Alaska's junior senator, Mark Begich, will be addressing the Heritage Foundation at 10:00 Alaska Time. The Foundation is a "New Right Think Tank."Soon-to-be-ex Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has had missile defense on her mind today. Also. Here are some of her morning tweets:
I'm signing HJR12 Ground-Based Midcourse Defense System reso;AK's system the only operational sys defending against long range ballistics...
this records concerns w/threat of NKorea attack & questions military cuts;we must be more than baffled by Fed's priorities; must take action
Sen. Begich's press office states:
Sen. Mark Begich will address the Heritage Foundation in a speech titled “Alaska’s Strategic Role in the Defense of the United States and the Vital Role of Missile Defense.”
The speech will be webcast on the Foundation’s website if you are interested in watching it.
Here is a link to the webcast.

Palin's typical unprofessional, nonsensical word salad. She can't construct a coherent thought or sentence to save her life, hence the appeal of tweeting. Looks like a text message my 13-year-old sends to her friends. Counting the hours left in this twit's 2/3 gubernatorial term...what an embarrassment. Also, too.
Mark Begich is making me very proud to be an Alaskan. He is very statesmanlike and professional, and represents Alaska's diverse interests well. What an amazing contrast to the Jr. High School-like and inappropriate Palin. Tick-tock...
Begich's Dad would be rolling in his grave on such a wasteful defense boondoggle. Begich is prostitute for BIG defense contractors not average workers in the miltary who don't get paid shit compared with Halliburton or Blackwater employees.
Begich is filling Ted Stevens role as chief prostitute for BIG Defense
Hell, Heritage Foundation is a DC whorehouse for the military industrial complex
Why on earth does anybody think North Korea would even consider trying to nuke Alaska, unless of course you think dear leader has a burning desire to see his country turned into greenish glass?
Every reputable scientist and defense analyst has pointed out that the system simply won't work as advertised. It is disappointing that your new Senator, whatever his many virtues, is backing this Raygun era boondoggle.
As a lifelong Alaskan who worked on both Mick's and Mark's campaigns, I have to agree with WonderPup. It *is* an incredible and useless boondoggle. At least Mark is in favor of deleting funding for more unneeded F-22s...
