I see the Gadsden Flag at a lot of Alaskan events. Since that was about the original colonies, "Don't Tread on Me" means something completely different here. I think Alaska needs its own version. Here's my take; maybe it's time to start The Salmon Party. Original art by The Troll…
Well, I'm surprised. Gov. Sean Parnell announced Friday that he will run for governor again. "Fantastic! I get to vote for Sean Parnell as governor again!" said no one within earshot of me ever. The anticipation of his announcement, and the speculation around it, was fierce. Would he give Mark…
Presidential historian and author Douglas Brinkley urged President Obama to take decisive and swift executive action on preventing the massive Pebble Mine project in Alaska on NOW with Alex Wagner, Monday.

Not being one that wants to disparage patriotic ‘murricans like this one, I’m gonna give him the benefit of the doubt.

The settlement , under current DNR policies, hasn’t allowed local folks much satisfaction as regards the process and outcome of the BBAP and so far the $s the Leg set aside to look at salmon issues v mining issues ? Does anyone know what’s up with that? after what? Three years??
So double Pfffttt! on the “patriot” who doesn’t seem to get the idea that Zach’s “flag” is spot on!!
The tea cakes can usurp the Gadsden flag itself but no one else can play with the underlying notions? Horsepunky!
The person who sent the email never read the book “Eats, Shoots and Leaves” by Lynne Truss. What a pity! I have “The Lynne Truss Treasury” and it’s very funny.
Don’t Tread On My Obamacare – pretty clever!

Kinda like wearing white robes with pointy hats.
Mark Twain to the rescue:
Patriot: the person who can holler the loudest without knowing what he is hollering about.
I’m self conscious about my grammar now. Mo, I do thoroughly love your comment.
As a former proofreader and editor, I approve this message.
Ditto. Also, too- from a retired English teacher, who ran out of red pens correcting Palin Word Salad
