With about 75 percent of the vote in, Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK) leads with 47 percent of the vote in the ranked choice contest for Alaskaโs sole congressional seat.
Tsemppiรค, Mary!
Looks like that Big Red Wave has turned a lighter shade of blue, as Repubs turn a whiter shade of paleโฆ
Cool! Rural areas are counted early and they tend to swing toward Republicans. That she has a big lead with early votes looks good.
Peltolaโs Finnish connection is via her husband, Gene โBuzzyโ Peltola.
Murkowski admitted to reporters that she plans to rank Pelotola first on her ballot
Pelotola? Somebody was up late watching election results.
Good for her. That is the way politics should go down.
In tight Alaska House race, Mary Peltola runs โpro-fishโ campaign
Palin reports rumors of liberal schools of fish swimming up from California and voting, despite not being Alaska residents.
Peltola defeated Palin, thatโs all I need to know.
Great, great, great song. (I am trying to tamp down on my use of gratuitous profanity) @littlegirlblue
I appreciate that effort though you are not an offender, and I certainly want to be able to drop the F word or C word or D word now and again. I like this song too but I never really understood the lyrics until Annie Lennox sang it.
No idea here, either. But there is the sonic euphoria, and he sings so beautifully I figure it means something.
โWe skipped the light fandangoโ and them Iโm confused. Probably the best song to listen to on drugs.
And then there is this song, for the occasion. I first became aware of it when one of you dropped it into a comment here a few years ago.
Iโve always thought of it as a poetic collage of dreamlike images revolving around some naval event with awesome women and presented in hymn harmonies suggesting hope of redemption. But I never could reconcile that with the horribly incongruous millerโs tale, which is way too bawdy for such an interpretation.
What do you make of I Am The Walrus, is it a collage of dreamlike images or is it John Lennon being a misunderstood poet baffling all of us?
Somebody wrote that it was about an orgy that got out of hand.
I say: โSure. Why notโ?
I think the important thing to keep in mind is that The Walrus Is Paul.
Goo goo gโjoob, goo goo goo gโjoob
Iโd say itโs an acid inspired joke song. Back in the day, under the influence, I saw pretty little policemen in a row too, so I think I know what theyโre talking about there. And Semolina Pilchard? Cโmon, thatโs funny.
too beautiful, thatโs why. mileage may vary
