Others around the state don't really care about our energy crisis?

What a shocker! I have to admit, I really don't care about what goes on up north either...Especially at Ethans house...But I digress, really, who here ever gives much thought to what goes on in Anchorage, Fairbanks, or bush Alaska? Me neither, so why should they?

Then there is this...

Here is your AEL&P president, in all his glory. He has a chance to show he is for the community, but has decided that he is all that and us little people should get a life.

AEL&P President Tim McLeod said he couldn't find a way to give "parallel rates" to customers that allowed some to pay over time while others paid in full each month. AEL&P is not in the position to extend loans to its customers, McLeod said. He encouraged customers having trouble paying their bill next month to borrow money from the bank

This is why people are fed up.


We even made the national news: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24373676/

Kind of funny...I think they make it sound a bit worse than it is...A run on lamp oil for God's sake...You should check out the picture of a bunch of yuppie looking Juneauites convening to share a meal and energy in hard times...LOL!

It's Here: The Norwergian Star has landed!

I had to drive through a few dozen early morning tourists...A little bumpy but I managed without spilling my morning brew...crown and coffee my preferred early morning pick me up...Most of the ones I spared didn't seem too thrilled about the weather...LOL!

By the way...Does anyone have any rice to spare?

Seems like we're being bought out here in town...Gee, I wonder what group is buying it all? I hear the price has doubled...American growers are stating there is no rice shortage in the US, regardless of the world stocks...

“Little man that’s lying.”

Rep. Don Young and Sean Parnell, who is one of the Republicans challenging Young for his U.S. House seat, are trading shots over their differing recollections of a conversation last year, according to a Fairbanks Daily News-Miner story today. Parnell, in comments to the paper’s editorial board, apparently saw Young’s remarks during a conversation over the split between congressional delegation and the governor’s office as threats to his political career and to Gov. Sarah Palin’s. Young, however, saw his part of the talk as “friendly advice.”

Young called Parnell a “little man that’s lying,” according to the story. The story goes on to look at other aspects of Young’s re-election effort and his relationship with the governor’s office, which is not good. “I work with the Legislature real well, but how can I work with someone who is supporting my opponent?” Young said of Palin’s endorsement of Parnell.

This is gonna be good...I don't really like Young, can't stand Berky, and if Sarah will endorse Sean "P. Diddy" Parnell then I may just have to root for him...Depends on where he stands on the capital move issue though!

No new news on Ethan B.'s alternative lifestyle in any paper today?

I did find this cute little photo-op though...
