The article mentioned the Selendang Ayu, a bulk carrier transporting soy beans that went aground and broke up in the Aleutians a decade ago, as well as the Kulluk more recently which went aground on Kodiak island.

I think the clue is at the end, as all good clues should be. The MOS of a machine gunner in the Marines was 0331, the 03 was for infantry. We are all doomed, doomed, this is a hint of the military coup that is about to destroy all freedom and free speech. Elsewhere in today's paper was the suggestion that only a milit...

We simply have to reduce the cost of educating public school students. We spend like $18,000 per student and this amount is ridiculous and unsustainable. School administration must be reduced.

I don't think the law says anything about fish death, only about polluting the water. Which was done. Therefore the person responsible was charged with the violation, had a trial and went to the pokie, living in a cage, locked up, won't see the sun for a year, can't go fishing. Aaahhhh, you get the point?

"Documents show North edited the tribes’ petition before it was sent to EPA in May 2010."

As the chair, Senator Stevens should be setting the example. He could just say "No!" But, that isn't happening and he is just following with the crowd. It is time for him to resign or be replaced in the state legislature. He is not representing the people of Alaska.

We need to go back to the ORIGINAL language of the tax cap we voted into place back in 1983.

The legislature did not approve this. Mike Hawker and Pfeffer made a "back channels" deal in spite of legislative employees telling them it was likely not legal. The Legislative Council gave Hawker free rein to do this without oversight.
