This is the place to talk about Alaska politics -- state, local, national. Public life in the Last Frontier may never have been more interesting than right now -- the broad and still-evolving corruption investigation, a big election, a popular governor, powerful members of Congress under scrutiny, and the usual hardball Alaska politics. Come here for news, tidbits and information, and join the discussion. Keep your comments civil and on point. Avoid personal attacks. Do not use profanity. Posts that violate the Terms of Use will be deleted. Repeat offenders will be banned.

Where did Ted Stevens go to school at?
A Republican? Is that 8th grade, that U.S. History lesson, really that confusing?
It really just goes to show, how long it takes for it to repete itself. Not very long at all, just one long lifetime.
Ted, he should have studied up on some former Senators, and that Treason in the Senate, back 1906.
Your "Uncle Teddy" knew how to run things Ted, and he was also very happy back in 1908.
And why did Teddy invent the FBI? DUH!
As published across The Nation by William Randolph Hearst, September 17, 1908, publishing the letters between Senator Foraker and Standard Oil's John D. Archbold, going back over a period of years, and that black and white proof of a senatorial purchase. Sums as large as Fifty Grand, (1905 dollars) were itimized as fees and payments for vague legal services (Ted?Ben?DUH!) with understandings, in those "secret backroom deals"
Of course Senator Foraker also couldent explain that remodel, of his Washington home, paid for by Standard Oil, $150,000.00 in Corporate Contributions, and typified the purchase of a U.S. Senator to do the will of Standard Oil.
Does Standard Oil, ring anyones bell"
Or is Exxon Mobil, to confusing for the uneducated of Alaska, and Texas.
"How the President does enjoy a fight when there is need of one." James Garfield wrote in his diary.
Teddy loved those ghost stories too;
"I want ghosts who do things. I don't care for the Henry James kind of ghosts. I want real sepulchral ghosts, the kind that knock you over and eat fire...none of your weak and shallow appointments."
Like that U.S. District Court Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, who fined Standard Oil Co. of Indiana 29 million dollars? in the anti-rebate case. And John Rockefellor Sr. who said the Judge would be dead before he ever saw a dime of the fine."
Repete;
Standard Oil, todays Exxon Mobil also missing their history lesson, with all their jewish lawyers, in the United States District Court, Judge Holland, and Rockefellors 1907 version, in 1996 at the Alaska District Court???
Of course these drunk driving cases could only confuse a dixie democrat, like Ted Stevens. and Exxon's Attorneys.
Could it be that "square deal" or Teds "new deal" thats confusing the R's and D's.
Should have an update on those "Standard" Operating Procedures? Just put that tiger, in you tank, like F. D. Roosevelt said when the real Uncle Teddy died, "The Old Lion is dead."
And Winthrop asking Teddy about about his upcoming hunt;
"You can kill the lion, by shooting him in any part of the body, but his alertness and agility make him the most dangerous animal."
IT IS A PERFECT WORLD! UNLESS YOU MISSED YOUR HISTORY LESSON senator stevens?
I guess that fictional "Incredable Hulk" is perfect, "little more than a fiction, intended to beautify what is disagreeable to the sufferers."
