1. The irony of Mine That Bird's success

Edited on Sat Jun-06-09 02:04 PM by Blue_In_AK

is that his owner was the beneficiary of his dad, Bill Allen's, plea bargain in the Alaska corruption cases, which are now all getting the "re-do" because of Bush Justice Department incompetence. Bill Allen was Ted Stevens' good buddy who did all the work on the Girdwood home, and the one who gave all the money to the Alaska legislators so they would vote for an oil-friendly tax scheme.

There doesn't seem to be an karmic justice here.
