It’s Tuesday – DUCK!
Gazing at this fuzzy face will help you with all the incoming projects on your Tuesday. It’s true.
Sucker!
We’re betting you never expected to see one of these featured as an adorable baby animal. But we’re willing to believe you’ll keep an open mind. There’s no fur, it can’t curl up in your lap, or lick your face, but he is very clever, and at this size, we dare to say cute. [Why you should keep looking at these]
Sleepy Monday
It’s hard to believe that looking at a sleeping puppy will do anything but make you want to crawl back into bed… especially on a Monday. But fortunately, science is on your side. This little snoozer will actually help your day be more productive. Go figure.
The Silent Oil Coup
A silent coup has occurred in Alaska. “More foxes in the henhouse than chickens,” as someone said. The oil tax giveaway proposed by former Conoco Phillips lobbyist and Exxon attorney Sean Parnell has been referred to the TAPS Throughput Committee chaired by Conoco Phillips employee Sen. Peter Micciche, in front of Senate Resources co-chair Cathy Giessel, whose husband’s job relies on the oil industry, and later to the uber-powerful Senate Finance Committee co-chaired by Conoco Phillips employee Kevin Meyer. The grease already on the wheels of this faulty legislation could fill a pipeline. I know, you’re thinking surely the employee…
It’s Splitsville for Palin and Fox
No more fireside chats from big echo-ey rooms. No more standing by Lake Lu-sill shrieking over the wind while trying to keep the hair piece on. No more fake mountain backdrops hung in the studio/garage. It’s confirmed. Sarah Palin is no longer working for Fox News, sources close to the network’s now former spokeswig confirm. Palin, of course, says that she turned down their new contract offer. Fox merely “wished her the best with her future endeavors.” Now that she is being defined in the national conversation mostly in terms of her own irrelevance, we can assume the offer was considerably…
VITAMIN DEMOCRACY! Alaska’s Salmon Need You!
You may think Governor Sean Parnell plays lap dog to oil industry – and you’d be right. He does answer to more than one master. The Miami Mob, the cruise ship industry whistles and he comes running. SB29 and HB80 are the governor’s sweetheart deal to cruise ship industry. You may remember we Alaskans, through a ballot initiative, raised standards on cruise ship water dumping and implemented a head tax several years ago. The governor rolled that back saying visitors to our great state were going to cross a cruise to Alaska off their bucket list because of a $50…
Guess Who Came to the Office?
Sorry. Didn’t mean to alarm you. No, this is not a clever photoshop job. “You never know who will stop by the office,” was the status update accompanying this photo on Senator Mark Begich’s Facebook page. It seems that former Republican nominee for US Senate Joe Miller (right), and his wife Kathleen happened to be in DC, and stopped by the Senator’s office. It wasn’t to discuss a potential contest between the two for Senate in 2014, but something of a more personal nature. The Millers’ son Jacob was nominated to the US Military Academy at West Point. Mr. Miller…
Whack a What?
It’s time for your Friday morning babies. And just because you made it, you get an extra animated treat! Your week may actually have felt like this, except not quite this adorable. Remember, you watch adorable baby animals because it works.
Squishable Fuzziness!
Tomorrow’s Friday. Hang in there! This little fella may just keep you on track. Gaze, coo, and get busy!
Fox, Vice Chair of Henhouse, “No worries!”
State Senator Peter Micciche (R), an employee of ConocoPhillips*, says that while there will be billion dollar decisions made about oil and gas issues in the legislature this session, there is no conflict of interest with his seat on the Resources Committee, nor as vice chairman of the the special committee taking the first look at the governor’s oil-tax bill. You know, the one where the governor wants to give almost $2 billion a year to the oil companies, screwing smaller independent oil producers and favoring the “Big Three” – BP, Exxon and ConocoPhillips?* *Hmmm. In his own persuasive argument, the…
