The View From ‘Nowhere’

Perhaps Ketchikan, like New Orleans, is located at an area that is poorly suited for human habitation. It might be cheaper to relocate these residents permanently to a location that has some purpose for existing?

I get a kick out of how the folks who obviously want to make this a political issue against the McCain/Palin ticket do so withsuch absolute disrespect. The point here is that this is a huge waste of taxpayer money to benefit very very few people. I wonder how queertyo987 would like it if someone spoke about his mother, wife, or sister that way?

I believe Ketchikan deserves a bridge to their airport (controlled by the Feds). Just because they don't live in New York City and don't have a horrendous crime problem doesn't mean they don't deserve some help. How many billion dollar Interstate Highway projects were built in the lower 48? Lots of them, but none in Alaska. Let's give them a break!

OK kids, quibble not. Both parties do the same thing. Our entire system of government has become what it is because we the people have abrogated our responsibility of being active in the process of government, The "silent majority" has allowed virtually all of the problems in this country to become what they are today. Quit sitting back and watching in amazement as our country crumbles! Turn off the TV, get off the couch and make your voices heard! Quit buying into the we're right and they are wrong so everything is their fault crap that both partys spew. We all have knowledge and experiences that bring value to the discussion and even though we don't agree on everything, we are all AMERICANS and need to take the best of what each one of us can offer to pull this country back from the brink of destruction. Pull together, not apart. Share ideas not criticism. We are at a crucial time in the course of this great nation, when we will either stand together dust each other off and move forward, or sit pointing fingers at each other as we sink into oblivion. Partisan politics is an obstruction to good government. Let your elected ofifcials know you expect them to create solutions not wallow in the problems. Share your ideas, support the good ideas that others have. Worry not about who gets the credit because if we do not, there will be more than enough blame to go around for all.

I think liberals and people who are uneducated will end up voting Obama in to office. I HATE THE IDEA OF BIG GOVERNMENT. I would like to see this community get some help with the bridge they need so bad.

The city of Ketchikan should have had that bridge along time ago if the governor was not spending 150K on campaign wardrobe, 11K per week for a hairdresser to get that perfectly streaked haircolor, 10K japanese made rimless eyeglasses, (come on people, who the hell spends that kind of $$ on eyeglasses and then, tries to call themself "just another hockey mom"?) I doubt the hockey moms can afford any of that. She charged the state of alaska 22K for her daughters to fly around the country w/ her and stay in very expensive hotels, but when you see footage of her speaches, her daughters look quite bored and annoyed that mom is making them go w/ her to work cause the oldest set a bad example and got KU'd. Sarah Palin wants to keep same sex unions from having a basic human right (marriage), but what if liberals ran a return add about a kid coming home from school and telling their mommy that its ok to get knocked up, and then, maybe marry your prince? Send her lying ass back to the freezer!
