WASHINGTON -- The Alaska National Guard is facing down some grave allegations: A recruiter trying to give alcohol to high school girls, botched responses to sexual assault complaints, embezzlement, a former porn company owner keeping his job despite military investigators finding that he failed to respond to sexual assault, and whistleblowers terrified to speak out.

9. Cha, it's pretty horrendous.

Some school districts are banning even recruiters! (Finally.)

10. Mahalo for that link to Shannyn Moore's article, raven mad. I left a comment and thanked her, too.

I hope Alaska gets Bill Walker!

11. Yep - a real 1956 style Republican I'm willing to swallow my tongue and vote for.

Byron Mallot as LG will top everything off! Shannyn rocks; she is so in tune with "real" Alaska!

7. The Guard story is about the Governor and his lapses, not Sulivan

I wonder how and/or why it is effecting the Senatorial race? I'm glad if it is but I would hope it would have an impact on the Gubnatorial race as well. I just wish our guys had not cuddled up to Palin and that she had not endorsed our guys.. That fact alone makes me hesitant to vote for our guys in that particular race.

8. The Guard coverup, along with Don Young and Parnell's general FAIL............

Keep your fingers, toes and eyes crossed folks; even here in the Interior, horrendously red, I've seen more Begich support than Sullivan.
