The Miller fiasco is the top story at memeorandum, the first time Miller has dominated national headlines. Well over 130 articles nationwide, and it's only 6:20 a.m. in Alaska, just about 13 hours after the kidnapping took place, on a sleepy Sunday afternoon.

The Anchorage senatorial debate at the Snow Goose is this evening. Here's the latest:

Despite being invited multiple times since late August, Republican Joe Miller declined to line up against Murkowski and McAdams at the Dispatch debate. The Alaska Dispatch is nothing if not flexible, though, and if Miller shows up Monday night he'll be welcomed to grab a stool from the bar so he can sit up on stage and tell Alaska voters what he thinks.
