About twice a week, AD gets really lazy and lets some intern re-write a press release as news.

You missed the Dispatch’s joke of a story about ACS. According to the Dispatch story, you got the impression that ACS was going great guns in a difficult market. Today, Wall Street downgraded the ACS stock from “hold” to “sell”. What’s wrong with the Dispatch? Is it the reporters or the editors that”s responsible for the paper’s downfall. It’s horrible.

Great. So we have ALEC telling all our Republicans how they should be legislating, and now we will have “SiX” telling all our Democrats how they should be legislating. With uncertain financial times ahead and continually shrinking oil revenues, why don’t we cut out all the fat in the middle and just fire the legislature? We could save a lot of money if we weren’t paying for their salaries, per diems, office budgets, smoking lounges, travel reimbursements, “consulting” fees, and glass palaces.

In it’s place, we could just enact a streamlined approval process which would automatically add any crazy piece of crap legislation that either organization comes up with to state statute. Fair and balanced. Just think of all the money the lobbyists would save by not having to by not having to funnel their “speech” in ways that don’t look like bribery! The bars in Juneau might take a hit, but it would be for the greater good…

I mean really… how dare Alexandra do math in public? Everyone knows girls can’t do math, can’t drive, can’t…

Whew, for a second there I thought you meant Headly Lamarr… (three guesses as to my favorite movie of all time)

The fact that it’s considered to be so politically incorrect that it could never be made today speaks very poorly of our culture.

No one I know believes Senator Egan was invited to join the Senate Majority. Not so very long ago anyone could tune into the KINY radio station at which a local septic tank company had paid the $10 price for a “Problem Corner” ad so that we could all hear Senator Egain say, “You dump, we pump.” I believe that ad would cost $15 today, and it may have been at least a year since Senator Egan was the program host.

Recognizing Heddy Lamarr is a great and timely blurb. At the same time I think that revisiting the decision to allow women to drive could also be timely.

Criticizing Alex G for making projections is really pathetic. I’ve looked at her numbers and they seem plausible.
