Recently disseminated via e-mail to all State of Alaska employees, an “Invitation to Governor’s Picnics”:
Dear State Employee:
You are cordially invited to attend the 2009 Governor’s Annual Picnics. The picnics will feature free food, live entertainment, games and activities for children and much more.
Come and join Governor Sarah Palin, Lieutenant Governor [...]

Our intrepid governor, Sarah Palin, has once again said, “Talk to the hand,” in response to the another name floated to fill Elton’s senate seat, Dennis Egan.

We’ll keep this our little secret and not tell Delta, American Airlines, or any of those other airlines in the struggling industry.
Because if we told them that we pay up to three times “normal Lower 48 ” rates just to travel from Juneau to Seattle, they might be interested in this little Southeast gold mine. [...]

3) Vic Kohring, corrupt politician.
4) The Wasilla Assembly of God, “I’m not going to tell you who to vote for. But [...]

It’s been a couple of years since the old Juneau Vampire went offline, but now we’re back and more focused than ever.
What an exciting time to be living in the capital of Alaska – scandal, mud-slinging, “he said, she said,” and downright meanness, all covered locally the day after the rest of the nation hears [...]
