Via The Anchorage Daily News:

New York Times reporter William Yardley was in Girdwood this morning as the Murkowski family showed up at the poll to, presumably, write in the incumbent’s name on their ballots. First, Sen. Lisa Murkowski left her ID in the car and sent her son to retrieve it; then, as they voted, Murkowski’s husband, Verne Martell, asked from his booth, “Hon, how do you spell your last name?”

"Phasing out" Ha ha. Just cut them off. Big Bird and company bring in $1.3B a year, just in product rights. Re. the non-profit thing ... why shouldn't a multibillion dollar operation pay taxes?

Then there's this:

“To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”
