AKM on The Mike Molloy Show

The inimitable Brad Friedman is subbing for Mike Molloy on his radio show tonight, and asked if I’d pop on to chat about …  well, you can guess.

 pepto-on-pepto

So, if you’d like to listen in, you can catch the live stream HERE.

    Oh I forgot to add this before I hit enter…oops…
    Thanks to all who live blogged the show. I got up this morning and found this nice surprise for me to read.

    AKM, from what I read, you performed wonderfully (as always).

  2. Misfit in Texas says:

    Would be nice if someone went back and actually investigated all the previous Ethics Complaints that have been dismissed by the ‘Personal’ Personnel Board.
    I am sure, more than one would be found to have merit.

  3. MonaLisa IS MY NAME! says:

    My favorite is the clear duct-tape. Very versatile color!

  4. womanwithsardinecan says:

    Thanks for the liveblogging. I got caught up this morning. As for duct tape, I am an adhesive addict and i love it. It comes in many colors. My husband keeps trying to tell me I can’t use it for this or that. I just glare at him and whip out my duct tape. Always keep a roll in the car and the house.

  5. Quince Squibb Underpinnings says:

    I would hate to have to give up on commenting on the blog and am hoping someone sees this and can advise: every time I try to leave a comment on the blog (for several weeks now) it disappears. Sometimes the comments show up three days later. I’ve never used a link in my life and haven’t used any remotely questionable language, but my comments seem automatically to go to indefinite limbo status.

    Any way to fix this? I have no problems on the Forum.

  6. Irishgirl says:

    Oh my…..great night. I slept very late this morning……hubby didn’t even know I was missing! 🙂

  7. Sean says:

    It’s Malloy!!! I love his show and Brad is a great sub…I’ll catch the podcast…

  8. The Rubber Room Hotel says:

    AKM I did not get to listen but I read all the posts now. THANK YOU!
    Thank you so much for giving Alaska a rational voice.
    I am so tired of the spin and of Palins antics and obfuscation, and down right lies. I am tired of all but some of the MSM not paying attention to the truth and the truth about Alaska Law and Alaska’s {Special} brand of politics.
    [ well except how bad New Jersey seems to be after the latest news]

    BTW I am stuck away from home in Fairbanks for the weekend and will be in the area of PICNIC/Quiter crud/ and Gov lite swearing in. Not sure what antics I will be up to but I can’t imagine that I will let this event go by with out some kind of statement. I was thinking, instead of a sign I will put some Yellow Mud boots on sticks and hold them up.

  9. AKjah says:

    Lay down my dear brothers+sisters Lay down and take your rest. Oh wont you lay your heads apone your saviors breast. I love you oh but AKM loved you the best and i bid you goodnite goodnite goooooodnite.

  10. AKjah says:

    Duct tape is also known as 100 mile an hour tape…to those in aviation. I use it to make bandaids also.

  11. strangelet says:

    BTW, several years ago there were some teenaged girls down here in Cali who made duct-tape wallets and card-holders and got them sold at Nordstrom.

  12. strangelet says:

    Lemme see, how does this work?

    {{{{{{{{UKLady}}}}}}}}

  13. The Rubber Room Hotel says:

    Hey Mudpups!
    Omg I have been very busy and just getting cought up I don’t think I can read all the comments. (but I will try).

    Every time you think, Oh Man this mess just can’t get worse, These crazy people try to throw more crap in the mess. Do they think everyone is just stupid.

  14. UK Lady says:

    Blinking Heck!, have I got some catching up to do or what! That was specially for you Strangelet.

    AKM sounds like you were great.

    Sourdough, You took the words right out of my mouth. Where does one start? How to not sound demented yourself.

  15. AKjah says:

    AKM Great job you rock. And the puppies rock!. I had to work but was able to get the play by play here. Thank you all.

  16. ocliberal says:

    AKM: I just laughed out loud at the duct tape part, especially when you said you might have to research it. That just sounded so – you! I’m still scratching my head over that odd question though. Perhaps you should have a duct tape photo contest to show why Wassila is the duct tape capital of the world.

    But what a great job you did tonight. You are such a wonderful breath of fresh air to so many of us.

    Thank you for all you do.

  17. seattlefan says:

    AKM…glad you said yes this time. You were great. If you were nervous it did not show and the duct tape thing….you handled that wonderfully. Thanks for all you have done and will continue to do. Congratulations on your national airwaves debut!

  18. jojobo1 says:

    She does talk with a smile doesn’t she,kind of reminds me of my favorite teacher.I had even forgot AKM’S street name and id not even connect the name given on the show as hers.Maybe now that Palin will not be governor some people can relax and enjoy without being worried about retaliation

  19. strangelet says:

    Well, I’ve missed everything, but it sounds like a splendid outing, AKM. I’m still trying to comprehend Kristin Cole. Did they have a special English-as-a-foreign-language class at Wasilla High?

  20. akmuckraker says:

    Well, I finally caught up! Thanks to all for the nice compliments! I was definitely a little nervous, so I’m glad it didn’t show. I was all surrounded with stapled papers covered in orange highlighter and circles and arrows, and bullet points… Only used one! LOL!

    Brad Friedman was great. I really admire him on many levels and he was easy to talk to and had good questions.

    The only time I had no idea what to say was to duct tape guy? Wha…?

    Duct tape is everywhere. I know a couple towns that might feel bent out of shape that Wasilla got the “official” title. I even drove around for a while in a car with the headlight held in with duct tape after a fender bender!

    I got asked dozens of times during the election to do stuff like this and always said no… so this was quite an experience. And I did give him permission to use my name. Should have mentioned that. Felt weird, but…

    Anyway, glad you all enjoyed it! I’ll keep you posted if it ever happens again.

  22. Sourdough Mullet says:

    No crap, Martha- I’m seriously thinking of suing Sarah Palin for breach of quality of life! And maybe for some forehead reconstruction surgery after all the headbanging on my desk finally stops – if it ever does!

  23. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    @ Far From Fenway Fan & Sourdough Mullet

    It’s EASY, actually, to point them in the right direction! Buy them three months worth of a hearty cereal & plenty of fresh milk and sit them down at a computer with the old mudflats site:

    http://mudflats.wordpress.com/2008/12/15/mudflats-archives/

    Just remember to tell them that it is very entertaining, heart wrenching, scary, maddening, humorous – and that’s even if they skip all the non Palin posts. And hey, what is three months? Many of us have been doing it for ten-eleven months! She’s stolen so much time, from so many of us…

  24. Sourdough Mullet says:

    @ Canadian Neighbour #482
    Yes, no doubt, I am always SURE to differentiate between the pending books about Palin, and the pending works of fiction BY her.

  25. Canadian Neighbour says:

    Sourdough Mullet Says:
    July 23rd, 2009 at 8:02 PM
    “You’ll have to read the book when it comes out to even begin to get the whole story”.
    ————-
    You should explain to them that you don’t mean Palin’s book as there won’t be a word of truth in it. Her book will be like Bush’s — they will both re-write their “legacies” to their liking — not the truthful ones.

  26. Far From Fenway Fan says:

    I know this would be an overwhelming task, but …?
    So often, my friends/family/acquaintances from Outside ask me “What’s the deal w/ all the controversy over Sarah Palin?”. Needless to say, it’s impossible to give a short answer. And going into it in any degree of detail runs the risk of making ME sound like a fruitcake.

    Got an email from a friend I’ve known for 50 years. Amidst all the news and catching up, he slipped in: “What’s the scoop on Palin?”

    Sourdough Mullet, I know EXACTLY how you feel! Where to begin? When will it end? HOW will it end? WILL it end? It renders one speechless – except for she who is never without speech!

  27. Polly says:

    OT– Excerpt from
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/23/AR2009072303799.html?wprss=rss_nation&sid=ST2009072400003

    Rich Buila, 38, of Sharonville, Ohio, who works in finance and voted for the McCain-Palin ticket in November, said his opinion of the governor has changed. “I don’t think that she is cut out to be on the national stage,” he said. “I look at her education and her background and the way she carries herself and her [resignation] speech, and when you have someone who’s out there saying ‘You betcha’ about 50 times, I don’t think that’s the person we want to have negotiating with other countries.”

  28. knittingbull says:

    This is OT, but I just found it.
    http://abcnews.go.com/PollingUnit/story?id=8157536&page=1

    Sigh. Schadenfreude. I shouldn’t enjoy this but she has thrown too many people
    to the wolves to get her way.

  29. ocliberal says:

    Wow! hearing AKM on my very own radio station was just surreal. I was on my way to pick up my daughter and her friend up from a play rehearsal and all or a sudden there is our very own AKM talking on the radio. I nearly drove the car off the road.

    She was just wonderful and exactly as I have always pictured her – thoughtful, humorous, informed and of course amazingly articulate and intelligent with an absolutely lovely voice.

    What a treat!

    I am however now eagerly awaiting an AKM exclusive expose on “Wasilla – Duct Tape capital of the world”. (I mean seriously was the best question anyone could ask her?)

  30. jojobo1 says:

    wes_ben Waukesha Wisconsin listening also

  31. Village Reader says:

    @ 414 redwoodmuse
    Will AKM still love us when she hits the big time?
    ————–

    AKM is unlike a certain Twittering Quitter, we’re mudpuppies! 😉

    AKM – Great job, followed with the blogging as usual. Folks here are amazing with commentary. ALso fun to read. Mentioned it before, will say it again, you really need to write a book on the Twit. Pleeeese? Then I can send a copy to all my rabid relatives in love with the Twit. 😉

  32. seattlefan says:

    Lol! Irishgirl….I hope you don’t have to work tomorrow. Hubby will get over this, but will you? I hope you get to sleep in as long as you want. Good on you staying up all night to listen.

  33. austintx says:

    Sourdough Mullet –

    Nope…..I’m here in Austin…..never been to Ak. ………except via the tubes here on the ‘flats.

  34. jojobo1 says:

    Already told AKM she did great on the show.I was using IE and it worked fine and I did hear that she said she hoped an attorney could help Kim Maybe she will get help if she wants it.Lets hope so anyway.

    Good call on the Netroots speech!
    __________________________________
    And if you can talk to ( I’m guessing..?) a Million or so people on the radio… what is maybe a few thousand in a friendly setting.

    AKM came across very strong, no hesitation and didn’t seem nervous as all.
    ( probably not like that on the inside though ) Fantastic Job!
    When you are informed , know what you are talking about and have the facts… the confidence comes across… even on the radio.
    Progressive AK radio stations….. were you tuned and and listening…?
    Hint…. Hint

    Nite says I at 5.30 in the morning. Hubby will kill me. 🙂

    “““““““““““““““““““““““`
    Yes I know exactly how you feel. for some one that does not know the whole palin story it can not be short. My mom (83years old) I have been telling her about it over time so she gets it. She says in california she just gets the little 20 or 30 seconds bits so most of the time she misses it. BUT other people I start out and I see people looking at each other and the eye rolling and I just say sorry never mind.

  38. Kilia says:

    EDIT: I meant to say ..audio went “out”. lol

  39. Kilia says:

    AKM…loved hearing your voice!
    Congrats, you got ’em in the palm of your hand.
    Too bad the audio went on near the end.

    *hugs*

  40. Jim says:

    Way to represent, AKM. Really enjoyed the show, even with all the commercials interrupting.

    Any of you who aren’t familiar with Mike Malloy’s own show, he’s well worth listening to. Unfortunately for me, he competes with Rachel Maddow, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert… 😉

  41. leenie17 says:

    AKM – Yayyyyyy!!!!!!

    Couldn’t listen but I followed along here and it sounded like you knocked ’em dead. You and Shannyn do a super job of representing the intelligent, thoughtful and insightful citizens of AK. Keep up the great work in getting the FACTS out there!

  42. Sourdough Mullet says:

    Hey AustinTx – Is it you that recently moved back to Anchorage from Austin, perchance?

    Sourdough Mullet –

    I feel your pain. People look at me when I try to explain……….what can you say ?? Actually , since July 4th………I just laff and say “Uh – Huh”

    Good call on the Netroots speech!

  46. Dr. Patois says:

    AKM! You were fabulous!!! That was so much fun. Thank you! I have to say I did cringe every time he used the “other” name. You will always be AKM to me.

    Welcome to all the new and potential mudpups! You are going to love the flats!

  47. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    Off to bed, Mudpups…

    But “hello” to any new Mudpuppies: welcome in, pull up a chair, read, learn and contribute. This is a VAST community dedicated to thoughtful ideas, truth, integity and most of all humor!

  48. mhrt says:

    Jim Says:
    July 23rd, 2009 at 7:47 PM

    Cassie, where I live I couldn’t get ANY progressive-type radio until I bought satellite. That’s where I tune into NPR and BBC! Before, all I could get was rush and clones…
    “““““““““““““““““““
    Yicks that would be terrible…That is why the Midwest is like it is ..it is all they hear. My relatives are in Arkansas and they only get a few channels on radio and tv and way to poor to pay for more..after the health care thing I think our President need to work on getting the internet out there so more people know the truth.

  49. austintx says:

    I mentioned way up thread when brads guest before AKM was talking about voting machine fraud that brad has good info on that. ck. it out on bradsblog. you might have to dig a bit……it is worth it……….quite frankly , he has some alarming info……that one shyster visited Ak. 17 times…….shanynn blogged about it way back ….visit brad……..he clearly has said he is an ally.

  50. Sourdough Mullet says:

    I know this would be an overwhelming task, but …?
    So often, my friends/family/acquaintances from Outside ask me “What’s the deal w/ all the controversy over Sarah Palin?”. Needless to say, it’s impossible to give a short answer. And going into it in any degree of detail runs the risk of making ME sound like a fruitcake. So I usually just end up saying “she’s completely deranged. Seriously – mentally ill. And corrupt as he!!, but I can’t begin to even explain. You’ll have to read the book when it comes out to even begin to get the whole story”.
    So anyway, I keep waiting for AKM to write the definitive “Book of Sarah Palin Horror Stories”. But of course, the story never seems to have an ending. Poor AKM can’t even come up for air, much less write a book, before a whole new episode of Sarah’s Crazy Train comes barrelling down the tracks. But would it be possible to compile a collection of the “Best Of Sarisodes” ? (yes, I know that’s an oxymoron). But a few, carefully compiled blog posts might be very effective in giving a newcomer a taste of the real story, without having to subject them cold-turkey to a full-on Palinoscopy. Anybody else think this would be possible?

  51. honestyinGov says:

    If the Netroots people are smart they will ask AKM to speak at the Convention about the whole Palin Odyssey, fiasco, story or whatever you want to call it.

    I’m guessing some of those people don’t know even half of the stuff $arah has done. It needs to be told so that when she ‘ TRIES ‘ to spread her crap all over the Lower 48 in the coming years the other bloggers there at the convention can tell or inform people about the REAL $arah Palin.
    It is the responsibility of the other blogs to now make sure she has no voice to spread her ideology , hate and stupidity.

    Lower 48 blogs need to take a stand like AKM has done.

  52. zyggy says:

    “I want a picture of Brian with headphones like Shannyn’s on!” Gramiam, the real live wild huge one, or the wee non violent Brian? =) You would see me near Brian the real moose, saying, “Come on Brian, but you’d look so cute wearing them.”

  53. rebekkah says:

    Couldn’t get the link. But, I just wish there could be a new type of interviewing where the ads, commercials could all be heard at the beginning of a show; then, the interview start and keep on an easy flow without all the interruptions. The interruptions hurt the conversation because they have to repeat everything every 5 minutes. With so much to hear and learn, we get side-swiped every few minutes with that darn break.

    It’s like that everywhere, tv talk shows……no one takes the time to dissect and elaborate on a subject. PBS right now is the only option.

  54. HistoryGoddess says:

    A great big atta woman to AKM, and an even bigger one to all of you live bloggers. I was in a meeting and using headphones would have been too obvious. But, I could follow along on the iTouch without looking too obvious. THANKS!!!

  55. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    mhrt – lucky you! wish we had it here, too.

  56. justafarmer says:

    on my way Gramian!

  57. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    I’m headed for chat. Anyone else coming?

  58. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    Gramiam – maybe DrChill could work on that one!

  59. mhrt says:

    I think she will always have a night time kitchen open for us. She will not leave us by the side of the road. Think of how cares about Brian.
    Yahoo the show is replaying right now in oregon on my radio.

  60. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    I want a picture of Brian with headphones like Shannyn’s on!

  61. justafarmer says:

    ditto what Ennealogic said @439
    warm welcome to the new folks! Take a moment or two to check the Comment Guidelines link at the top of the page, explore Mudflats, and have fun!

  62. curiouser says:

    I hope some Palin fans were listening and were properly shocked to hear the happy, positive, intelligent conversation.

  63. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    The world can NEVER have enough mudpuppies!!

  64. Shadow's Heart says:

    I like to see her on Keith I think he would appreciate her wit. I like his chuckle. LOL

  65. antiAnti says:

    dip of the antlers from Brian, I am sure.

  66. rebekkah says:

    Thanks guys for the live press. Very exciting.

  67. Ennealogic says:

    Oh! Welcome to the folks who are just now finding The Mudflats!

  68. lexky says:

    a weekly segment

  69. justafarmer says:

    lexky, you were great and made Kentucky proud in liveblogging!

  70. Visitor says:

    Okay, did anyone record it so it can be posted somewhere?

  71. lexky says:

    keith olbermann
    her and shannyn
    how great would that be

  72. Professor Geezer says:

    AKM, is it time for YOUR VERY OWN SHOW?????

  73. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Sorry Visitor! yep, it’s over. We live blogged though so you can read the gist of it.

  74. wilbo says:

    Don’t you think AKM would be perfect for the AK Personnel Board?

  75. lexky says:

    justafarmer
    no body noises to speak of
    hope i did you proud
    go big blue
    go akm

  76. Visitor says:

    DANG.

  77. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    Big, wet, slurpy, Mudpuppy kisses to our very own AKM!

    It is just great to see the negative attention SP has called down on herself being finally brought into the light.

    Someone enlighten me: what complaints are yet to be ruled on? Can this be the teaser? If she takes this one the others will go away? What are the issues in the undecided ones?

  78. zyggy says:

    or at least on Rachel’s show, at least she wouldn’t tease her like I know David would

  79. Ennealogic says:

    It felt like Brad was pretty well-prepped, but it felt like AKM was this incredible fount of information and had so much to offer and there simply wasn’t enough time to tap into it to quench one’s thirst in between the commercials and stuff..

  80. seattlefan says:

    AKM….you rocked that segment! I believe Brad is very informed and thus a reader of your blog and the rest of the excellent AK progressive blogs. Congratulations on your national exposure! Sirius is listened to by many.

    I’m glad you are “coming out”, but you will always be AKM to me. I’m guessing we are going through a transition here. It had to happen at some point and what a great forum to be yourself. You sounded so comfortable and at ease.

    Great job!!!!!!!!

  81. Visitor says:

    It’s not over, is it? I just got the stream.

  82. Jim says:

    Cassie, where I live I couldn’t get ANY progressive-type radio until I bought satellite. That’s where I tune into NPR and BBC! Before, all I could get was rush and clones…

  83. akmuckraker says:

    Whew! OK…I got my breath back. 419 comments?? 🙂 You guys are great. Now, I’m going to start reading!

  84. Sourdough Mullet says:

    Now we just need to get her on Letterman…..
    😉

  85. honestyinGov says:

    I think he told the callers to go to Mudflats. net about a dozen times…

    I guess he wants ‘ serverguy ‘ to work overtime trying to keep the server from crashing… ha!
    I’m guessing the number of hits go up this week.

  86. Shadow's Heart says:

    Good job AKM

  87. Alaska Pi says:

    yay AKM !
    and Yay for mudpuppies who live blogged-
    I’m caught up after losing feed…

  88. justafarmer says:

    apparently there were no farts tonight or lexky would have noticed, good job AKM!

  89. pvazwindy says:

    Sometimes I feel like I want to call her mom

  90. austintx says:

    Bravo !!

  91. zyggy says:

    I agree Sourdough, she did a great job, very clear and consise, not a single world salad. =)

  92. Ebit5000 says:

    Good show (except for the commercials) but I wanted more AKM!!!!

  107. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    TERRIFFIC!

    How many new mudflatters are we getting tonight?

  108. Duke says:

    I lost the audio feed too.

  109. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    brad suggests one more ethics complaint – re SP’s use of state website to post about *personal atty* info

    oh crud – lost the feed after the abort-her -gov-term line…

  111. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Brad suggests another ethics compalaint before the door hits her on the way out. This one about using State website for personal use.

    Brad saying Palin is using State web site to post private attorney’s comments, there should be another ethics complaint before palin leaves office.

  113. mhrt says:

    OK ..now we know why AKM tries to keep us on topic, She is going big.

  114. MonaLisa IS MY NAME! says:

    YAY for AKM!!!! GREAT job, AKM!!

  115. lexky says:

    thats it
    she was awesome

  116. Trini says:

    Cole (I’m ignorant). AKM on her press release: despite overwhelming evidence, yes SP sanctioned it. And they all panicked. Then VF said oh, just give me the money. He finds this amusing. He suggests that there should be another complaint for using the state website to post her private attorneys comments using the site for her private use. His opinion. She blurs the line between personal and private (AKM)

  117. Jim says:

    Cassie, I bought a lifetime subscription to Sirius for $500. Worth every penny!

  118. pvazwindy says:

    like this guy’s ideas

  119. curiouser says:

    IrishGirl – any stores close by open in the wee hours….or you better get to sleep fast!

  120. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    the original Texan wanting to set up the fund…and nooooooooooo it has to be SARAH’s thing—
    Brad wants another ethics complaint re: van Flein’s statement on the AK official site…but I think it was gone this afternoon…

  121. Tina in Tennessee says:

    AKM ~ you are brilliant, and you have a delightful laugh.

  122. Tealwomin says:

    great show

  123. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    cole sez she never said nuttin’ bout no fund to SP… ha!

  124. Ennealogic says:

    Brad keeps giving the web site name. Yay! TheMudflats.net. Yes!

    Ohh on to Kristan Cole… who said she’d never spoken to Sarah about the Fund.

    Daniel had said if Palin had no knowledge of it, it wouldn’t be wrong. But Daniel discovered that Palin definitely had knowledge of it. Mentioning the Texas one.

  125. MonaLisa IS MY NAME! says:

    3 page panic-y screed in response to ethics complaint. Sarah wants us to believe she had nothing to do with AFT.

  126. Sourdough Mullet says:

    lost the feed. Dam@ !

  127. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Palin “aborted” her term. AKM says duct tape permeates entire state. AKM couldn’t say if Wasilla is center. Brad says GO to Mudflats!! all sorts of shoutouts!! Am loving this! Read our comments for the straight skinny.

  128. Irishgirl says:

    I am on my last cigarette…not funny

  129. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    Lexki & Duke–and do people actually pay for serius?

  130. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    Kristan Cole stuff…

  131. mhrt says:

    He really admires AKM.

  132. Duke says:

    #354
    lexky Says: too many commercials
    =========
    Agreed.

  133. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    AKM agrees with me about duct tape – she is truly an Alaskan of the best kind!

  134. Trini says:

    AKM, lots of uses for duct tape. Making boats out of it.

  135. MonaLisa IS MY NAME! says:

    There’s this about duct tape. Save it for the next commercial break.

    http://www.ducttapeguys.com/wasilla/index.html

  136. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    Duct tape and AKM is gonna be totally cool–mentioning meth capital and saying the the whole state uses duct tape! Kool!

  137. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    will have “aborted her first term” as gov…

  138. Sourdough Mullet says:

    I love this guy! He calls it as he sees it!

  139. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    Hah! Brad used “aborted” her term! Oh sorry, I wasn’t going to live blog.

  140. Fortress McCain Palin says:

    Take all the duct tape in Wasilla and use it on Scarah’s fingers,mouth and her mouthpiece too!! Er scratch that -let em yak yak and BURY their worthless selves. All the duct t ape in the world won’t help shut her up. Cher Fortress McCain Palin

  141. Tina in Tennessee says:

    It was a palinbotish distracting question…

    …just sayin’.

  142. curiouser says:

    thx for the great blogging pups! I’m listening but still missing bits here and there.

  143. Professor Geezer says:

    @pvazwindy, I am with you on wanting a trial!

  144. Tealwomin says:

    bob marley

  145. Sourdough Mullet says:

    scandal capital….

  146. Ennealogic says:

    Last segment.

  147. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Well of course she is, bless her cotton-pickin’ l’il ‘ol heart!

  148. Suchanut says:

    LOL Cassie!

  149. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    @ Cassie Jeep Pike Palin

    Wow, what’s WD 40? We’ve been missing somethin’?

  150. pvazwindy says:

    Duct tape capital-meth capital -centex capital

  151. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    Someone call in! We need to get off the duct tape conspiracy theory!

  152. redwoodmuse says:

    Anyone heard whether Kim is planning to sue?

  153. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    Martha– MOST American need only two tools–duct tape and WD 40. If it moves when it shouldn’t, use duct tape. If it won’t move and it should, use w d 40.

  154. lexky says:

    to many commercials

  155. Sourdough Mullet says:

    Wasilla really was voted Duct Tape capitol. Caller has visited Wasilla, and was apparently astute about the culture there. I think he is trying to determine if Palin is a fan of black helicopter conspiracy theorists, like so many other Wasillans.

  156. mhrt says:

    WOW can you believe the exposure that this is getting.

  157. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Oh, you mean caller?

  158. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    One of the funniest Anchorage shows was by Mr. Whitekeys – and one year he had Miss Alaska in the filmed part of the show in a duct tape pageant dress. Alaskans in the audience laughed like hyenas – the visitors who accompanied these residents kind of wondered what was so funny?

  159. pvazwindy says:

    i want a court trial

  160. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Too much adult beverage?

  161. Professor Geezer says:

    Thanks for the live-blogging, everyone!

  162. VernD says:

    uh oh… 57 is shut down in both directions!!!!

  163. Trini says:

    Another traffic report. Just stay off the roads folks. How hard can that be?

  164. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    No Palinbot! Progressive blogger.

  165. antiAnti says:

    hey, need a moderator over there to get caller on topic

  166. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    Bye, Lori

  167. Ennealogic says:

    What a waste of a question though… :p

  168. JHop says:

    Duke Says:
    July 23rd, 2009 at 7:29 PM: Thomas Daniel submitted his report in its final form on July14. I have a feeling Palin and Stapleton think a report from the Personnel Board is the only one that counts, the final one.

    yes i agree 100%

  169. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    OK, all of you already know that ALASKA is the duct tape capital of the world right? Second in line is that we are the BLUE TARP capital of the world! It’s true. The whole state.

  170. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Wasilla-Duct tape capital of the world! This from San Francisco caller. Duct tape use to seal homes after anthrax scare post 911. Was this part of the Palin stuff?

  171. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    I have to take a call myself (biz, how dare they)…..later pups

  172. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    WTF?????

  173. Ennealogic says:

    Caller asking question – said Wasilla was duct tape capital of world .. was there some sort of inside gift to Wasilla after 9/11 so they got that reputation?

    Commercial break, AKM gets to answer after.

  174. Irishgirl says:

    Great stuff…keep it going

  175. Tina in Tennessee says:

    Is Dave a Palinbot?

  176. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    OMG , the it’s the Duct Tape Capital of the World Wasilla conspiracy theory from the caller!

  177. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    Wasilla–the Duct tape capital of the world via Google according to caller–

    is there a connection to Sarah pre 9/11 as re: ductaping your home to secure it from Anthrax?

  178. lexky says:

    duct tape?

  179. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    duct tape? 1st, a break

  180. Trini says:

    Caller, Dave in SF. Does Palin have an inside to duct tape sales? Whaa?

  181. seattlefan says:

    Talking about the iceburg! Housegate and now threats to Shannyn Moore! This is awesome! This guy must be one of us because he knows all that we know. Now talking about Kim Chatman. Defamation suit very possible. AFT is still accepting money. Palin knew for more than a week about this and the fund is still up and accepting money. Ohhhhh….this is so good. This guy totally has been reading Mudflats and other AK blogs.

    He wants someone to sue for defamation.

  182. justafarmer says:

    hahaha Lori @313!

  183. Sourdough Mullet says:

    Says Palin et al are “Cowards and Bullies” , as Shannyn said. Yay again!!

  184. ds55 says:

    ROFL! Duct tape capital of the world = Wasilla.

  185. austintx says:

    he is on board to “push back”

  186. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    wrath of Palin adminisration on Kim Chatman. AKM calls them BULLIES! go AKM. caller calling in now.

  187. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Atty states as fact that Kim Chatman leaked report.
    On day she is accused, her dad died.
    Time to push back the cowards and bullies!!

  188. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    van Flein has not submitted a bill yet and could be paid? and yet he has made an accusation against KIM…Brad sound like he really wants to get the bastards for intimidation even after she(Kim) denied having leaked it..

    Time to push back against the bullies!

  189. Trini says:

    Push back against the cowards and the bullies.

  190. Ennealogic says:

    AKM adding that day after report came out Kim’s father passed away. 🙁 So she’s been piled on.

  191. Sourdough Mullet says:

    Woo Hoo! He “hopes to hell” that someone sues Palin and her attorneys, as they have been trying to intimidate journalists for a long time now”. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  192. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    the day they accuse chatman, her father dies

  193. austintx says:

    brad is sayin’ SUE

  194. Duke says:

    Sarah Palin and Meg Stapleton see and twist things differently.

    Here is a possible reason for the confusion.

    Thomas Daniel submitted his report in its final form on July14. I have a feeling Palin and Stapleton think a report from the Personnel Board is the only one that counts, the final one.

  195. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    akm says the fund is up and running, even after the report said Palin could not accept the money.
    me: poor saps at sea of pea. did someone say Kristan Cole’s maiden name is Sapp? ha.

  196. Trini says:

    VF has not asked for the money to be given back.

  197. Ennealogic says:

    AKM noting that fund is still up and running even though the report stated she had to not take any of the money.

  198. 264 Crayons says:

    she never follows any recommendations – she’s mavr-ICKY all the time.

  199. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    SP knew for a week–and yet the site is still soliciting funds—

  200. Ennealogic says:

    AKM saying report was in many hands, was out for a week (actually it’s been 9 days now).

  201. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    AKM mentions fund is still collecting money.

  202. MonaLisa IS MY NAME! says:

    Fund is still accepting $$

  203. Trini says:

    The fund is still accepting money.

  204. antiAnti says:

    @JHOP – lite gov. still saying ‘preliminary” in press release today
    http://www.ltgov.state.ak.us/news.php?id=4282

  205. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    mentions threats to Shannyn from atty. Now blames Kim Chatman. Unless evidence is there and is illegal, Kim has cause of action.

  206. Duke says:

    The Thrilla from Wasilla is a Quitta on Twitta.

  207. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    how van flein threatened shannyn and main stream media outlets – how shannyn never stated “as fact” but stated rumors. similarities with how hey blame kim chatman for leaking report, how do they know who leaked it?
    says Kim chatman has defamation suit cause. kim said she did NOT leak it – the report is in many hands.

  208. Trini says:

    AKM says she did not leak it.

  209. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    getting to the “time to sue Sarah and Van FLEIN (twist mustache)

  210. Ennealogic says:

    Now he’s on to Flea saying that Kim leaked the report…

  211. Ennealogic says:

    Brad mentioning how Van Flea threatened Shannyn with a suit… calling what Flea said was already defamatory then..

  212. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    Austin–Brad knows his stuff!

  213. JHop says:

    it was the final report from the investigator. the personnel board subsequently produces their own report based on the investigator’s findings…

  214. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    discusses threat against Shannyn and MSM who were considering reporting it…

  215. austintx says:

    brad is on the case

  216. Trini says:

    re: speculation on why she was quitting, and the iceberg scandle…could be the house….but he talks about VF threatening SM.

  217. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    @ Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin

    Good typing and summary! You type fast!

  218. Tealwomin says:

    slime

  219. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    Brad asks if it’s the iceberg–references housegate, etc.

  220. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    talking about housegate now

  221. Tealwomin says:

    thomas van slim…

    she loves that VAN name

  222. MonaLisa IS MY NAME! says:

    She’s a quitting quitter! LMAO!

  223. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    are you suggesting that Palin and atty would “parse words?” to AKM

  224. lexky says:

    quitting quitter……….

  225. MonaLisa IS MY NAME! says:

    Twit’s fault Irish. It’s a 24/7 soap opera!

  226. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    VAN FLEIN—twist, twist that mustache!

  227. Trini says:

    She says they are parsing words on whether they have “received” anything from the trust.

  228. antiAnti says:

    If it was _PRELIMINARY_ then Chatman could NOT have had access to it. They can not have their cake and eat it too.

  229. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    daniels said she (Palin) has to give the money back…..did $ go to SP’s attorney?

  230. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    they say she hasn’t rec’d any $$ yet – but… coulda gone straight to the atty – so who knows?

  231. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Alaska Fund Trust – hubristic name. Kristen Cole, old buddy from H.S. Who leaked report. Is report preliminary? AKM says no. Says it is final. Daniels said to NPR that report is final

  232. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    expllins that Daniels report IS final, with ways for her to get out from under….

  233. Ennealogic says:

    AKM saying this IS the final report, even though Palin says otherwise. AKM says Daniel said this IS final.

  234. Trini says:

    She explains the process of the report going to the board and the Palin people trying to spin it as not being the final report. But he said no, it’s his final report with recommendations.

  235. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    hi justafarmer

  236. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    Brad says is was a “preliminary report” NO brad, it said FINAL REPORT on it.

  237. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    speculation re who leaked it to AP

  238. justafarmer says:

    I’m here Lori, don’t have a livestream tonight

  239. Ennealogic says:

    Brad is recapping the findings of the report.

  240. Irishgirl says:

    AKM has bloody killed me. I haven’t had a decent night’s sleep since last August.
    Maybe I should blame the twit!!

  241. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    talking about the leaked report and kim chattman – complaint asked if Palin’s legal defense fund is legal – explaining why it may not be legal under AK law. AKM mentions friend Kristen Cole and that Cole, the trustee has been appointed to various boards by Palin.

  242. Trini says:

    She talks about the trustee (Cole)

  243. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    …hubristic name for the fund—not all folks even understand that word! I love AKM…

  244. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    AKM has a clear voice, well spoken. Doesn’t say “um”. How does she do that?

  245. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    good enuf for me, MYUS

  246. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Latest news about Sarah. Kim Chatman’s ethics complaint and the leak to AP

  247. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    talking about Kim Chatman….and the Daniels report

  248. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    AKM she will ALWAYS be – but she can also be JD in the “other world’ of folks who don’t know her. It’s her choice, she’s happy about it!

  249. Ennealogic says:

    Talking about the ethics complaint that is hot right now. AKM is explaining the report…

  250. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    giving synopsis of chatman’s complaint

  251. Trini says:

    He talks about the latest news and tough to make sense of the report.

  252. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Citizen media made the difference in Alaska. Mentioned Bloggers on the Bus,specifically Saradise Lost chapter.

  253. DrChill says:

    I guess she’s really out…

  254. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    …and now we try to sell another car…

  255. Ennealogic says:

    Brad is giving a shout out to all the AK bloggers, called the Mudflats a stupendous blog, mentioning Bloggers on the Bus.

  256. Sourdough Mullet says:

    Don’t forget to tell listeners – Voted BEST Political Blog of 2008! And SO deserving!

  257. Trini says:

    He says her work is stupendous and the media needed some help from them.

  258. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    says akm and bloggers saved the day. so true.

  259. lexky says:

    lori in los angeles
    justafarmer couldnt get the feed.im her ky counterpoint
    i will take care of the bodily functioning noises 🙂

  260. curiouser says:

    On a higher plane….1st time I’ve heard AKM. I do hear a smile. she sounds just like a favorite cousine….same inflection and sentence structure. Is she from PA?

  261. 264 Crayons says:

    hee hee hee i just got it…sarah, oh sarah!

  262. Aussie Blue Sky says:

    JHop Says:
    July 23rd, 2009 at 7:15 PM
    they need to sue her to force her under oath before a neutral body….someone who can hold her accountable. not her loyal and trusty little personnel board.
    ———————————————
    She has nothing against perjury, in fact she’s very pro-perjury.

  263. mhrt says:

    At the very beginning of his show say he did say AKM and that he did not know if she would have a name or not , so she must have said ok. At least that is what I am thinking.

  264. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    where is justafarmer? who will report if anyone farts?

  265. curiouser says:

    take care of your prostates

  266. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    AKM, like Brian, is more than just one moose (blogger). Rather AKM is the ideal of our blogwriter

    So AKM it will always be!

  267. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Whoever noticed? Those yeller boots are all the ID I need!

  268. Shadow's Heart says:

    MUYS – what a nice saying “she talks with a smile” and I agree that she does.

  269. Irishgirl says:

    Indeed Nan…and she deserves the recognition if she doesn’t mind it!

  270. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    JHop, it didn’t work in the troopergate thing… and then that went to the personnel board anyway

  271. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    I cannot help compare AKM’s voice and manner to RAM’s when she was RAM was shrieking on eddie burke show. wow, complete opposites.

  272. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Preach it, JHop!!

  273. wilbo says:

    Mercy, praise be, an articulate conversation without spin_al_taps. WOW, who would of thought Alaska wasn’t full of backwater grifters!

  274. Closet Mudpup says:

    AKM added her “street name” to her profile at HuffPost a while back. When I pointed out to her that it was there, she said she was testing the waters – it always takes her half an hour to get all the way into the pool. lol

  275. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Amen to AKM!! We knew her before she had any other name!!

  276. JHop says:

    they need to sue her to force her under oath before a neutral body….someone who can hold her accountable. not her loyal and trusty little personnel board.

  277. Professor Geezer says:

    To me, she’ll always be AKM as well.

  278. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    Martha–lilty and talking with a smile—-yeah, I’m sure she’s part Irish!

  279. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    any pups calling in to talk to AKM?

  280. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    great minds think alike, Irishgirl!

  281. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    It’ll probably always be “AKM” to me. Just feels right somehow

  282. Irishgirl says:

    Look..she will always be AKM to us.

  283. pvazwindy says:

    I’d kick in a few bucks for a lawyer

  284. Ennealogic says:

    Brad Friedman wrote the article that showed up on HuffPo (and his own blog) today that said Kim may well have cause to sue for libel and defamation because she’s been declared guilty of leaking the Daniel report.

  285. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    potty break!

  286. MonaLisa IS MY NAME! says:

    They do need suing….

  287. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    I’ll bow out from typing – plenty of mudpups to live blog!

    Love AKM’s voice! Lilty, humorous, she talks with a smile.

  288. Irishgirl says:

    OMG…I will regret staying up so late. And I can’t even hear it. So keep on live blogging!

  289. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    it’s a temptation lori – but I’d probably get tongue tied.

  290. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    I think he may mean Kim Chattman re suing Palin and her attorney. Kim should.

  291. Wasilla Warrior says:

    I don’t like him repeating her name it doesn’t feel right, AKM sounds so good, very articulate…fearless leader that she is !

  292. Cathy from Colorado says:

    Too many comercials

  293. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    teaser”it’s time to sue Sarah Palin and her attorney”

  294. Ennealogic says:

    Oh good! They’re gonna talk about suing Palin and Van Flea.

  295. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    Brad = he found out it was time to sue SP and her attorney. ????

  296. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    877-520-1150 if anyone wants to call in – talk to AKM!

  297. ds55 says:

    Ooo, he says “time to sue Sarah Palin and her attorney”.

  298. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    “time to sue sp & atty” – ??? be back in a minute…

  299. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

  300. Irishgirl says:

  310. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    after everyone said Sarah WHO akm kept the anon.

  311. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    AKM = There was a day when the lower 48 didn’t know who SP was. Became strange to put your name on things that were critical of gov. Nothing nefarious, she chose to do it.

    Brad = when did Doogan out?

    AKM = March

  312. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    AKM cites Federalist Papers for anonymity, but Brad is glad she is “out” because she is more credible. AKM started blog as a lark, never imagined herself where she is now. Sarah Palin made her hits go through the roof.

  313. pvazwindy says:

    God bless your friend, AKM.

  314. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    “started the flats as a lark”… awesome “lark” if ya ask me.

  315. austintx says:

    A lark to start the ‘flats

  316. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    AKM outed herself – it’s OK! Move on and enjoy her!

  317. JHop says:

    if there must be a silver lining, im glad she was outed in a way. she deserves credit for her amazing work.

  318. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    she says she was anonymous because she thought, at first, that NO ONE would read her blog except herself anyway. first day she had 8 readers and was surprised.

  319. Irishgirl says:

    Keep on blogging!!!

  320. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    Brad’s glad she’s “out” – he takes a non anony blogger more seriously. Brad thinks Doogan was reprehensible.

    AKM started blog as lark, for herself, for fun!

  321. GA Peach a/k/a Lance the Boil aka Crust Scramble says:

    You are so good, AKM.

    ………..protects from the tyranny of majority…….

  322. Suchanut says:

    AKM sounds great! She is so smart!

  323. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    Brad says he is glad AKM is out. Not so sure AKM is glad, lol.

  324. Cathy from Colorado says:

    Talking about her outing by Dugan.

  325. lexky says:

    she is good

  326. austintx says:

    well , i’m glad the whole world knows what we have known forever

  327. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    and of course, the person who outed AKM to Doogan… is still anonymous. humpf

  328. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    AKM = reliving the Doogan story and his nasty emails. Quit spamming me, go away, she called him out! He didn’t like it, made it a mission to find out who she was, and emailed her with his “out” threat. Followed it up using state resources to send out “outing” newsletter.

    She has not spoken to him since – he thinks he did the right thing.

  329. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    “have you and Doogan kissed and made up?” AKM: NO

  330. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    outing by Mike Duggan used state e-mail, etc.

  331. curiouser says:

    I’m sticking with AKM….not ready for the name.

  332. Cathy from Colorado says:

    I am listening to her right now.

  333. the problem child says:

    Yup, Georgia. Hope all who want in are in… I’m still hearing commercials, but understand that I’m about 2 mins behind the “live” feed.

  334. Polly says:

    Brad: Joined by a fellow traveler, from the 49th state known as AKMuckracker. Joins us to talk about Sarah Palin, Hey Jean, welcome to the Michael Malloy Show. Uses her name – JD. And talks about her “outing”

  335. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    She sounds so confident and secure telling the story leading to her outing…

  336. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    NOW!!…here we go… fellow traveler from 49th state. Outs AKM completely. Played Jeanne,Jeanie. AKM says she is out now and tells about Mike Doogin and how he outed her.

  337. Ennealogic says:

    They’re talking about the outing… and the Democrat legislator who did it. AKM is telling the tale.

  338. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    AKM = I’m an equal opportunity blogger – calls dems out, too!

  339. austintx says:

    she is agreeable to outing

  340. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    talks about the fact that she was “outed” – she says she was outed by one of her own State Legislators, a Democrat no less.

  341. Team Alaska says:

    Back at you Cassie Jeep Pike Palin, Were are you?

  342. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    AKM = interesting story, outed by one of her own state legs, a dem!

  343. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    Honored AKM with song “Jean, Jean”…

    outed by legislator, etc.

  344. curiouser says:

    I hope she was ready for her name…or has wine!

    Oh, she’s on and sounds great….and calm

  345. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    AKM confirms she’s OUT!

  346. austintx says:

    oh brother……david bowie jean jeanie

  347. redwoodmuse says:

    outed? with her permission?

  348. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    oh wow, let’s just get OUT there, eh?

  349. Dr. Patois says:

    Why is he outing her????

  350. 264 Crayons says:

    troublemaker!!!

  351. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    AKM is a fellow traveller AKM Muckraker also known as (hername)…

  352. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    Friendly citizen muckracker, troublemaker, known as AKM, aka full name (JD)!

  353. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    hahaha, playing a song about “Jean, Jeannie” – Now says hers first AND last name.

  354. GA Peach a/k/a Lance the Boil aka Crust Scramble says:

    hellooooooooooooooooooooooooo. so, chat here?

  355. Ennealogic says:

    She’s on!

  356. redwoodmuse says:

    sent honey to kitchen for ice cream. now I’m ready.

    “Sig-Alerts” are unique to Southern California. They came about in the 1940s when the L.A.P.D. got in the habit of alerting a local radio reporter, Loyd Sigmon, of bad car wrecks on city streets. These notifications became known as “Sig-Alerts.” Later Mr. Sigmon developed an electronic device that authorities could use to alert the media of disasters. Caltrans latched on to the term “Sig-Alert” and it has come to be known as any traffic incident that will tie up two or more lanes of a freeway for two or more hours.
    ++++++++++++++

    I used to live in LA and “Sig-Alerts” were a daily thing. I have the dubious distinction of having caused one in 1993. My car engine caught on fire in the middle lane of the convergence lanes of the 405 and I-5 and the 118. I called 911 and they had the fire department and a tow truck on the scene within 5 minutes. Unfortunately, it caused a HUGE back up and thus a “sig alert”. It wasn’t my fault, but just the same, I feel some shame.

  359. honestyinGov says:

    For the people who can not connect… I think I went from the link I bradblog.
    I use Firefox and this link has a perfect stream with the buffering. I have not been kicked off even once… unlike the link to KBYR… which was about every 15 minutes.

  360. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    heeeeeeere we go!

  361. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

    JHop,
    to this day, I have to get to the forum by way of the link at the top of the ‘flats pages

  362. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    I was totally wrong about about Alaska commercials – must be on the same drugs the Palin Grifters are on. KTALK is not Alaskan and I’m hearing all of these California commercials.

  363. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    I thought that might be AKM yawning!!! LOL

  364. Wasilla Warrior says:

    Go AKM …I am so excited !!!

  365. Irishgirl says:

    K..can’t catch the live feed….so blog on!

  366. Duke says:

    First the substitute host can’t get the lawyer to stop talking about voting machines then he reveals AKM’s real name.

    Not a bright bulb by any measure.

  367. redwoodmuse says:

    Woohoo, AKM is next. finally.

    rwm

  368. austintx says:

    brad knows about voting machines….when you have some time go to his site and look around…….you will have to go into archives……you will flip….he is on the case

  369. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    Hi pvazwindy!

  380. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

  381. Nan (aka roswellborn) says:

  382. Ennealogic says:

  383. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

  391. GA Peach a/k/a Lance the Boil aka Crust Scramble says:

  392. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    Voting problems all over need to be fixed – lots of voting issues that need to be fixed! Gotta fight now!

    Taking break, then AKM!

  393. Ennealogic says:

    Break but then AKM is comin up!!

  394. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Shannyn’s numbers are up but keep them cards and letters coming. You think the Palinbots will quit? NOT!!

  395. JHop says:

    problem child thanks so much for that link!

    anything audio/video that has a pop-up screen like the radio link crashes all of my firefox windows. this is the first thing in weeks that has worked.

  404. Irishgirl says:

    I don’t think the link is available to me!

  405. austintx says:

  410. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    I live in the middle of sig alerts every day of my life, sigh

  411. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    The guy talking has important info about “secret software” and voting machine legislation. I should be listening to this, but can’t concentrate.

  412. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    PC–my WOT (or whatever) gave me an OK on the Bradblog—

  413. lexky says:

    whats up justafarmer

  414. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    pit in stomach listening to them talk about all the election fraud re voting machines.

  444. Ebit5000 says:

    If Sarah Palin hate the spot light put on her kids then why is Piper Palin on the Eddie Burke Show? http://www.conservatives4palin.com/2009/07/chuck-heath-and-piper-palin-on-eddie.html

  445. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    Dr. Patois—I only got a hint of the AKM voice once when Shannyn hosted…so I’m anxious, too!

  446. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    I heard her when she was on with Shannyn. She is excellent!

  447. austintx says:

    you have to be born in La. to be a true coon-ass

  448. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    The Alaska feed from K TALK is about a minute ahead of the Brad blog stream – I had them both open at the same time.

  449. justafarmer says:

    not working for me tonight, good thing lexky is representing Kentucky!

  450. Dr. Patois says:

    I have never heard AKM before, I can’t wait! She is going to be great!

    (OKAY, typing is not my thing!)

  456. lexky says:

    got it
    Kentucky representing

  457. austintx says:

    crawfish…yum !!

  458. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    LEXKI–

    Click on th KTLK hot ling at Brad blog–upper left side…of story.

  459. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Okay, top of the hour break. Will be back with current guest to finish voting problems segment then….AKM!!

  460. seattlefan says:

    To the problem child: Woo Hoo! Glad you got the stream.

  461. the problem child says:

    @Fern, am in Canada

  462. Ennealogic says:

    Probably has to do with what plug-ins you have installed for a particular browser. I’m on a Mac using Firefox and it’s working fine.

  463. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    1-800-989-1480 is the call in number for the show

  464. the problem child says:

    Okay, I am listening now. Had to sign up for the bradblog livestream.
    http://server2.whiterosesociety.org:8000/truthseeker.m3u
    Now hearing commercials

  465. curiouser says:

    seattlefan – glad you’re connected. I’ve never tried Safari.

  466. seattlefan says:

    curiouser: Thanks. I am listening via Safari. For some reason Firefox kept kicking me out. I’m good now.

  467. Fern says:

    Pout. Can’t get the live feed in Canada.

  468. curiouser says:

    problem child, seattlefan – I’m using Firefox on mac and working fine. I used the link from the Brad Blog.

  469. lexky says:

    how do you get it through the brad blog?

  470. SystemBucker says:

    Listening in Ohio! Good luck AKM! You’ll do great!

  471. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    I like our system here in Arizona.
    We can opt to be put on a permanent early ballot list and get our ballots weeks before the election. Gives me time to sort through the candidates and issues and still mail in the ballot in ample time to be counted. No lines, or hassles.

  472. curiouser says:

    Good luck, AKM! Just do what you do.

  473. seattlefan says:

    @ the problem child: Firefox didn’t work for me either. I am using my default Safari right now with no problems and using Firefox in another window to access Mudflats. Can you try IE or another browser? Just a thought.

    In any case, you can rest assured this will be live blogged to the max! Do you have access to Sirius Radio? You could listen there. Sure hope you can hear it.

  474. SondraTompkins says:

    AKM-

    Just be yourself and you’ll be fine! 😉

  475. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    Wonderful LUCK coming to you from North Carolina, AKM!

  476. pacos_gal says:

    Don’t forget your boots if you’re gonna wade back into the muck!
    (you know I just hosed her off from the last time she did that, a couple hours ago)

  477. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Interesting recordings about voting problems in Presidential election. All over the country.

  478. trevinca says:

    Yikes! It’s Mike Malloy!!

  479. mhrt says:

    You will be greeat AKM. Get the thruth out and thanks.

  480. the problem child says:

    GOOD LUCK, AKM !!!

    Listening links here too.

  483. Ennealogic says:

    AKM, you’ll be fine — can you sneak in a suggestion that Kim Chatman could use a really good lawyer? 🙂

  484. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Thanks, AKM. You go, girl!! Mudpuppies are right behind you, waving!

  485. akmuckraker says:

    I’ll be on a little after 7:00 Alaska time, 8pm Pacific, 11 Eastern. It’s a nationally syndicated show on Sirius. Wish me luck…

  486. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Saying they are gonna talk about Sarah Palin. after commercial

  487. seattlefan says:

    Lori, I think this is broadcast on Sirius, which will reach many. I could be wrong…

    Go AKM!! Forget the Pepto! You’ll do fine and you have us listening and supporting.

  488. the problem child says:

    I am having abysmall luck with the live feed, and in fact the last time I tried to connect, it booted me out of firefox. Looking forward to liveblogging as a reasonable substitute…

  489. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    An Arizonan!! See we are progressive…well some of us!

  490. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Me also, too. AKM ROCKS!!

  491. Ennealogic says:

    The show has been on for an hour and a half already, hang tight. There’s lots of commercials (it’s AM radio after all) and callers calling in and Brad’s had Dennis Kucinich on already and former Gov. Siegelman who got railroaded by the Karl Rove machine.

  492. mhrt says:

    Lori i think it is local. It is not on mt local channel.

  493. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Los Angeles Progressive talk radio

  494. Ennealogic says:

    Thanks for the special thread for this, AKM, we were stuck at the bottom of the open thread. 🙂 ((( AKM )))

    sounds like it is going to be awhile.

  497. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    I like that….”Progressive..the new mainstream!”

  498. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    Can’t wait!

  499. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    Is this a National broadcast?

  500. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    I’ll imbibe an adult beverage to that!!

  501. mhrt says:

    commercial is on.

  502. lexky says:

    looking forward to it

  503. redwoodmuse says:

    @gramiam — sometimes the only thing that keeps me going is the secret thought of being a fly on the wall when karma kicks all these yahoos in the butt.

    redwoodmuse

  504. mhrt says:

    Another first for AKM and us the pups.!!!!Yaaa

  505. Gramiam AKA Smoke Strapon Palin says:

    Former Gov of Alabama. Railroad job by Karl Rove and company
    Skullduggery is alive and well in the Gop.

  506. redwoodmuse says:

    Hi all, I’ve got it on too. Don’t want to miss AKM.

    What a meltdown.

    redwoodmuse

  507. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    weird, I am getting LOCAL traffic report, not AK…..

  508. Alaska Pi says:

    Oh cool…
    Go AKM !

  509. Lori in Los Angeles says:

    I am listening. some Governor was just on, not the Scarah. commercial break now.

  510. Martha Unalaska Yard Sign says:

    I can’t wait! Go AKM!
