My mother wanted to make sure my name didn't rhyme with any "naughty words" as she put it so I wouldn't be the target of cruel playground limericks. Unfortunately, the only naughty words she knew were "Gosh", "Darn" and "Night soil" so she thought she was in the clear with ScienceDuck.

Having now passed the Legislature, the Governor should veto this bill. It, among many sources of federal funding, would seem to prohibit "emergency disaster" funding. If so, not a very smart move on the part of the Alaska Republican majority. But, what would you expect. In the Senate the vote was 13-5. 10 State Se...

So what you are really saying is we're protesting the rights of others to peacefully assemble. Instead of promotion of your candidate through understanding and debate.

Good comment. That's funny because I just mentioned Illinois then saw your comment.
