Maybe Ted Stevens conviction on 7 felony counts HAS had an effect on Alaska politics.  Sarah Palin is trying to cover her tracks of past breaches of the public trust and Alaska ethics laws by revealing free trips she "forgot" to report:

I wonder what other violations she will "remember" as time passes.  I'm so happy to see the Republican party clinging to this empty shell as the future of their party.  She is the gift that keeps on giving!

I've been blogging for nearly two years that the "Enron Math" of this administration was hiding the recession which was affecting "We The People" out here in the real world.

Now the "experts" are finally admitting that we've been in a recession since 2007!

Anyone else think that's news?  We've been feeling it all along, right?  And now that the "experts" have finally admitted we've been in a recession all along, it's official!  When do you think they'll announce the beginning of the depression we've been feeling for months?
