McCain's plan for health insurance reform will eliminate company paid plans within a few years, while raising the taxes and cutting off millions of us from exisiting health insurance plans.

Sarah Palin could be the next Vice President of the United States? OMG! From the moment that Alaskans began waking up across the state, phones started ringing as we called and were called by loved ones, friends and just about anyone we could think of that might have any interest in our local political scene suddenly going national. It is just wild! It is amazing. It is genius. It is idiocy. It is, at the very least, a Hail Mary pass that could pay off big time or bite Mr. McCain in the behind.

The 2008 Alaskan Annual Permanent Fund Dividend checks may reach $2,100.00 (per person) this year. Also, just approved, is an energy relief check for all Alaskans, an additional $1,200.00 per person to "help" with the rising cost of heating oil, natural gas and electricity in the state. That is a total of $3,300.00 for every man, woman and child living in Alaska that will be delivered to us in about 2 weeks.

Why Recycle?

Winter is here (almost) and the as trees have become bare, it reminds me of the cycle of things and how, in the spring, I will rejoice at the rejuvenation of all things green. AS I pack up my recycle box every other week, it gives me that same feeling. The sense that something that is over and gone will go on to become something new and useful again. New life!

I was paid $1654.00 just for living in Alaska last year. To find out how much Alaskans made this year go to "It Pay$ to Live in Ala$ka"
