Open Thread – Brian on the Town
The long holiday weekend is almost over, and it’s been nice taking a little break from the usual political grind. Even Brian likes to kick back once in a while and enjoy a little levity, and fellowship. He got invited to a fun shindig at the home of fellow blogger and progressive radio stalwart Shannyn Moore. Never one to turn down an invitation, he had a grand time mingling with the guests.
Here are some shots of Brian and his friends, starting with the hostess for the evening, fellow blogger and host of the Shannyn Moore Show on KBYR.

And yes, Brian even got to meet Thom Hartmann! Host of his own successful national political talk radio show, Thom and his lovely hard-working wife and producer Louise were in town for the weekend. Brian had great fun rubbing elbows with them and talking about the radio biz, all things Sarah Palin, the Alaska constitution, the Kennedy assassination, and global warming. I think Thom took a shine to Brian.

Brian even got to thank Senator Bill Weielechowski for toughing it out in Juneau this session, and for being at the front of the organizational effort for a ceremony last week to honor Alaska’s veterans who have fallen in combat.

Veteran Alaska broadcaster Steve Heimel and his wife Johanna Eurich were there too, and Steve allowed Brian to stand “in the thicket” as he called it, for a portrait.

Brian never met a progressive blogger he didn’t like, and Phil Munger is no exception. Phil, the featured Alaska blogger in the new book Bloggers on the Bus, and host of Progressive Alaska shared a moment with the famed ungulate.

But Brian’s most memorable moment came when he, Thom Hartmann and one of the original Alaska Constitutional delegates, Vic Fisher, chatted about the amazing document that is the Alaska constitution. Here they are, with Thom’s new copy signed by Vic himself.

And what better way to top off an evening of lively political discourse than with a nice shiraz and a few cream puffs?
Brian had such a great time at this little shindig, he’s planning on socializing in the future, and will feature photos of himself with his political friends on a new page on the blog. Just look for the tab that says “Brian’s Hall of Fame.”
Thanks to Shannyn and Kelly for bringing together such a great group of people.
Nan, right you are. Somber events require more somber attire. There’s a link to Shannyn Moore’s post on the new thread, which has a pic of the gov in mini skirt w/ strappy sandals at a memorial event recognizing the families of the fallen. Shannyn uses the word “cheap.” I’ll go for “tacky.”
Hey all you ‘trolls’ out there! Come on over to the light side! Doesn’t this crowd look like they know how to have a good time?!
I think I have less problem with the monkey shoes on the campaign trail than these nothing-but-strap sandal looking shoes at what is essentially a memorial service. On the campaign trail, a little “attitude” is expected and even looked for. But something more somber would have been (a lot) more appropriate for the Memorial Day ceremony.
Okay, this is catty, I know. Today I blasted the nuts4nitwits for picking on Diva’s appearance. So call me a hypocrite. But someone needs to educate haraS about professional footwear and make her go buy some. She had some cheesy floppy sandals in one early picture, then the Naughty Monkey shoes on the campaign trail, then the funky red ones she wore with her black suit in a posting here awhile back, then the red strappy sandals with her outfit for Memorial Day – all unprofessional and a distraction from any serious message she might be trying to deliver.
Wait – What was I thinking? – She needs all the distractions she can get, because she’s in real trouble if her supporters ever start paying attention to what she actually says.
If I “had” to listen to the Bob and Eddie show, I’d shoot my radio. Talk about torture.
Change you can believe in

Mud, I want you to know how impressed we were with Brian’s manners…he didn’t eat one thing in the garden! He drank a bit, but didn’t seem drunk. Thom was quite taken with him. We’ll have to do it again the next time a famous guy comes to town!

The weight thing is odd, because for a while there she was looking almost scrawny. Now all of a sudden, her face (and under the chin) are filling out, arms too – but her hands aren’t. Go figure.
wow! looks like a fun time!! LOVE the moose!!

Isn’t it just like (some) men to leave the little woman at home with the new twins while he goes out and parties! So there’s Brian, out on the town, partying hearty, and poor Brenda, still recovering from giving birth, home alone. I can hear it now: “No, no…it’s all right…you go on, Brian…don’t worry about little ol’ me…I’ll be fine…really I will…” Brian better plan on learning to love the couch, if this is how he plans to “help out with the babies.” I’m shocked, shocked and appalled. Also heart-scalded. I expected Brian to adhere to a better, finer, higher standard. I expected him to be a paragon of fatherhood. But I’ll deal…really I will…(turns back, crosses arms, and sniffs meaningfully)
Methinks she’s been hitting the Candies catalogue…good grief!

Seriously, those shoes she was wearing on Memorial Day? YIKES!

I think she is just missing the stylists she had during the campaign – but she has definitely put on some weight. She is starting to look mutton-dressed-as-lamb.
UK Lady and Say NO – That’s the one with S looking very cold and hard-faced, so here’s hoping.

Say NO to Palin in Politics
Was lurking this morning in PeePeeLand, they seem to think one of the books looks OK, and they are a bit worried about the other one, Berger I think, so that should be interesting.
Someone said the other day that Palin looks pregnant. Here is a picture from yesterday. Looks like she stopped dyeing her hair.

Is there going to be anything left for Sarah to say after all of these “behind the scenes”, “in depth” analysis-type books finding their way onto the shelves? Poor S will be really scratching to find something new. But then again since these books have already been written, maybe she could save time and indulge in a little cut and paste.

Sarah from Alaska: Inside the Political Arrival that Rocked American Politics: What Really Happened, What it Means, and What’s Next for Sarah Pa
“Two ’embedded reporters’ in Sarah Palin’s historic vice presidential campaign – Conroy from CBS, Walshe from FOX – tell the behind-the-scenes story of the campaign and investigate its ramifications inside the Republican Party and for both Palin’s and America’s political future. Sarah Palin’s two month run for the vice presidency was one of the most exciting, bizarre, outrageous and in many respects most secretive campaigns ever run. Regardless of how you feel about her, it’s almost impossible from a standpoint of wanting to understand the nature of American politics and sheer curiosity (or outright voyeurism), not to want to know what actually went on behind the scenes when Sarah wasn’t out there backslapping and rallying her fans-and what Republican insiders were and are thinking about her political future and the future of the party.”

I heard most of Obama’s announcement of Sonia Sotomayor this morning. As an attorney, I can’t adequately convey my pride and approval of Obama’s speech. He emphasized intellect and following legal precedent as of primary importance for any SCOTUS
And so many conundrums for the RepoTaliban.
They want the Hispanic vote, Do they go after her?
She was both a Clinton and Bush number one appointee. Do they go after a Bush legacy?
They want the women’s vote. Do they go after her.
Unfortunately she votes pretty much along Repocon lines so she may balance the court more to far right.
However, can the party of NO accept Yes as an answer and – go after her?
If the Dems don’t fight too hard for her and they win, Please God, Obama’s next appointment, should there be one, will be “politically correct” in ways that fit our great but RepoTalibaned Civil Rights accomplishments.
If the Dems don’t fight too hard for her and they lose, they will have saved some political energy for the next appoineed and then Please God, Obama’s next appointment, will be “politically correct” in ways that fit our great but RepoTalibaned Civil Rights accomplishments.
I hope for her, and the Country’s sake this is a bloodless appointment. If not, I hope she as good friends, cause the Party of Hate will try to turn her hearings into a shark frenzy (^*.

I heard most of Obama’s announcement of Sonia Sotomayor this morning. As an attorney, I can’t adequately convey my pride and approval of Obama’s speech. He emphasized intellect and following legal precedent as of primary importance for any SCOTUS appointee and went on in more detail. It was wonderful to hear a constitutional scholar talk about the court, his nominee and what he considered the criteria for a court appointee.
Quite a change from the past!!!

Are these conservatives that think Sotomayor is an “intellectual lightweight” picked solely on the basis of gender and race the same ones that thought Palin was qualified for the vice presidency and is somehow now qualified for the presidency????? BWAHAHAHAHA!

Thanks for the brilliant comparison!
@ #60 Tom – Thanks for the correction – “when” is right. LOL
#58 austintx – That’s a great link that raises some good points.
“As Matt Yglesias has also written, underscoring this point, “I recall a lot of issues being raised during the Samuel Alito confirmation fight, but at that time I don’t remember anyone raising questions about the intelligence of a Princeton/Yale Law graduate who’d done time on an Appeals Court.”

To ValleyIndependent: You mean “when” they handle this poorly, right?
@ austintx – Thanks for the link. Just a couple of thoughts:
I gather Palin didn’t believe this Republican talking point “our belief that judges should interpret rather than make law” when she appointed WAR.
If they think “Liberal ideology, not legal qualification, is likely to guide the president’s choice of judicial nominees,” I think our president has just proved them wrong.
I agree with previous comments that Rs stand to alienate many more Hispanic and women voters if they handle this poorly.
whoops.

NPR had some nice coverage on the SCOTUS appointment today. She sounds very well-grounded and smart. I haven’t done all my homework on her record, but since the R’s already decided to protest before they even knew who was chosen for the post, do you think they will do theirs first, or just protest on general obstructionist principle?
****************************************************
Here are the R’s talking points that slipped out.
http://briefingroom.thehill.com/2009/05/26/rnc-fumbles-sotomayor-talking-points/
CA needs to stop having the voters do the Legislature and the Governor’s jobs. Those initiatives are a big part of what has gotten us into this mess.
If the Rs reject her, barring something completely crazy in her legal background, the Rs can kiss Latinos good by. And women that aren’t psyhco. They must want to spend a lot of time out in the desert, wandering, if they just want to be obstructionists. I saw something on Google News when I googled SP: Cheney has taken SPs place as the Rogue Diva….

@ #39 Dr. Chill – I was noticing the people commenting on the Fairbanks News Miner articles hadn’t missed the irony of going to the federal trough for disaster money whilst continuing to posture that taking federal money is inherently bad. Are the strings that come with FEMA money about the same as the pretty much non-existent ones that come with the stimulus energy money?

It looks like it’s getting warm in Alaska. Does this mean the iceberg headed for SP is melting? Say it isn’t so.
I’ve written REAL letters to Keith Olberman and Rachel Maddow (back in January) and included many pictures of SP NOT pregnant. Never heard from them and didn’t expect to – just wanted to stir up some interest.
Surely Shannyn has discussed the SP scandal with them. Why no interest?
It looks like you have a good group of intelligent folks in Alaska. Surely you are not going to let SP out fox you.

Wow, Brian really stole the show. He’s pretty photogenic, but just needs to relax a bit more, and not look so “stiff”, like plastic. But, hey, for a moose, that’s pretty good. Must be taking points from your governor, back to work only 48 hours after the twins are born.
I would most CERTAINLY call this a Hall of Fame event – what a lineup at Shannyn’s party! I could just hug Shannyn, Phil and Bill W! The others I don’t know, but I’ll take your word that they are smart and huggable, also, too. Brian is a party animal for goofing off while we were trying to name his babies and Brenda has back pains!
I miss the Alaska old timers that I knew here in Juneau, they are mostly gone now. Take care of any old timer you know and appreciate them frequently! I still use some of the old timers’ names of places around town. Juneau has been so “fluffed up” for tourists that I feel as though I want to preserve the feeling it had before all that. One of my dearest friends was a territorial lawyer here when they drafted the constitution and he was part of it, too! It’s hard to believe that was all just 50 years ago.
Lol, think it worked.
Speaking of Sarah’s twitter account,
Yesterday when I checked Sarah’s twitter account for any new developments, I also checked the first couple of pages of who was following her to see if I noticed any notable names. That is when I first noticed a particular follower who goes by “PalinIsALiar” (http://twitter.com/PalinIsALiar).
Curious, I clicked on this followers account to see what I could learn. I am sorry I did. This PalinIsALiar is a real nut job. And since yesterday when I first noticed this nut job, whenever I checked Sarah’s twitter account today for any new updates, I have noticed PalinIsALiar on the first page of Sarah’s followers. I guess what this nut job does is remove herself as a follower, and then adds herself back as a follower so that she will be seen on the first page. Talk about crying out loud for attention. What a tortured soul this pitiful person must have to do something so childish.
Update, as I was typing this I just happened to check PalinIsALiar account and low and behold look at what this nut job just posted on her account.
“@lisabeth60 No 🙂 Where is the # sign? I am unfollowing then following Palin over again to be on the top of her list. Drives her PAC crazy.4 minutes ago from web in reply to lisabeth60 “

Hi Mudpups!
Reading everyone’s very creative suggestions to name the moose babies and the cereal got me thinking–what would a TV show about the Sarah and her family and friends be called? The Wasilla Hillbillies, of course, but what else? I’ll toss out a couple to get us going:
House (gate)

How long must we wait before Alaska’s intellectual heavyweight weighs in on Sotomayor. She must be chomping at the bit.

“The Federal Emergency Management Agency sent preliminary damage assessment teams into the area last week to get a firsthand look at the flooding damage. The teams are working their way down the rivers, village by village.”
Dunno what they’re doing beyond that, I guess we’ll see, eh?

Loved the pictures of Brenda and her moosepups. I’ve never seen really young meese. Thanks so much for the pictures.
For more wild babies, here is a link to the BC eagle cams,

The Hornby Island Nest wide angle cam is working (The close-up one is “fowled”) The Delta1 wide angle and close up are both working. Both birds are warming little grey eaglets at the moment, probably they’ll be more visible as the day warms up. I think it was at Hornby a couple of years ago that viewers scolded the nest land owner for allowing barking dogs nearby- which were really sea lions.

If you really want a moose to have a good time – and I assume Brian likes to have a good time – skip the shiraz and put out a nice bowl of beer. Seriously. Beer, not water, is the universal beverage. Make sure you stand clear. …
@pearl89:
Great idea! I’d love to have Brian visit Colorado. Wait–maybe it should be Brenda. After Brian has to mind the twins, he might swear off sex forever (snark).
Thanks for the pics, AKM- now I can visualize all my AK friends 🙂
That Munger guy looks very interesting. Love to talk to him.

austintx – LOL, can’t wait for the repugs to try and blast Sotomayor, that should lose them any Hispanic vote they ever could have hoped for.

Yup – Probably piss off a bunch of women voters while they are at it.also.too.
There use to be a website called On Stagnant Pond about pink flamigos. One of the features on the website was the travels of Fred and Pinky Lee. You could apply to the website to have Pinky and Fred visit your town. There were pictures of them in Europe at Octoberfest, attending baseball games in Chicago, tanning on the beach in FL…
Maybe, Brian and Brenda would like to do a little travelling, especially during the long, dark AK winter. You could send them to mudflatters around the world to have their pictures taken with their fans. The pictures could then be uploaded to I Heart Mudflats.

Baby stuff …..
A coalition of health, environmental and consumer groups is demanding that health products giant Johnson & Johnson remove tiny amounts of two chemicals suspected of causing cancer from its Johnson’s Baby Shampoo and other products.

Sonia. sorry.
News Flash – PO to announce Sonya for Supreme Court pick at 10:15 EST.
Well I sincerely hope that Brian wasn’t the designated driver, shiraz and non opposable thumbs can be a big mistake.
What fun! I’m so envious of you AKM; I’d love to spend some time with Thom Hartmann and the Alaska progressive bloggers. That would be an evening to remember forever. Mudflats needs to sell similar three-dimensional images of Brian, especially stuffies. Can you hook us up? Hope he returns to the family today none the worse for his night out.
Looks like Brian was escaping the new-borns! Men! Out partying while mama is watching the kids.
Fun shots!
Happy Birthday AKM!!!!! A tad late, but sincere, none the less.
Brian is such a party animal!
wondering if Brian is planning to run a stealth campaign for governor?
I assume these pictures were before the arrival of the twins , or Brian would’ve have handed out cigars. Thanks for sharing a lovely “meeting of the minds”!!
Wonderful pics AKM. It seems as if Brian had a lovely time. I hope he went easy on the shiraz!
Thanks for the fun and the sanity. Brian, you could have twittered about this! They have a picture feature too, ya know? I can only twitter from my computer. Not quite the same.
Hahaha! So cute and clever. It looks like a great time was had by all. Thanks for the fun read (o:
