The legislature reaffirms that each public officer holds office as a public trust, and any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that trust."

Oddly, she also claimed that the investigation was a "partisan circus," although the legislative committee who conducted it consists of  6 Republicans and 2 Democrats.

If you're in the mood for an Emporor's New Clothes kind of moment, listen to the audio of her interview with Alaska reporters in which she appears completely oblivious not only to the content of the report, but to the actual questions asked by the reporters.  

Thad just tipped me off to a site that looks interesting, and I'd like to know what folks think. We could integrate it with the blog, if there is enough interest. Does it seem like something you would use?

The following two movies will be playing this week at OFS:

Mama Mia! (Oct. 12-Oct. 17):

From OFS: "Bride-to-be Sophie has, unbeknownst to her mother, invited three of her mom's exes to her wedding to find out which one is her father. In this screen adaptation of the smash Broadway musical, of course chaos, merriment, and singing and dancing ensue. This film features an all-star cast, Greek isle settings, and catchy ABBA tunes you won't be able to get out of your head."

Battle in Seattle (Oct. 12-Oct. 17):

From imdb: "WTO veterans and "This Is What Democracy Looks Like" fans may grumble, but should give this fictionalized version of the 1999 WTO protests a chance -- no, Townsend wasn't there at the time, and yes, the characters he follows can seem at times more symbolic than real, but as Sean Axmaker says in Green Cine, 'I have to hand it to Townsend for not only showing how the protests caught the city by surprise and capturing the chaos within the loose organization of protesters... but also for getting beyond slogans to explain what the WTO was doing and what the protesters stood for, at least to come extent.'"

Hola OlyBlog posse-

Weird haps this morn with my residential Internet service:

So, I was checking out that vid that JT posted and tried to watch it 3 times all the way through on OlyBlog, and the the vid stopped about half-way thru and then >poof< my DSL modem's Internet light went out each time-

-I was curious is anybody had the same fail or insight~

I imagine that Qwest is to blame, but I can't figure out why/how...

The modem would reset and the DSL light comes on (means the modem is connected to the CO), and the Internet light would go green, and then fail when the vid reached mid-stream...

...now the weirdness increases...

I went to YouTube direct and watched the same vid and no prob at all-

Curious huh?

So, I'm gonna drop the Voice service on my Qwest line and either stick with Qwest as my ISP ($10/mo.) or go back to Zhonka and pay for the sexy Zhonka DNS service of whatever magic it is that Zhonka does...

...heck, I might just switch to Zhonka to support a local business (again)!

OR...

This may finally be time to get do the homework and setup the next phase of the ENA FreeNet project:

Acquire Internet access wholesale through NoaNet and start the wireless ISP in my neighborhood that I have been planning for a while-

I really just want a phat pipe to the 'net-

-so, for the Web connoisseurs out there, what is the Internet connection of choice?:

*Optic (DS-1)

*Copper (T-1/Frac T1)

*Wireless (802.11/802.16)

--I won't consider Comcast, as they restrict the end users (no sharing)--

If this issue gets any traction, Obama has a real problem on his hands.

Thanks to Jeanine for getting that camera to me.

Know what that means?
