I’m not sure where Joe Miller’s body guards were the other night, but they may have been cashing in their free drinks when Joe needed them most.

Watch the guy come in to the shot…it’s classic Alaska politics and I want to buy the young man a beer!

Minutes before Senator Murkowski’s press conference, I called someone in the know and they indicated concession was imminent.  I tweeted the news and Countdown with Keith Olbermann called.  Rarely does MSNBC do a live segment during the repeat broadcast, but Murkowski’s concession to Joe Miller was big enough news they did just that.

I had 40 seconds notice.

Great to talk with Keith again.

Last week, I sat down with NY Times best selling author Joe McGinniss on the 30th Anniversary of his Alaskan classic, Going to Extremes. Joining us was local attorney Hugh Fleischer and former Anchorage Times Editor and current Anchorage Daily Planet Editor Tom Brennan. Hugh was the North Slope Borough attorney back in the 1970s when Joe penned Going to Extremes.   Joe has known Tom for over 45 years, going back to their days at the Worcester Telegram in Massachusetts.

We still have a limited number of the new re-released edition of Going to Extremes.  For a $20 donation, we will have Joe personally sign your book.  Send an email to shannynmoore@gmail.com to check availability and reserve your copy.

I get hate mail. I have had my own death and my daughters described in detail. I think Palin calls them haters, I call them the Paliban. Here’s an example of what I find in my email box. Popcorn? Enjoy.

Subject: sarah palin is a coward and a bully.

dear michael…i mean…shannon moore.

i think you’re an ass. a big fat ass with
a big fat mouth. get a life..get a job.
i don’t believe you’re a woman. i think
you’re some fat loser sadsack posing as
a man on the internet. your man boobs
and beer gut must hang past your knees.

i don’t hate you because you’re a democrat..
i just think you’re going to hell because
you have to harass sarah palin and other
people to make your pathetic homely obese
zit ridden self feel better about yourself.

if you’re so DAMN great, you run alaska,
join public office..become a mayor..
a councilman..err..”wo”man…

i bet if you found out you were giving
birth to a kid with downs’ syndrome, you’d
abort it.. you’d probably murder on
tv, on keith olberman. left wing lunatic
performs full term abortion of her just
to be born baby because it’s not perfect
like her…oh wait, you’re a dude that
can’t give birth to kids.

if you have kids, they probably look
like the back of quasimoto’s balls.

you probably have to mate with brown bears
because noone would have sex with you.

if i remember correctly, you are big
fat and ugly. and a man…

you need a life…because nitpicking sarah
palin’s every move makes you look pathetic,
sickening, retarded, and sociopathic.

are you a sociopath? do you like beating
up old women too? do you kick little
puppies and
kittens?

people like you tend to.

go back to living with the taliban where
you belong. wait… or do you live with
al quaida? you’d be a nice fit you commie
loving traitor.

i wish sarah could sue you.

harrassing and stalking people online
is not a “1st ammendment right”..

it makes you a sarah palin obsessed stalker
and misanthropic ATTENTION WHORE.

too bad you contribute to the huffington
post..i thought they had DECENT writers
on there…not stalker trannies with a
3rd grade education.

i hope karma hits you over the head like a
baseball bat…

if you’re ever reincarnated, you’ll come
as a big piece of bear shit.

that about suits what kind of like you deserve..

..being eaten by flies while a bear lives
a nasty stanky witless uneducated asshole
stalker like you in the mud. enjoy the
maggots…

you would since you’re a maggot.

unsincerely

somone who hates stalker tranny michael
moore looking pieces of shit like…YOU

A loaded weapon was found on the protester. Hmmm…what do you think about this? Free Speech or buy a damn permit if you want to hold court on the fair grounds.

This week on Moore Up North, I sat down, one on one, with the two candidates for governor in the Democratic primary, Ethan Berkowitz and Hollis French.

I thought this was interesting given Sarah Palin’s defense of Dr. Laura’s use of the N word. Maybe Sarah wasn’t defending Dr. Laura,  just the use of the N word.  After all, as Governor, Sarah Palin refused to sign the Juneteenth Proclamation-the annual celebration of the end of slavery.

Here was part of Dr. Laura’s blog post September 2, 2008.

I’m stunned – couldn’t the Republican Party find one competent female with adult children to run for Vice President with McCain? I realize his advisors probably didn’t want a “mature” woman, as the Democrats keep harping on his age. But really, what kind of role model is a woman whose fifth child was recently born with a serious issue, Down Syndrome, and then goes back to the job of Governor within days of the birth?

I am haunted by the family pictures of the Palins during political photo-ops, showing the eldest daughter, now pregnant with her own child, cuddling the family’s newborn. When Mom and Dad both work full-time (no matter how many folks get involved with the children), it becomes a somewhat chaotic situation. Certainly, if a child becomes ill and is rushed to the hospital, and you’re on the hotline with both Israel and Iran as nuclear tempers are flaring, where’s your attention going to be? Where should your attention be? Well, once you put your hand on the Bible and make that oath, your attention has to be with the government of the United States of America.

Now, what’s really going on?

This week’s Moore Up North will be taped TONIGHT, Thursday August 19th, at 5pm!

Our guests will be Democratic Gubernatorial Candidates Hollis French and Ethan Berkowitz. With the election coming up on Tuesday, this show is MUST SEE TV!

Next week, Join us for a special GOING TO EXTREMES Wednesday edition of Moore Up North at Bernie’s Bungalow Lounge. Our special guest will be Joe McGinniss. Joe is in Alaska working on a book about Sarah Palin. He will be our guest on Wednesday to celebrate the re-release of the 30th anniversary of the Alaska Classic, Going to Extremes. We will have a limited number of new books on sale at the show. The new book has a new forward. Joe will be sticking around for a book signing after the show.

We are expecting a full house for Joe.  If you would like to guarantee your seat, and/or pre-order the NEW Going to Extremes paperback, email us at mooreupnorth@gmail.com
