As Alaska Turns
By Weird day up here in The Crazy State.
(1) Sherry “Fuckin’ Redneck” Johnson — the maybe, sort-of someday mother-in-law of Bristol Palin — has apparently been smelling a bit too much like cat urine these days. Still, the Palin-Johnson axis has a long way to go before they take over the title of Most Dysfunctional Family in Recent State History. Keep reaching for that rainbow, people!
(2) Walt Monegan, the most famous ex-public safety commissioner in the world, is running for mayor of Anchorage. Palin supporters are questioning whether he has the “experience” required to manage the largest city in the state. That’s just funny.
(3) Another former state senator pleads guilty to being a Corrupt Bastard. At the pre-sentencing hearing, the ailing, 78-year-old John Cowderly expressed his wish to be confined at home so he could visit his doctors. The judge earned style points by noting that if Cowderly were jailed, “the doctors [would be] right there.”
If Alaska didn’t already exist, you’d all have to invent it.
