moose

i have some sad moose news. a co-worker of mine who has traveled to alaska probably a dozen times in 20 years has never seen a moose despite her efforts. i hope we are more lucky.

in case we aren't, here is a great picture (shockingly, not doctored in any way) of a very content looking moose.

I wouldn't worry.... Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska is busy making sure the wolves are killed off so there are more mooses (meese?) to be killed off by the hunters (not the least of whom is Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska).

Perhaps, if you wear a blaze orange jacket and carry a scoped rifle, the Alaska Department of Tourism and Moose Hunting can gin up one just for you?

now now, let's keep politics out of the rosenblog, even if she is a whack-job...

Amy, I really dopn't think referring to Alaska's Governor and winner of "Miss Congeniality" in the 1984 Miss Wasilla contest as a "whack job" is a suitably respectful way to refer to the only person on the Republican ticket who actually has won that title (which seems to have incurred some bitterness in the other person on the ticket.....)

perhaps whack-job was overly harsh. i will happily apologize to the esteemed governor palin personally when we visit her great state next year. i trust she'll be in residence.

sarah said...

i hear lots of whack jobs are congenial; the two are not mutually exclusive. amy got described as congenial in first grade, i remember...:p

Amy said...

i was also called ambitious in the first grade. does this mean i can be vice president, too? or at least run for it?

and sarah, don't think i'll be letting this pass, whack-job...
