1. Add this to the long list of ironies

Alaska, the last frontier, home of libertarians who want the gubmint to keep its nasty tentacles out of citizen's lives, and of course home of the Wasilla hillbillies the Palins, is literally the only state where the government sends checks directly to its citizens.

Don't get me wrong - Alaska is without a doubt the most beautiful place I have ever visited, but their libertarian/conservative veneer is all fake. Alaska is also home to many national parks and military installations, and there are lots of government employees in that state. They should be the poster child for government!
