Iditarod Musher Dramatically Revives Fallen Dog

86. Whaaa???

How do you still not understand that discrediting the LA Times (which, just so you know, has fallen on terribly hard times and had to totally junk their traditional model) was not on today's program?

That could have appeared in the Bible and it would still have been an embarrassing justification.

I also *do* have journalistic "qualifications," but they are equally irrelevant to any point made in that post.

I never claimed I had intimate knowledge of Alaska - only that I'm not utterly ignorant of it. This was my best friend during my freshman year of college. We drank together, stayed up nights talking together, wrestled together - he was a champion wrestler back at West and was a little surprised by how strong this northeasterner turned out to be - and we went on vacations together. We talked plenty about his home and about life in Alaska. So I know *something* about Alaska. I also know more than most Alaskans do about why you couldn't report proper election results in the 2004 election, but that is another story for another time. My knowledge is surely limited. And as I said, it's too freaking cold, and I don't have much to desire for anything other than a compact vacation visit.

Again, still not the point.
