Reporting from Wasilla...

My friend Allison is currently living in Wasilla, Alaska, the hometown of soon to be ex-Governor Sarah Palin. She has been taking advantage of her time up there catching king salmon, halibut, sockeye salmon, shrimp, and even an octopus. Between her fishing adventures, I asked Allison to provide me with some info on the state of things after Palin's resignation. Here is her humorous report.

So the riots have diminished and the upheaval has ebbed over the Sarah "the Quitter" Palin controversy. I personally got a big screen TV, an i-pod, and a "I survived the resignation of '09" t-shirt out of the whole ordeal. Honestly, folks here really aren't too concerned with this. I heard some old guy wearing Levis, an "Alaska Grown" t-shirt, and suspenders say, "it must be that Palin girl's time of the month". Swear to God.

In REAL news… last weekend's Moose Dropping Festival went to "shit"! This is basically the biggest summer event each year in the Mat-Su valley. Please read this article… or at least read the comments at the end. This is no joke. These folks really talk like this!

(by the way, when is the last time you saw the word "mayhem" in print?)

So, between trying to keep up on the hourly changing fishing regulations, I'm also distancing myself from the inner-city Anchorage gangsta's and studying city code, making sure I abide by these 3 simple Wasilla ordinances.

1. No books.

2. No jumping.

3. All organized gatherings/group outings/social functions/meetings/festivals must center around some form of mammalian excretion.

Hey, at least the bars stay open 'till 5am!
