Where is Blue in AK? Can someone please get her this message?


Blue, you know we are in serious trouble here in Alaska.

You know so many people here, anything you post gets tons of recs, people trust and respect you...

can you please post more about what is going on in our State politics?

Alaska is beyond corrupt now, worse than Wisconsin, we need some serious media attention to this overt fraud.

All of the money and resources in this state, with ALEC and Conoco infiltrating everywhere, they don't even audit the state funds

to Rachel, Big Ed, or Lawrence O'Donnell? If not, I suggest you do. I've sent them lots of info they've used on air. Don't know if it was my emails or they were already onto it, but whatever, it got looked into.

and I've been kicking your posts. If you are in District 19, you should come to a meeting Thursday night at the Spenard Rec Center to discuss what we're going to do about Lindsey "Benedict Arnold" Holmes. What she did is a disgrace, given the current makeup of our legislature.

much interested in what goes on in Alaska these days especially since "she who shall not be named" sucked all the oxygen out of the room for a couple of years to the point where no one much cares about Alaska presently. Frankly, I almost miss her given what we're dealing with now. Parnell is a dangerous man, and those troglodytes in the legislature need their heads examined. Bob Lynn, Wes Keller, Chenault? Good Lord...

but didn't get much response. Speaking of that, here's some interesting info from Phil Munger at Progressive Alaska http://progressivealaska.blogspot.com/2013/01/shell-drill-rig-kulluk-heavily-damaged.html?m=1

I have now received word from two anonymous sources on Kodiak Island that it appears damage assessment of the Shell Oil drill rig Kulluk is far worse than has been thus far disclosed by the Unified Command:

Severe hull damage, making it unsafe to tow it to Puget Sound

Severe power plant damage from saltwater contamination

Severe damage to wiring, ventilation and other internal control systems

Supposedly, a very large, oceangoing dry dock will be underway soon to Kodiak from Asia, and the rig will then be brought to Asia, most likely Korea, where it has been worked on before. At present, the rig is being attended in Kiliuda Bay, an the southern shore of Kodiak Island by the tugs Pt. Oliktok, Warrrior, Lauren Foss, Ocean Wave and Corbin Foss. Also on the scene is the anchor-handling vessel Aiviq, oil service vessel Nanuq, and the recently arrived oil service vessel, Sisuaq. Several other smaller vessels are also present. The Kulluk is presently at anchor in the bay:

and also Firedog Lake where he's a contributor. He used to be the harbor master in Whittier, I believe, and still has connections in the Coast Guard and maritime communities. I trust his information implicitly on these things.

She'll had been extremely tight-lipped about this.
