The two guys at left are Alaska Democratic Party delegates to the DNC, Chuck Degnan and Rex Okakok.After the first day of the DNC, it is becoming obvious how much the blogging coverage by Writing Raven and Celtic Diva is adding to our understanding of how alaska issues are being dealt with there. Unfiltered through the corporate lens and corporate gatekeepers.
A case in point is Writing Raven's observation on how the Alaska delegates dealt with national Obama representative, Julie Anderson stated to a group that included the Alaska delegation, "I don't think Sen. Obama believes that is an appropriate place to be drilling at the moment."
Writing Raven covered the nuances of what happened next as well as any of Alaska's MSM reporters could have. And I'm already getting to appreciate her non-Anglocentric viewpoints.

Man, I hate rascism....I seriously doubt if Writing Raven were a white male he'd be getting any accolades for these pedestrian, obvious 'reports'. Time to stop being a cheerleader for mediocrity because of someone's sex and/or race, Phil.
