2. As I pointed out on another thread

the sun has actually come out today -- literally -- in Anchorage. It's been cloudy and gray for all but about three days since May, so this is indeed a happy, happy day. The gods are smiling on us.

3. At least it's not a homosexual sex scandal

Thanks for raising the bar a bit Ted. We love you here on the tubes.

13. We don't know that yet.

For all we know, he could be indicted for running a gay whorehouse in the Alaskan tundra.

I doubt it, but it's always possible :rofl:

[clydefrand]

17. Would you call that a cool piece of a...?

[annabanana]

4. He has provided a lot of amusement over the years... the

"series of tubes", the bridge to nowhere, His resounding "NO" on the floor when asked to yield....

very funny guy

5. I would also like to share my appreciation!

Thanks Sen. Stevens! You RULE!

Just last Sunday I shared the "not a series of tubes" youtube vid with my family when we were talking about Netflix streaming movies. Much laughter. It was either you...or the wine.

[clydefrand]

10. 7 count federal indictment

He is toast. They got him cold with $ 250,000 of home improvements given by lobbyists in exchange of favors.

Just like Duke Cunningham but smaller.

Kind of like a "Minnie Me" I wonder if they can get joining cells.


I wouldn't be surprised to see him plead.

11. Alaska just turned blue.

[Cha]

16. We can only hope this tips

the iceberg.

[Coexist]

14. I did a really loud, screeching happy dance when I heard!

[freesqueeze]

15. It looks like the charge

is lying.

So far there is no quid pro quo accusation...but it is obvious that no one's going to do 250 large worth of work for the guy for no reason at all.

Is this a sign the DOJ is finally removed the blinders to GOP malfeasance? Let us all hope so...there are some other who deserve their focus.
