage. Here it is in a nutshell. The railroad gives the refinery a break. With that, the refiner sees a return-on-investment higher then reality, which in turn sets the stage for high motor gasoline pricing. That is why the Attorney General could find no reason for the high price at the pumps. There is nothing illegal going on, as it is all a matter of prudent business practices. But it is the Alaska Railroad’s interference that is getting in the way of fair pricing. Somebody has to pay! Now this state would have been better off by spending money investing in the Fairbanks airport infrastructure instead of what has occurred over the years in Anchorage. In the interior, there was already a rail spur line from the refinery to the airport proper and there have been private businesses looking at building a pipeline to supply the airport’s needs. It is a business and it would have been a whole lot cheaper transporting jet fuel from the source to Fairbanks instead of the added cost to get it all the way to Anchorage. So the entire cargo infrastructure should be moved, to Fairbanks. I am tired of those jets flying overhead my Anchorage home. And it is scaring the Dickens out of the bears. I am really tired of looking at Ted’s pirate ship. Really, that international airport terminal is bizarre looking, like a pirate ship. I guess it fits Ted’s legacy! So I am all in favor of building "Babylon" right here in Alaska. To show the rest of the nation where we stand on gun control. And since the "2nd Amendment Task Force" urges gun owners to openly display their weapons, this "Big Gun" display could become a tourist attraction. And with a downturn in the economy, wrench gangs are ready and willing to go to work. This is a "wrench ready" project that carries with it a sense of heroics. Hey, we haven’t got back diddly squat from Bush’s invasion upon Iraq, at least my project makes an attempt to recoup some of the losses, except the loss of human life!
