I am not looking for more money and the chip-in will close. We are pushing for people to get themselves elected to state as delegates-- even if the cannot afford the $250 delegate fee. It may turn out that we will need some help form the rest of the USA to create dominance at the Alaska state...

I am in charge of this chip-in and it has already been spent many times over. I have committed to sponsoring up to five delegates to the state convention at $250 each. I planned to have money for radio spots, etc., but have spent quit a bit on signage, and printing fees. For example, I...

They raised the convention fees because we scared the pants off of them four years ago. They know we have a mostly younger group that has a hard time paying for things. We had people opening their homes as a crash pad and delegates eating sack lunches while the establishment rhinos had 4-star...

Our goal this time is at least 10 delegates, but we are in it to win it. :)

McCain only got 3 delegates based on the results of our Super Tuesday Presidential preference poll, but the republican leadership gave all of the other candidates' delegates to McCain and nothing to Paul. So think of that: in the election Paul got close to twice as many votes as McCain, but in...

I think Alaskans are sick of Palin, but maybe it is mostly just me.

I am the one collecting money on the chip-in and I will attempt to match the funds contributed to the best of my ability (which is not a whole lot at the moment unless I withdraw some savings). My spouse and I were delegate/delegate-alternates to the national convention last time, and the...

Obama won't kick Bernanke's ass (We do it here) Not everyone views Economics as "The Dismal Science". It is actually quite entertaining to see economies wrecked by governments and their central banks. Here is a video that makes a joke of Ben Bernanke! YouTube - Helicopter Ben by Chris McGraw...

I just spent the evening with an eleven-month-old human child, and I have never seen a dog with more than a small fraction of the intelligence of this child, who had a spoken vocabulary of 15-20 words and an understanding of dozens more. The child rapidly learned how to manipulate several items...

Once done, it is done for good. This is how the sales taxes in Alaska finally start. Despite repeated rejections, once a tax is started, it becomes a sacred ritual that never will be questioned again: A source of government loot as long as the wind blows and the grass grows.

Americans fear and loathe freedom as much or more than most people. They elect politicians to specifically crush the hated freedoms that terrify them, and then children in compulsory government schools sing about the home of the brave.

Ixnay on Jim Rogers. He is a big part of the problem.

Timing was interesting The timing was interesting. The only Presidential candidate who was warning about the economic house of cards was shut out by John McInsane, and then when bootlicker Palin and McInsane were safely and finally the official annointees, the financial system was brought down...

Why is it logically more plausible for a vast intellect to just exist than it is for mass to just exist? Does the creator have mass? Did the complex thinking creator just "exist"? Primates have questions.

I had to sit through a Steele speech, and he was spouting a pure neocon line. I hope he has changed, but color me skeptical.
