Just taking the big dog out for a walk.

This man is the first politician that I can remember voting for who actually won.

Being a liberal in Alaska is seemed that every one of my votes might just as well have been flushed down the toilet.

Then in November of 1992 it suddenly seemed as if my voice had been heard.

Admittedly it was not a perfect presidency, but damn it was a hell of a lot better than many of the ones before it and infinitely better than the one that came immediately after.

I have great confidence that my vote helping to elect Hillary will be just as satisfying as that vote in 1992.

Chelsea Clinton pregnant again. This is how the daughters of famous politicians are supposed to start, or add to their families.

What? Still married to her first and only husband? Giving birth to her second child and telling the world immediately rather than having the tabloids force her to admit it?

That's just crazy.

The next thing you will say is that her mother is going to publicly congratulate her instead of refusing to acknowledge the blessed event for months.

Well what do you know?

Wait, and her dad too?
Man all I can say is that these three would be laughed right out of Wasilla.

Congratulations to this amazing family.

Nine year old boy shot and killed by his grandfather during canned hunting excursion on family ranch.

Courtesy of Fox 4:  

The Wise County Sheriff's Office says a 9-year-old Wise County boy was accidentally shot and killed by his grandfather Saturday while hunting on the ranch the family runs. 

Investigators say it happened around 10 a.m. during a controlled pheasant release at the 9 Bar Ranch just outside Decatur. 

Nine-year-old Callen Little, his parents and his grandfather were in a hunting stand. 

At some point, Callen left the stand. 

The grandfather accidentally shot the boy in the chest as the birds were released. 

"He'd left the stand for some reason and then the birds were released and when they shot, they shot into the direction where the boy was, and he was struck in the chest,” said Wise County Sheriff David Walker.

I am trying to figure out how you can lose track of your nine year old grandson with people in the area getting ready to fire off their weapons and I just can't do it. His safety would be a constant matter of concern for me. 

Yet another senseless death as the result of the careless handling of firearms.
