We have long prided ourselves in being the reality based community but there is a diary on the rec list that is not reality based. The title screams, "Alaska Fisheries in Midst of Economic Collapse"! Well folks, Alaska fisheries are not collapsing. Follow me below the purse seine and lets look at the evidence.

We are a day past Solstice and at this latitude the sun will rise this morning at 8:39 a.m. and will set at 3:21 p.m. for a total of 6 hours, 42 minutes and 1 second of sun above the horizon. That is a gain of 5 seconds of daylight since the Solstice yesterday and it won't be long before we are gaining nearly five minutes of daylight a day. At its highest today the sun will be 9.6 degrees above the horizon. We are rocketing towards longer days and looking forward to spring migration. But for now we will have to deal with short days and long nights and be satisfied with the hardy winter residents that make their home in coastal southeast Alaska.

Jump past the gold filigree hummingbird nest and come with Mrs. RealAlaskan and me as we take a Solstice bird walk from our home on a hill overlooking downtown to Sitka National Historical Park, locally known as Totem Park, on the waterfront.

Sarah Palin got her start in politics in 1992 when she was encouraged to run for city assembly in Wasilla. At the time, the city administrator (recently retired) of my little town, John Stein, was mayor of Wasilla and had encouraged Sarah to run for city assembly.

Flip the page and find out how Palin unseated Stein and moved into Alaska state politics....

First, just let me say that I hate to even say or write the name of Rush Limbaugh. I heard him on the radio ONCE more than ten years ago and made it a point to never be within earshot of the spewage that comes forth from his facial orifice.

That said, I am compelled to write a few lines about a brave young Yup'ik girl from Western Alaska. You may ask, why is she brave and where does Rush fit into this diary?

Take the leap....

Readers of DKos have seen more than one 9/11 conspiracy theory surface on these pages. And there have been a few diaries questioning why conspiracy theory diaries are not allowed. Would it have to do with something about lack of evidence?

Take the jump...

Ninety two years ago tonight, Christmas Eve 1914, along the British section of the Western Front a remarkable thing happend. Men who had been shooting at one another across a "no-mans land" sometimes only thirty yards wide, quit shooting. Carols were sung and good cheer was yelled from the German side to the British and back again. Men who had been trying to kill one another the day previous, emerged from their trenches and met in good cheer and comraderie.

How did such a wonderous thing happen in such a terrible war? Follow me for a Christmas story......
