Is Alaska really just like one long Jerry Springer show? That is the general impression one gets via the media.

Hey, did I miss the followup that guy asking his female friend on a date with the snow fortress? Or should I have been keeping an eye out for a FAIL tag on it.

Para Sailin!

Alaska is the new Florida?

Florida is laughing at Alaska.

I bet Cornzilla could beatup Snowzilla...

I feel worse for Alaskans daily. I know you're not all a joke.

Well.... yeah

"All your base(snow) belong to me", SnowZilla

They have these new snowmen where people are only allowed to look at them and make sure everything is ok and this dog bites anyone who tries to touch it.

Man, this is good stuff :D.

How about stopping approval of registration only pages.

What has to happen next is the synchronization of 10,000 microwaves, to produce enough radiation to bring Snowzilla to life, and point him the direction of Canada. START STOMPING, SNOWZILLA! GO GO GO!

MrLint: How about stopping approval of registration only pages.

No registration necessary for me. You fail?

Basically, everybody except the mayor, his enforcement goons, and one person on this guy's block love Snowzilla.

This is the mayor who just got elected Senator.

And we're still stuck with Palin. We have the worst republican AND the worst democrat in the country at the same time.

Can someone provide the abridged version of this snowzilla thing? Does Alaska hate snowpeople?

Her approval rating is awful, say, compared to your beloved congress, right?

Alaska is boring.

Is it wrong every time I see a snowman I just want to knock it over?

Thunderpipes: Her approval rating is awful, say, compared to your beloved congress, right?

Her ploy was to ride in on anti-corruption claims she had nothing to do with, drastically raise taxes on oil companies and ride the boom while prices were high. She has been wasting state money, Begich (the mayor) has been pioneering every possible avenue of waste - subsidized with matching money from the state's coffers. Of course, all of this combined will simply cause the entire economy to implode when the free money runs out (oil in Alaska is declining, we're missing out on our chance to reinvent ourselves before it's gone..)

Her plan for the future is to pull the oil companies into a gas line project on ridiculous terms by threatening to take their legally guaranteed oil leases away from them. This became very very amusing when the head of the Canadian company which is supposed to actually steward all this publicly noted that it won't go anywhere without Exxon's support. Massive legislative turmoil and anguish (BUT.. HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE OUR STOOGE. WHY DOES HE HATE US AND SAY THESE THINGS?) resulted.

The oil companies are going to ride things out until the state's massive spending increases bite it in the rear, at which point it will be forced to sign on to any deal at all just to get the gas flowing.

Ted Stevens was an incredible genius compared to these two (though Begich would beat him on tech - Palin, I'm not sure..)

I think Palin's support is more a matter of a deranged "us versus them" mentality than anything else. I'll be gone by the time offal clears the rotary spinner, if things turn out well =)

FTFA: Aug 23, 2008: "Powers [Snowzilla creator] has a plan for much of the remaining junk.

"The city of Anchorage has kind of outgrown me," he said.

He intends to haul the stuff to his land near Wasilla, where he's in the early stages of building a house he hopes to move to some day.

Someday there will be: A Snowzilla in Wasilla....

WOOOOOOAAAAAAOOOOOOHHHH!!! Look out dontcha know!
Here comes Snowzilla!

Alaska needs some SUN!

/And up the meds too

hopscotch: Alaska needs some SUN!

/And up the meds too

There is a thing as TOO MUCH SUN you know. It's called Florida. They have more people on the same meds you think Alaska needs, but thanks for playing.

I'm an Alaskan and I approve this message.

348: Para Sailin!

Why didn't I think of this one on my own? I do this all the time! I'll have to tell my best friend that one.

Thanks for the Calvin & Hobbes cover, taurusowner. That's my favorite of the collections, so it put a huge grin on my face!

I am going to make it a point to go out and see this thing today or tomorrow.
