Happy Alaska Day! Today is the anniversary of Russia selling us Alaska for 3 cents/acre (the current value of my globally-warmed swampland in Fairbanks). We take the holiday fairly seriously here--I even got the day off from work with pay.
Appropriately, I see that Levi Johnston is in the news again. Is there no end to this bullshit? Alaska is filled with remarkable people, but the media and film industry keep focusing on our biggest fools.
Have you seen "Grizzly Man"? Despite the tragic ending, most Alaskans consider this film a comedy. What an obnoxious assclown! I fail to see how anyone can get 5 minutes into this thing without starting to root for the bears.
"Into The Wild" is equally ridiculous. Some screwed-up kid rejects the advice of helpful Alaskans and manages to starve to death in a place that local bush rats would consider suburbia. Great story!
There are people here who, through brains and determination, have survived incredible ordeals in the Alaskan bush. Why doesn't Sean Penn do a movie on one of them?
