The Nucular Strategery of Small Minded Media
As seen often here at the Lens, letters that when put randomly together – are sometimes able to form words that in turn, become sentences which then metamorphose into wild, poorly punctuated conjecture, coupled with crazy fantasmical theories of unbelievable asshatery.
It’s all sort of like the old Bush Doctrine of invade first and then go cut some brush…which is kind of like the Obama Doctrine; except that the brush “cuttin” is carried out in English. Tomato, tomawto. Potato, potawto. Nuclear, nucular…failure knows no color.
Failure does know Wasilla, Alaska and its small media.
As seen here, just a few poorly structured sentences ago…words have meaning.
Let us check with the wordsmith at the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman, who calls itself an editor. The wordsmith who gets paid to write the words on the pages of the Frontiersman, says that outsiders or writers who move in next door to the Palin cult, ought to remember that in Alaska, as in many other states of the Homeland, one can be killed if one were to…say…attack someones property. That means you…Joe McGinnis.
Sorry Iraq, Gaza…Pine Ridge, the law of Palin does not apply to you.
Word to the wordsmith from Wasilla, you can’t change history via an editor’s note. You can’t change history by doing the right thing. You can however, change history by making shit up, throwing it at the wall and seeing what sticks.
Tom Mitchell is the wordsmith at the Frontiersman and Kari Sleight is the publisher that vetted Tom’s editorial. Which if you know your history, Kari’s vetting process was just like the McCain camps vetting process. The shit stuck to the wall…then they ran with it.

The Vigilant Lens 
I’m interested in what McGinnis writes about Alaska and this doofy Alaskan since “Going to Extremes” in the ’70s.
As to the firearms gig, when I was up north, people didn’t joke or threaten with guns. They’re tools, and used for a purpose. Just like down here you don’t threaten people with skilsaws.
And none of those purposes guns are for include dealing with an asshole neighbor. In the north, it’s very likely your neighbor is an asshole. If you shoot ’em all, there won’t be anyone to work at the grocery store.
I’m wondering about McGinniss’ view of the truth, simply because now it seems the entire political spectrum is so rife with hypocrisy. The last 10 pictures of the Loosiana Gubna seekin’ federal aid, for example…..
Frankly, as you so clearly point out, I’ve no idea why the right is bitching, it seems they got all they wanted with the current administration. New boss, old boss.
Maybe we gave up democracy for a hypocracy.
Great read, lens.

I like to threaten idiots with my words of misspelled wittiness. When that fails to penetrate their genetically faulty, synapse thingies, I have been known to just pick them up and shake them.
As you know barman…neither works.
I thought the comment on Alaskan guns and their owners, was just another case of short white guy disease. The shorter they are…the bigger their scary weapons of mass hypocrisy. Look at Todd.
The Obama thing is a sad chapter in our increasingly sad existence.
It appears to me, that he is a better corporate Republican than Cheney ever imagined Bush could be. The only reason he is hated by the shallow end of the gene pool is because of his skin color. That’s it.
The reason the main stream Democrats refuse to see that Obama is the better Bush…is also because of his skin color.
That leaves what? Regular hard working folks, who just want to have a bright future for themselves, their families and maybe the rest of humanity? You can label us left wing or the “old” fiscal conservatives…but we’re all gonna sink together, if a few of us can’t figure out how to float together…
I’m low on caffeine and me thinks I’ve wandered away from your comment. So…what you said.
Debra Wilde! There, that’s better.
Thanks barman.

I don’t think you wandered away, maybe instead you drifted into what I wanted to say but couldn’t.
When Palin asked “How”s that hopey-changey thing workin’ out for you?”, it was a sad day. Sad because that idiot is happy they and theirs clearly think hope and change are bad…better despair and the status quo….but also because we still can’t get out of these criminal wars and Guantanamo.
I was always a Sunshine Shelly guy. But I get the notion.
Say hi to a steelhead today, lens. We’re trying, but we haven’t killed ’em all yet.

I have not spoken to a steelhead in awhile…perhaps I should do so quickly? At least we have very few oil drilling platforms on the Skagit. Green lawns, parking lots, roads, about 17 million solar free roofs and pipes pumping various “stuff” into the Skagit’s of the Northwest? We got plenty of those.
Nothing but mucho respect for Shelly…and how in the hell is Dan Kleckner still on the teevee?? I used to see him half naked at Clear Lake resort many moons ago…I’m still scarred by that experience and I blame the Cowles.
