Some of us have been trying to get Marcy Wheeler to Alaska for some time. She is the expert on misuses of power by the Bush administration. Maybe somebody's trying to get Pat Buchanan here too, but it probably isn't Levi Johnston.
It is fascinating that Wheeler is expected to apologize for saying "blowjob," and that Buchanan isn't called to account for endorsing murder.
"I'm SURE Marcy apologizes for that choice of words...."
"That was priceless, Pat."

Saradise Lost - Book 3 - Chapter 18 - How Much Does Palin's Third-Trimester Abortion Cost Alaska?
Shannyn Moore has posted an essay at Huffington Post which raises some interesting questions about the costs of soon-to-be-ex Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's abrupt termination of her own employment as this state's chief executive.Moore's article mentions statements by Alaska Senator Bill Wielechowski, made on Moore's Saturday evening KBYR-AM call-in program:
When Senator Bill Wielechowski came on my radio program this week, he dropped a bomb I wasn't ready for; in order for Alaska to avoid a constitutional crisis, "The real solution...is for the governor to say...'I will withhold my resignation until the legislature can meet.'"
Moore's essay goes on to try to unravel just what sort of a constitutional crisis Palin may well have left for Alaskans:
For some reason, nothing seems simple in Alaska. It would seem with the governor's resignation, the Lieutenant Governor, Sean Parnell, could simply take his seat. The appointed third-in-line would then slip into Sean's chair and we could get back to business.
Sorry. According to both parties, Alaska sits on the edge of a constitutional crisis because of the "chain of command vacuum" created by the governor's abrupt resignation.
The perfect storm of events lined up on February 6, 2009. Senate Resolution 5 passed 16 - 1. It found Todd Palin and the governor's aides guilty of contempt of the State of Alaska Senate. Their refusal to co-operate with subpoenas during the Branchflower Investigation came with no penalties; just the finding. Four days later, Attorney General Talis Colberg resigned. Colberg purportedly advised those found in contempt to ignore their subpoenas.
In February 2007, Palin appointed her AG, Talis Colberg, to serve as successor to the Lieutenant Governor. The legislative body confirmed him. His resignation called for not only a new AG, but a new successor as well.
On April 16th, the nomination of Wayne Anthony Ross for AG was defeated after a long, controversial hearing. Commissioner of Corrections, Joe Schmidt was confirmed as "third in line" in the event the governor or lieutenant governor were unable to fulfill their duties.
Hey, great, constitutional obligations met! Not so fast...
When the governor resigned, Joe Schmidt, who had lobbied for the job and sent thank you notes to those who voted for him, decided "Thanks, but no thanks." Schmidt, a high school friend of Palin's, was a controversial nomination after a 514-19 vote of "no confidence" by the Alaska Correctional Officers Association in 2008. Their lack of confidence had to do with cover up of a contagious bacterial infection, MRSA, among prisoners and guards. In May, the ACOA filed a lawsuit against Sarah Palin's administration for purposefully dragging its feet in getting the legislature to appropriate pay increases, thereby sabotaging new contract arbitration.
It's hard to know why Mr. Schmidt declined his previously sought duty, but a replacement was named by the governor quickly; Alaska National Guard Lieutenant General Craig Campbell.
Last August, just days after Sarah Palin's VP nomination, then Major General Campbell told the AP the governor had no control over the Alaska Air National Guard. He continued breaking down the meme of her experience in an interview with the Boston Globe. Two days later, on Friday, September 8th, Campbell flip-flopped on Fox news. He sang the governor's praises. The following Monday, Palin promoted him to Lieutenant General in the Alaska National Guard-a rank only recognized in Alaska. Now she has promoted him for his loyalty again; this time to Lieutenant Governor.
Here is where the constitutional crisis has a head on.
With Palin's resignation, Joe Schmidt declining the Lt. Gov job, and Mr. Campbell not being confirmed by the legislative body...we are left with one leader, Sean Parnell, and no spares. According to the Constitution we have to have a spare. The only way to get a spare is to have a special session and confirm Mr. Campbell. Palin's newest attorney general appointee, Dan Sullivan, formerly of the Bush Administration, supports the unconfirmed succession of Mr. Campbell. Mr. Sullivan has yet to be approved by the legislature.
Moore goes further to attempt to add up some of the expenses to Alaskans this crisis may cost:
Let's do the math:
Branchflower Report: $75,000 (Legislative investigation that found Sarah Palin guilty of abuse of power.)
Palin's own ethics complaint: $187,245.58 (A political tactic filed in an attempt to de-rail the Branchflower Report.)
Special Session (Low estimate):$150,000
PALIN'S cost to the State of Alaska? $402,245.58
"FRIVOLOUS ETHICS COMPLAINERS" cost to the State of Alaska? $101,101.84
Additionally, some of the commenters to the article add in other costs. here's commenter meede:
Please note that the Special Session (Low estimate):$150,000 estimation Ms. Moore sets out is for I believe a One Day Special Session.
A Special Session to be called, would no doubt take more than one day, therefore each day would cost approximately $150,000.
The matter of the $28.6 million veto of federal stimulus funds for energy assistance and weatherization would be addressed within the special session. If there was ever a state that needed this section of the stimulus, it's AK. I also wonder whether the confirmation of the AG pick of Palin's would be dealt with instead of waiting fo the Legislative Session next year as Sullivan has not been confirmed in that position either, but has vocalized his idea that the LG could be an Acting LG meaning no confirmation.
And here's commenter SharpDressedMan:
The total cost of Sarah Palin's quitting grows because the ramifications aren't completely fathomed. Here are more foreseen costs related to the "community organizer with responsibilities" who acquiesced her responsibilities.
- Some ethics charges are still unresolved, new ones expected. Her legal bailout fund is in legal limbo.
- Unscrupulous accountants and other staff members in her administration issued information with discrepancies, errors and omissions. The spreadsheet showing ethics charges expenses isn't the first time information was released with errors. From now on, who will believe information issued by Parnell's administration if he won't purge Sarah loyalists? The cost of distrust in state government is immeasurable. Thanks to Sarah.
- Changes in letter heads, stationary, web site headings, computer network operations, and all other documents containing the governor's name, address, etc.
- Changes of portraits, signs, logos (except Arctic Cat), etc.
- Personnel changes, confirmations, background checks, and moving expenses.
- Placing new personnel in the Governor's line of succession.
- The upcoming swearing-in or quasi-coronation in Fairbanks.
- Security for Parnell and Palin. Her controversial nature necessitates more security at the state's expense.
- Will the soon to be ex-governor charge for consulting services when the state requires her input? Do you expect her to work for free? Think time, expenses, per diem, etc.
The total cost of Sarah's abandonment won't be known for sometime.
Indeed, the true cost won't be known for "sometime [sic]."
But maybe we can apply some of the formulae previously used by the Palin administration to compute administrative costs. I'll call it the Combo-AP-Steiner-(David) Murrow Rule.
Here's how the Associated Press and Prof. Rick Steiner come in to the formula:
Citizens and journalists who sought public records have been socked with huge bills. At one point, the Palin administration presented the Associated Press with a bill of $45 million for copies of official state e-mails sent to Palin’s husband, to the McCain campaign, and to federal agencies.
That practice predated Palin’s ascension to the national stage.
In December 2007, when University of Alaska marine scientist Rick Steiner sought reports detailing state biologists’ assessments about then-impending Endangered Species Act protections for polar bears, he received a $468,784 bill from the state. After a few months of haggling, Dr. Steiner turned to the Bush administration. The US Fish and Wildlife Service, which had its own copies of state biologists’ reports, readily complied.
“They didn’t charge me a dime,” Steiner says.
And here's how Palin's communications director, David Murrow comes in. First of all, as he has defended, you can count any expense twice. And secondly, you can bill up to $12,000.00 per hour for unexplained expenses. And you can bill up to half a billion, without any explanation, for things, others don't charge you for.
Using the AP-Steiner-Murrow rule, let's take up SharpDressedMan's itemization:
- Changes in letter heads, stationary, web site headings, computer network operations, and all other documents containing the governor's name, address, etc. - $45 million
- Changes of portraits, signs, logos (except Arctic Cat), etc. - $45 million
- Personnel changes, confirmations, background checks, and moving expenses. - $350 million
- Placing new personnel in the Governor's line of succession. - $5 million
- The upcoming swearing-in or quasi-coronation in Fairbanks. - $2.5 million.
So, by using the AP-Steiner-Murrow formula, just these few items in the Palin transition, added together, cost us $447.5 million dollars. I can't wait for Channel 2 KTUU News' Jason Moore and Lori Tipton to do as thorough of a story on this as they did on the $1.9 million dollar spread sheets.

PA Arts Sunday - July 12th 2009 - Part Two - Song for Rep. Bob Lynn
The next regular meeting of the Anchorage Assembly will be on July 21st. They will once again take up the civil rights ordinance that has tied up that body since late Spring. Many of the superstitious, brainwashed Christofascists testifying against this highly sensible legislation claim that the next thing that Anchorage or Alaska voters will be asked to accept will be gay marriage, or open sex on the job or, or, or - sex with ANIMALS!
Rep. Bob Lynn is already trying to guarantee that our adequate animal cruelty laws are beefed up (or porked or lambed or chickened or whatevered up) to specifically address bestiality. He's been seen around these hearings. I didn't see him at the two hearings I attended, though.
Too bad. I always enjoy my discussions with Bob. He doesn't feel the same way about me, though. Five years ago he denounced my art in front of a joint session of the Alaska legislature. No other Alaska artist enjoys the distinction of being denounced like that.
Here's a song for Bob:

PA Lists Two New Alaska Progressive Blogs
Progressive Alaska is adding two Alaskan progressive blogs to the blogroll at the right side of the page:Alaskan Minority Report:
My blog title is taken from the movie Minority Report. The film is based on a short story written by Philip K Dick, a well known and revered science fiction author. The story revolves around how a witness's perception of a crime can be limited by their perspective. If the witness's perspective is flawed, justice and truth are no longer served. The majority of witnesses may share a flawed perspective while a single individual may be the only one that sees the event in its entirety. This is called the Minority Report. It is often overlooked or dismissed because the majority rules. I found this a fitting name for my blog. My aim is to provide the Minority Report.
OMFGAlaska: This blog's latest entry, You CAN'T Make This Shit Up..., from yesterday, looks at the possible ties between one of son-to-be-ex Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's recent judicial appointments, Gregory L. Heath, and the elusive Pastor Thomas Muthee.
Welcome to PA, folks!
Saradise Lost & Found - Chapter Five -- A Palin Third Party -- Beginning To Look That Way
One of soon-to-be-ex Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's foremost advocates is rightwing talk radio and internet personality, Tammy Bruce. On Friday, Bruce had this to say about Palin's upcoming prospects:Enter now Sarah Palin with very encouraging comments that lead one to believe that she is indeed planning to do what she must: build an independent conservative movement and take this nation back from the liberals which now control both parties.Thanks liberals, for provoking Sarah into the national scene while vetting that family at the same time.
One thing I will say, the Washington Times with their headline for this exclusive interview reveal an anti-Palin stance. She is, don’t doubt, a threat to every existing political status quo. I hope the Washington Times and their editors realize, sooner than later, that the Palin movement is unstoppable and their credibility would be saved simply by reporting the news instead of becoming a GOP version of the NYT.
Here's Bruce's entire rant from Friday:
SarahPAC is carrying Bruce's rant, including her bizarre description of the Washington Times article about Palin attempting to craft some sort of an "independent" image. The Moonie-owned Times is not only uber conservative, it has ties to many strands of the weird American religious sects that are so enraptured by Palin's aura.
Another very conservative newspaper, the Fairbanks News-Miner, has printed the most scathing obituary yet by an editorial staff, on Palin's abdication. I'm going to print the entire editorial, with my own emphases added:
FAIRBANKS — I had written a column that was just about ready for publication when Gov. Sarah Palin derailed it last week with news of her resignation. The column was about my frustrating and fruitless campaign of the past seven months to have the governor speak to the editorial board of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner.
I figured the column wasn’t needed any more. Sarah Palin will soon be out of office, 18 months ahead of schedule and of her own choosing, so why bother. And on Monday came the final word, after half a year’s worth of my hopeful cajoling, that Gov. Palin wouldn’t have anything to say to us. “That is correct — she will not be meeting with the board. I apologize for all of the back and forth,” came the e-mail from her spokeswoman.
And yet I have been reading these past several days that Sarah Palin is alive on Twitter and Facebook, maligning the media in her tweets and posts. She won’t meet with us, but she sure will bash us.
She did it again on Friday, posting on Twitter in advance of her appearance on KFAR radio in Fairbanks: “Candidly, I love radio vs some newspapers bc... ‘Most newspapermen by definition have to be liberal; if they’re not, by my definition, they can hardly be good newspapermen.’ W. Cronkite”
Of course, the governor has misinterpreted the quotation for her own use. Cronkite, in the 1973 interview with Playboy magazine, used the
word “liberal” as meaning open-minded.
PLAYBOY: Implicit in the (Nixon) administration’s attempts to force the networks to “balance” the news is a conviction that most newscasters are biased against conservatism. Is there some truth in the view that television newsmen tend to be left of center?
CRONKITE: Well, certainly liberal, and possibly left of center as well. I would have to accept that.
PLAYBOY: What’s the distinction between those two terms?
CRONKITE: I think the distinction is both clear and important. I think that being a liberal, in the true sense, is being nondoctrinaire, nondogmatic, noncommitted to a cause — but examining each case on its merits. Being left of center is another thing; it’s a political position. I think most newspapermen by definition have to be liberal; if they’re not liberal, by my definition of it, then they can hardly be good newspapermen. If they’re preordained dogmatists for a cause, then they can’t be very good journalists; that is, if they carry it into their journalism.
The governor seems to be offering the misinterpretation of the Cronkite quote as a reason for no longer granting open-ended interviews to us or most any other news outlet. Her Twitter post is another attempt to divert attention from the real reason she won’t talk, especially since it’s no secret that this newspaper’s editorial page is generally viewed as being more in line with Republican ideas and therefore can reasonably be assumed to be somewhat friendly terrain for a Republican governor.
The real reason Gov. Palin won’t talk is because we and others she won’t talk to actually ask questions that challenge her ideas. She can’t take criticism or anything close to it.
Having someone question her ideas doesn’t fit with her simple media plan: Try to get good news out without risking damage to her national image that could come by talking to reporters and editors about not-so-good news. And when negative news does come out, claim to be a victim of biased coverage by the “mainstream media.”
She cries foul but has done nothing to rectify whatever wrongdoing the media has done to her or that she perceives the media has done to her. What she has done is easily find time for flattering national photo shoots and to talk with non-threatening magazines or commentators on friendly conservative national or local radio and television shows.
Among Alaska media, The Alaska Journal of Commerce noted in a June 19 editorial that “A quick, albeit unscientific survey of the state’s larger media outlets suggests that in the past six months there have been few — if any — one-on-one interviews where more than a couple of targeted questions were answered. Meanwhile, there were at least four exclusive interviews with national broadcast media within a few days of the Exxon/TransCanada (gas pipeline) announcement.” The word from the Anchorage Daily News is that she hasn’t spoken to that newspaper’s editorial board “for a long time.” As for her resignation, she invited some national news networks to Dillingham, gave them 10 minutes each on the beach, and stuck to the same talking points in each of those interviews.
For nearly seven months I have tried, with various degrees of effort, to get the governor to speak with the editorial board of the Daily News-Miner. The last time she appeared in our office was in December for a session consumed largely by comments from people accompanying her. She displayed the same reluctance to talk in an earlier session, preferring instead to ask those around her to answer questions.
I desperately would like the governor to tell me I’m wrong on this, to rip me apart on this or on any other matter — like her two immediate predecessors, Republican Frank Murkowski and Democrat Tony Knowles, would do without blinking. They had no difficulty finding time to come here and sit for an honest, tough discussion of the issues confronting Alaska. And they, not their aides, would do the talking.
Not Gov. Palin.
I wish the governor would have tried to persuade our editorial board where she thinks we need persuading. I wish we could have had the opportunity to tell her we agree with her on Topic A and disagree with her on Topic B. I wish we could have had a civil, respectful discussion of the things that matter. We’ve had our differences, notably on her Alaska Gasline Inducement Act, her nomination of Wayne Ross as attorney general and her qualifications to serve as vice president and, if necessary, president. But we’ve also given her support when necessary — most recently in her valid criticism that the ethics complaints filed against her are a gross abuse of the state’s ethics law.
I also think Gov. Palin wouldn’t and won’t meet with us, or most any other media outlet that doesn’t express adulation over her, because she wants to preserve her “media victim” image as much as possible.
To regularly interact with editorial boards and to engage in substantive discussions with journalists and commentators who could challenge her ideas could undercut that self-made “victim” status. [Bingo!]
And if she really is a “media victim,” shouldn’t she be lambasting the editors and journalists directly, in face-to-face meetings or in on-the-record interviews? That’s what other politicians and state leaders regularly do.
As for me, if the governor had specific complaints with the Daily News-Miner, I didn’t hear about them.
It’s worth noting that she did find time to talk to several News-Miner editors about the issues, for two hours, back in 2006 while she was campaigning for governor.
That seems like a long time ago now.
We haven’t changed much since then, but she sure has.
Rod Boyce is managing editor of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner.
That's the post-mortem from Alaska's most conservative daily newspaper. This morning, on Meet the Press, Sen. John McCain stuttered through a segment, where he couldn't quite put a reasonable handle on what Palin might be up to:
It is hard for me to imagine the most polarizing person in American politics successfully campaigning for Blue Dogs. She might try that some, but unless she's going to back away from the ideals of her Teabagging, white racist, Christian fundamentalist, homophobic base, she won't be bringing in more votes to any Blue Dog than she would take away from the candidate.
The true reality, recognized by the News-Miner and the Washington Times, and Alaska's progressive bloggers, is that Palin cannot "progress" her agenda in an environment where she has to answer detailed questions, or deal with negative feedback. And not just in her inner circle of sycophants and idolizers; but in the realm of media and public relations. Hence the need for her own political movement.
On another note, here's the take on the third party possibilities by a new Palin commentator, Stranahan (thanks for the tip, Gryph!):
Saradise Lost & Found - Chapter Four -- Thanks, Sarah! - from Progressive Alaska
In the wake of Alaska's soon-to-be-ex Gov. Sarah Palin's decision to actually quit her job - as opposed to working it part-time, as has been the case since the summer of 2008 - I've seen a new upwelling of comments from both the left and right, dissing Alaskans in general.Ann Coulter has been the right's poster waif for this, calling either Juneau or Wasilla "Ulan Bator" (the capitol of Mongolia). Many sites on the left continue to describe the city I live in - Wasilla - as something less than it is.
Having blogged nationally since 2005 about the failings of Don Young and Ted Stevens; having touted notable progressive Alaskans such as Diane Benson and centrists such as Mark Begich nationally since 2006; I can say that Palin's pickup by McCain changed peoples' perception of us.
One can't but appreciate how much attention Sarah Palin has brought to Alaska and Alaskans. As inaccurate as that notice often is, we can use that heightened awareness in many realms untied to WTF she does next.
The person who realizes this best seems to be our junior U.S. Senator, Mark Begich. He's very new on the job, but the contrast between the way he is approaching his responsibilities and the continuing attentions toward Palin's polarizing and bizarre end-game will resonate with time.
The person who so far seems to realize this least is Palin's successor, Sean Parnell, who is going out of his way to parrot some of Palin's most untruthful recent positions. Maybe Parnell merely wants to keep from ruffling Her feathers, fearful She might change her mind.
Although I've had to reassess my fairly positive feelings about Palin's governance up to the early summer of 2008, I'm willing to admit that getting the AGIA process going, as flawed as it has come to seem, was a masterpiece of collaborative politics. That she had to throw any future chance of across-the-aisle legislation away as part of what she was willing to become as a national-level politician, is a small Alaska tragedy.
That sad transition is small, rather than large, because the seeds of becoming a right-wing demagogue were already there in Palin's personal and political makeup. The demands of being thrust into the role of being McCain's red meat for the 2008 far right crowds and fundraisers brought something out in her that was ready to grow. As someone who has known her now for almost 19 years, it was sometimes scary watching it finally happen.
We will now watch that far right seed mature.
Whatever, Alaska will never be the same.

PA Arts Sunday - July 12th 2009 - Saving the Ruby XIV
Ten years ago today, I flew down to Kodiak to help my longtime friend Peter Bevis prepare the World War II yard tug, Ruby XIV, to make her first long blue water voyage since the 1970s. Peter told me it would take "three or four days." It took almost two weeks. Every minute of prep and rebuild time paid off.The two of us were the sole crew members on the 65-foot tug, as we headed out of Kodiak Harbor to Seattle.
We arrived inside Lake Union in Seattle about eight days after leaving Kodiak. Since then, the Ruby XIV has been restored to its best condition in decades.
My 2002-2003 work, Piano Concerto is based upon the tugboat trip. Here's my description of the first movement, Tug Ruby XIV:
This movement attempts to evoke the spirit of the old tug as she realizes, once underway in early August, 1999, that she is free.
Free of the cluttered slip next to her overshadowing companion, Kodiak King, free from being a harbor Cinderella, free to put many miles beneath her keel.
You hear her giant engine start, brought out of slumber from another, simpler age. You hear the crank, creak and hiss as she adjusts to constant motion. You hear the constant cycling of open valve lifters, springs and rocker arms, the squeaks as they are oiled and wiped.
Even though the journey takes on a sort of elegance, the strains on her are evident, especially in a rough seaway. You hear her slow for foggy mornings, creeping around points and between reefs. You hear her bask in the afternoon sunlight of glorious Southeast Alaska, and her reverence as she cruises through the largest salmon return to Southeast in a generation. She and we know that life and renewal are wonders.

Erick Cordero for Mat-Su School Board Fundraiser Sunday Evening
Erick Cordero is running for the Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District School Board. He was appointed to an open seat this past winter, and has already made an impact progressive and pragmatic parents and taxpayers see to be imaginative and focused. Last Summer and Fall, Cordero ran as a Democrat for the State Senate seat vacated by Lyda Green. Linda Menard, who had herself earlier been a long-time member of the Mat-Su School Board, easily beat Cordero. Cordero campaigned energetically, though, against a candidate universally viewed as a cinch to win by a landslide.
That's Erick. He's in it to serve our community, to work hard, and to challenge ideas and personalities who have become too tightly bound to failed concepts.
In several ways, Erick is representative of what the Mat-Su Valley is becoming. He's an immigrant, a new U.S. citizen.
I spoke with him early last year, the day he became a citizen (Ethan Berkowitz was his sponsor). He was so happy, so proud. Even before citizenship, Erick was already helping in his work and in his busy public service life, to help Alaskans, especially those who need it most.
There is a huge impact on Mat-Su schools from immigration. It varies from school to school. Not many outside of the Valley realize what a profound impact new immigrants from Russia and the Ukraine have had on the schools these new Americans' kids attend. Tanaina and other elementary schools, and both Wasilla Middle and High schools, have to hire specialists in these two languages. It is expensive. Erick, through his work as an advocate for the poor, and for immigrants, understands this impact on our schools.
Erick's community service in Palmer has been transformative for him and for the community. He's served as President of the Palmer Rotary Club. He has served on the Palmer Zoning and Planning Commission. He has volunteered in many other areas too.
Here's Erick's biography.
During the 2008 U.S. House campaign, Erick moderated and helped produce the Hispanic Affairs Council of Alaska Candidate Forum. I attended many such fora. The HACA forum was the most balanced and challenging of the many such debates and exchanges. His fairness and empathy toward Sean Parnell, as members of the audience began to object out loud and hiss at Parnell's answers and refusals to answer, showed how Erick cares about both sides of important issues.
Eric's key role in restoring responsibility to custodial services in our schools is showing that he is willing to hash out the complex details on labor issues in a lean financial environment for the district's administration, while creating meaningful jobs for our Mat-Su residents.
++++++
Erick Cordero's fundraiser is Sunday evening at Fireside Books in Palmer. It starts at 7:30 p.m. and lasts until 9:00.
Come Meet Erick!
