Still, seeing this kind of foolishness coming out of Alaska is disappointing -- for some reason, I've been operating under the comforting illusion that somehow, things were different there. [Read]

Many things are different, and many of those are very nice. Being about a generation behind the march of 'progress' has its advantages, but the sickness is widespread and doing its long-term work just like it has elsewhere.
The worst of it, of course, is that Alaskans dearly do love them some law and order, and so they do venerate their Only Ones. It's true that at this moment in time the hassle is less than in many other places, but it's there.
As for ADN: hell, it's a mainstream newspaper. The only writer on their staff that has not been a total urinealist in the entire time I've been here, is a woman named Julia O'Malley. I don't think she's a gunnie by any stretch, but she does act like a real reporter, enough so that I used to regularly give her nods back during my own Examiner days.
If you want to get a real sense of things that are going on up here, and you're limited to the ADN, you want to look for things written by her.
