  • Sunday Sermon

    Put this thought in your medicinal joint and smoke it. Why is it that there exists today over 800 different denominations in and around Anchorage, nominating to hijack your soul for a fee? Honestly, there is only one Creator! Even if Jerry’s god is thought to be different then Jerry’s [...]

  • Congressional Scam

    What does it mean when a member of Congress voices an opinion of fiction not fact that there exists no perfect health care program? It is just another lie, as he or she or it should look in a close-by wallet and get the name of a provider that “provides”. [...]

  • Dear Don;

    Please shut your trap. Matter of fact, since you are still under the investigator’s magnifying glass, you would be smart to swallow a 5th. After the House passed the “Health Care Reform” bill late Saturday, you went public with your typical explosive diarrhea opinion, that it was a “vote to [...]

  • PedEX Award

    Anchorage has become the recipient of the coveted PedEX award, for the “Most Unfriendly” city with respect to pedestrians. Baghdad’s “Green Zone” was 2nd as roadside bombs were included as part of the grading criteria with respect to collateral damage. So what does that signify? Ped means “pedestrian” and EX [...]

  • Factory Floor

    Stimulus and bailouts! Buzz words or reality? All designed to get the American economy out of the sinkhole. It is hard to say if the plan is working. Maybe a little bit here and there, but the formula for success is missing an important ingredient. It is called an infusion, [...]

  • Understanding MLR

    It means Medical Loss Ratio! It isn’t something dreamt up overnight, but known about and monitored for some long enough time by now, by our very own DC – Disenfranchised Congress. The Medical Loss Ratio dictates how much money that you and I spend on out of pocket medical insurance [...]

  • Dirty Jury Duty

    Is jury duty really a random act of disenfranchising those that feel it is their duty to brave the court system of today to uphold justice? For some reason, I never get picked, anymore that is. So maybe there exists a “black list” kept hidden away for creative rejection upon [...]

  • Rush To Judgment

    Too bad the World Series wasn’t forever everlasting, as with a one-night stand break from “Take me out to the ballgame”, all we hear about is some off the wall political election with zero meaning taking place somewhere, like it is a national erection time of importance. And why is [...]

  • Go Botox!

    Love them Yankees! Love them Phillies! Even though I am a loyal Red Sox’s fan, the showdown between the Phillies and the Yankees is another chapter in good old Americanism. Much deserved and needed nowadays. Especially when we continue to see a meltdown in politics and “We the people” need [...]

  • Twain'd Again!

    Mark Twain couldn’t find any kind things to say about U.S. Senators, even insisting that a Senator was “a person who makes laws in Washington when not doing time.” In Eruption, Twain quotes, “We have lately sent a United States Senator to the penitentiary, but I am quite well aware [...]

  • Biggest Losers

    For the 43rd week in a row, the American Taxpayers have once again earned the dishonor of the “Biggest Losers”! Why so? Because of what U.S. Senator Mark “Change My Diaper” Begich maintains a self inflicted shoulder pat like congratulations upon, for accomplishing to waste more money in his home [...]

  • Bipartisan Revolution

    Stimulus? Bailout? What do all these political fluff words really mean for you and I with respect to the economy? It puzzles me, to what is really going on behind the scenes of complacency - I mean transparency. Woody Guthrie would probably have a hay-day with what is going on [...]

    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 [...]

  • 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 [...]

    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 [...]

    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 [...]

  • Afghanistan, Iraq & the Moon!

    After hearing that U.S. President Barack Obama was the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, Rush was rushed to an undisclosed hospital location after complaining of groin pain. His condition remains cautious, but it appears he was kicked back pretty hard. Word just in: Glenn Beck was found un-conscious, authority’s [...]

    I haven’t ventured downtown Anchorage since Begich left office and turned out the lights behind him and before the City Hall door could kick him in the you know what! But the lights are still out on the 5th on 5th, so who in hell is running local government? Looking [...]

    My morning paper was late again! So maybe there was a printing press malfunction, which allowed a misprint in the morning news! The Anchorage Daily Stool read; “Palin Finishes Memoir “Going Rogue” along side “Iran Test Fires Missile that can Wreck Israel”. There has to be a mix-up! I believe [...]

    Yes, the word is out! “Global Warming” has hit Alaska, as evidenced right here in Anchorage. The convincing research backing the official “It’s here” was found in my own backyard. A few years back I noticed that the French “Dent de Lion” or dandelion species - dreaded by most homeowners [...]

    As Anchorage’s newly elected Mayor Dan “What’s Diversity” Sullivan continues to sit at the right hand of the scab - a.k.a. Jerry Prevo - it appears that budget wows are the mayor’s front and center realization. Sure Prevo is a scab, no different then those that are willing to cross [...]

It is an office specifically reserved for Jerry Prevo and the main objective of the “devils” presence at the main [...]

  • Anchorage's Mesothelioma Nightmare

    Alaska has always been considered a unique state, most of the time that sentiment towards its unchallenged natural beauty. But one cannot always judge a book by its cover. So on the environmental atrocity scale, this state may tip the scale. Sure there came the EXXON Valdez wreck wherein crude [...]

    Wow, I was “EJECTED” from Ann Coulter’s “chat” room site. All I did was engage in conversation with Ann in efforts to see if she would entertain a mud-wrestling match with Sarah Palin! And things were getting close to the contract stage by agreeing on a few minor modifications. Ann [...]

    OK, so what big deal nothing that Sarah Palin thought this so-called “Cap & Trade” energy policy was just that, a trading in of one’s multi-colored ball-cap studded with a toy wind turbine, a.k.a. Propeller Beanie Cap. The entertainment keeps on coming! And she isn’t even a comedian. But when [...]

    Anchorage has become the recipient of the 2009 KINGdown Award. This award is presented to the city that is most challenged with issues of equal rights and showing signs that it will most likely “Not Succeed”, wherein equal rights fall “down” in a way that would have frustrated Martin Luther [...]

    Once again the “Outsiders” - a.k.a. Pandora’s Pundits - are feverishly trying to cash in on foretelling what will be Sarah Palin’s legacy. Failed run at the presidency as John “Madman” McCain’s running mate? A multi-million dollar book deal wherein the ending was not until she resigned? Can you imagine [...]

    Upon listening to the pundits try in vain to figure out what Sarah Palin is up too, it is evident that those that practice the 1st Amendment outside of Alaska are completely lost in limbo. So I have just signed a book deal that isn’t quite as lucrative as Sarah’s, [...]

    Come get me Tom Van Flake! Sarah Palin is “Off Her Knocker Rocker”. McCain did indeed create a knocker rocker monster extraordinaire, “Sarahstein”.

    Dear John McCain;

    Why did you create such a monster? I am talking about Sarastein, a.k.a. Sarah Palin. Was this by design, using the original formula that produced Frankinstein? Or was Sarastein an experiment gone bad? Was it your intent to break out this secret weapon during the election [...]
