She and DU'er XemaSab both posted the "Rape Culture in the Alaskan Wilderness" article --

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025519661 (Thursday 9/11) and http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025530499 (Saturday 9/13)

which generated some depressing discussion around our home. Not sure if they planned it, but the topic did not "drop" totally because of them (which so many good ones do when we find another fun issue to discuss, and go traipsing off on the outrage-du-jour).

But fortunately, Blue_in_AK also posted about the Palin Family Brawl http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025525694 which, let's face it, HILARIOUS stuff!!! Necessary after the depressing stuff, am-I-right?

Plus all of the "what's happening in Alaska politics" is good reading, and, if I recall correctly, hasn't she raised a couple of "True Blue" kids who also post good stuff on DU?

While there is much "BLAME" for our good Blue_in_AK for making life so blasted challenging when it comes to choosing from awesome photography, she is one of the many Great Posters who make this a Great Site.

Even if she will only let us vote ONCE per thread!!! (pout)
