While I don't want to divert attention from today's
thorough repudiation of eight years of neoconservative, fundamentalist Christian wingnuttery, it has to be asked: what the frell were 104000 Alaskans thinking when they
voted for Senator Ted Stevens (and likely re-elected him), when he's just been
convicted of seven corruption charges? Very short memories, sheer bloody-mindedness, or - as I suspect -
blatant ignorance?
Geez. And people wonder why I have so much contempt for backwards, rural communities.
