Reading up on Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's resignation from Trinity United Church in Chicago, I noticed a picture of Uncle Sam in The Alaska Report that looked a little different ... yet somehow familiar.
Take a look for yourself! See if it doesn't look like Obama.
The Alaska Report, an online magazine available at http://alaskareport.com/index.htm is published in Palmer, a town in the Mat-Su valley just north of Anchorage. It covers Alaska news, especially fisheries, and tracks the "Corrupt Bastards Club," the ongoing fraud investigations of U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens and other Alaska wildlife from a gleefully unabashed Democrat persepctive.

About Me
- Pete
- Springfield (Ill.), United States
- I'm a retired English, journalism and cultural studies teacher at Springfield College in Illinois (acquired by Benedictine University and subsequently closed). I coordinate jam sessions for the "Clayville Pioneer Academy of Music" at Clayville Historic Site and the Prairieland Strings dulcimer club, and I sing in the choir and the contemporary praise team at Peace Lutheran Church in Springfield. On Hogfiddle I post links and video clips for our sessions and workshops on the mountain dulcimer (a.k.a. "hog fiddle"), as well as research notes on folklore and cultural studies, hymnody and traditional Anglo-Celtic and Scandinavian music. I also posted assignments and readings in my interdisciplinary humanities classes. The Mackerel Wrapper (now on hiatus), carried assignments and readings for my mass comm. students. I started teaching b/log when I chaired SCI-Benedictine's assessment committee, and reopened it as the privatization of public schools grew increasingly troubling and closer to home.
