FieryBlazingHandbasket: August 2014

http://fieryblazinghandbasket.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, August 19, 2014. As if it needed to be said, "VOTE.". I don't expect this to sway anyone, as likely, anyone stumbling across this wee little bit of blogging is likely a flaming liberal as well. But remember folks:. Corporations are not people, no matter how many television ads are produced that attempt to anthropomorphize them and assign them human values or motivations. They do not exist to create jobs. They exist to make a profit for their shareholders. Links to this post. Perhaps Joe Miller i...

FieryBlazingHandbasket: "We get the government we deserve... in that case, we've been really bad."

http://fieryblazinghandbasket.blogspot.com/2006/04/we-get-government-we-deserve-in-that.html

Monday, April 24, 2006. We get the government we deserve. in that case, we've been really bad.". A good friend of mine, of the legal persuasion, was fond of repeating that aphorism after we had ingested many health drinks. Cranberry juice and vodkas) at our favorite watering hole in a certain boozy little Alaskan town in which I used to live. For the non-Alaskan audience, or the recently arrived newbie, a quick introduction of sorts to our Congressional delegation, Part I: The Ones We Send to Washington.

FieryBlazingHandbasket: Build it and they shall come....

http://fieryblazinghandbasket.blogspot.com/2013/07/build-it-and-they-shall-come.html

Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Build it and they shall come. Now it could be that I am totally missing the boat on this one, but it seems to me that on a campus with a graduation rate that is frankly in the toilet, and where there are a lot of non-traditional students, including many students from remote rural Alaska, career counseling might be a tad bit important.

FieryBlazingHandbasket: At Extreme Everything

http://fieryblazinghandbasket.blogspot.com/2013/06/at-extreme-everything.html

Tuesday, June 25, 2013. Here we are at the height of summer, and whoo boy, we are overachieving on all points this year here in Greater Redneckia. First it was a ridiculously cool, late spring. Next came the truly prodigious number of mosquitos. You can't find any mosquito dope for purchase. Oregon crews have been brought in, along with additional retardant tankers, just in case. Both Fred Meyer's are sold out of kiddie pools. But I'd highly recommend that folks make their property defensible. Observatio...

FieryBlazingHandbasket: January 2014

http://fieryblazinghandbasket.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Friday, January 24, 2014. It's 35 degrees here in the Goldstream Valley this morning. Rising temperatures yesterday brought fog to the College Road area. Yesterday, morning, freezing rain started to coat the world in a fine patina of ice. In the afternoon, Fairbanks Police were advising that certain roads were closed; the rumors had Ballaine Hill impassable and Ballaine itself marginally driveable. Links to this post.

FieryBlazingHandbasket: November 2012

http://fieryblazinghandbasket.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Wednesday, November 21, 2012. Say it Ain't So, Deirdre. Sad news for our recently gerrymandered, kooky, subversive, opinionated, libertarianish, liberal community here in the environs of Squarebanks: the Ester Republic. After its Vol. 14, No. 5, Issue 150. (Has it been published? Can't find out this am). As a nod to an epithet from a thwarted local politician, who referred to the community of Ester as the "People's Independent Republic of Ester", the paper won awards, featured news the Minus. Interesting...

FieryBlazingHandbasket: Sheriff Arpaio called, and he wants me to vote for Joe Miller

http://fieryblazinghandbasket.blogspot.com/2014/08/sheriff-arpaio-called-and-he-wants-me.html

Thursday, August 14, 2014. Sheriff Arpaio called, and he wants me to vote for Joe Miller. Famous for tent cities, abuses of power, and racial profiling down in AZ, was kind enough to provide an endorsement of Alaska candidate for U.S. Senate, Joe Miller. Here is what AZ Joe had to say about AK Joe in the message left on my answering machine:. Juxtaposed with a picture of Joe Miller smiling while holding a gun) and went off.

FieryBlazingHandbasket: Redistricted Back Into the 'Banks

http://fieryblazinghandbasket.blogspot.com/2013/07/redistricted-back-into-banks.html

Tuesday, July 16, 2013. Redistricted Back Into the 'Banks. Funny how a committee gets to move the boundaries on a map, just draw some lines really, and it can alter the political landscape. Yesterday, I woke up to the news. And that is just fine. Let's just say there is a "Goldstream State of Mind" and pause for a moment to imagine the truly awesome country song that we might write if we had the time and didn't have to get to work this morning.
