A heated exchange between two Congressmen and a historian they didn't want to hear from shows what happens to democracy when knowledge is no longer the arbiter of what is true, but is simply another "way of knowing."

It's time for the NRA to stop playing footsie with domestic terrorists and those who plot to kill cops and judges, just to pad their bottom line.

The "Tea Party" movement flies in the face of what the true patriots in Boston stood for. Corporate lobbying-run groups are creating the illusion of grass roots protests at the health care town hall meetings.

Allowing imports, driven by personal stories, has always been the tack of the trophy hunting groups and it's precisely what has allowed mass killings of polar bears by Americans to occur.

The wrongs of the Bush DOJ do not make Ted Stevens innocent nor do they exonerate him. The attempts to make him a martyr by local right wing apologists are pathetic.

Why did Karl Rove's right-hand man and special assistant to George W. Bush, under Congressional investigation for felony vote caging, come to Alaska over 20 times last year?

Lawrence Lessig, through his group, Change Congress, has already done some of the important legwork to get us involved in removing the influence of special interests in Congress.

While it's amusing to read about politicians who thought they could surreptitiously pass below the radar, it's important for citizens like you and me to make sure they're held accountable

Anyone who thinks we don't need a more transparent election process here in Alaska because their candidate is in the lead is a pathetic partisan hack.

Adding to the mystery of the missing Alaskan voters, there was the fact that the poll predictions were wrong.

All camps -- Stevens and Begich in the Senate race, and Don Young and Ethan Berkowitz in one of the House races with the strangest results -- are still at work. It feels like 2000 Bush-Gore around here.

Alaska needs an election autopsy STAT. This year's turnout was smaller than the election of 2004 by 6.1%. I would have to smoke more than salmon to believe that Alaska, with Palin on the ballot, decided to sit this one out.

We're supposed to believe that overall participation decreased by 11%. This historic election both nationally and for Alaska had the lowest Alaska turnout for a presidential race ever!?! Something stinks.

Prewitt: "It's going to be a tight race, but Stevens could still win this thing. Stevens has been around so long, and we do have a very partisan situation up here in Alaska."
