Don Young's Numbered Days

A poll of Alaskans shows an early lead for the Democrat, Ethan Berkowitz, in contesting Don Young's seat, by about five points.

When a video of Don Young shooting a Beagle puppy in the head while being interviewed on Oprah is shown to voters, Don Young's support decreases by an additional 2 percent. Okay, I made that one up- if only to illustrate the incredible intransigence of Alaskans' historical support for this creature.

Attention Ethan Berkowitz: this better be worth the 35-year wait.

Side note: I'm following these Alaska politics because a) I spent 30 years there and am still seriously pissed off, and b) I am comparatively sanguine about true-blue Seattle. (Except for the Seahawks, of course: Alexander was just booed at home. Calling all nations!)

Uh-huh.

The Sea Lord doth protest too much, methinks.

"I'm sorry, they're still called the Seahawks? Not the Presidential arse-kissing Tory lambkins?"

Hasselbeck's Bush moment has undoubtedly brought a curse on the Seahawks. Oh, it's been ugly. The great Mack Strong, also undoubtedly contaminated by close contact with Bush, and now out forever, raised the 12th man flag last game. In another body blow, Chuck Darby is out for the season.

Seahawks: our team represents one of the most progressive parts of the nation. We're not the fucking Cowboys. But the 'Hawks are going to be responsible themselves for lifting this unholy spell, brought on by making Bush an honorary Seahawk.

The Viceroy is really the expert on Sports curses, and we need to lift this one toute suite. To purge the Bush curse, I suggest the entire offense spend a day volunteering for Dennis Kucinich.
