Tuesday morning at my local supermarket, I saw a copy of “Going Rogue” already reduced 25%. I couldn’t resist such a bargain, went home with the 400-page book, decided to do what's best for Alaska, read the first 250 pages and then quit.

Ronald W. Reagan decided to solve our country’s problems by throwing taxpayers’ money at them and outspent all his predecessors combined.
George W. Bush decided to solve our country’s problems by throwing taxpayers’ money at them and outspent all his predecessors combined.
The current occupant decided to solve our country’s problems by throwing taxpayers’ money at them and outspent all his predecessors combined. Shouldn’t we therefore refer to our president as Barack W. Obama?

When people ask me if Iran really threatens the United States, I say definitely in soccer, but their hockey team really sucks.

I miss Wayne Anthony Ross. I looked forward to a really good time with him as Attorney General, but he was gone before I could work up a good chuckle. Darn! I looked forward to engaging in a real dialogue with that affable fellow. Here are the top ten questions I wanted to ask:

10) How can you qualify for the Palin cabinet when you never went to high school with Sarah?
9) Hey, WAR, how about a war we can win—against say, Vatican City, whose dictator disregards women’s rights?
8) Should we re-open Abu Ghraib for radical dissidents like Dan Fagan, who calls our former governor an extreme liberal?
7) Will you require abortion as a game management tool to curb wolf overpopulation?
6) Will you declare abortion clinic bombers terrorists if they turn out to be Muslims?
5) Do gay Muslim fetuses have the same rights as straight Christian ones?
4) Will you charge Hugo Chavez with discrimination for not subsidizing the fuel bills of urban Alaska Hummer drivers?
3) In times of marijuana scarcity, would you institute a Mat-Su preference or does the resource belong equally to all Alaskans?
2) Should pregnant 14-year-olds be allowed to buy assault rifles without parental consent?
1) Will you fight for the right to bear arms in Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq?
