my adopted home. I arrived in Alaska 23 years ago after a six week road trip from Colorado where I was living with my brother after the break up of my marraige. Alaska was the end of the road for those of us who left "America"(it also wasn't a Republican stronghold in those days, but that is another diary). Like many people who ended up here I was seeking a little adventure and had a long fascination with the idea of Alaska.

Paul Krugman and Stuart Butler went at it hammer and tongs on today's Fresh Air with Terry Gross.

Krugman is a columnist for The New York Times; Butler is a vice president of the Heritage Foundation, focusing on domestic and economic policy. The pair debate Bush's economic policy as the country deals with the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

So the msm danced around the Gannon story and we had to be happy with the editorial pages picking up the scent. Well, a couple weeks ago Harry Shearer had a field day with the Gannon story (Gannon at Harryshearer.com Feb. 20) You gotta listen to it, classic radio. (Sorry couldn't link the audiofile)
Saturday David Horsey summed up the WH newsroom with this cartoon in the Seattle PI: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/horsey/viewbydate.asp?id=1173
Today (it is Monday the 14th of March here in Alaska) it is Doonesbury http://www.doonesbury.com/strip/dailydose/
I say, "Pile on however you can" and keep the story rolling.

Once upon a time common political wisdom had it that if the late night talk shows parodied a polictitian on a regular basis that was pretty much the kiss of death. Gerald Ford was doing fine until he stumbled on the stairs of Air Force One (not to mention his white socks). Johnny Carson had a great time with that. Ford lost to Carter.

Since everything is parody these days that adage has become as quaint as the Geneva Convention. However, last week on Le Show, Harry Shearer brought up the Gannon affair but only touched on it. As I expected, he had a hey day with old Jeffey Boy last night.
