A few months ago I wrote on this blog that I thought there was no way that Governor Sarah Palin would be picked as John McCain's VP.

"Sarah Palin will not be chosen as McCain's Vice President and it has to do with a combination of a lack of experience and what she brings to the table," I wrote on July 7.

Seems like just yesterday, Sarah Palin was on a passionate crusade for open and transparent government. Fighting the Randy Ruedrichs and the Greg Renkes of the world, demanding a government that allowed a clear view for all to see from the outside.

In the Anchorage Daily News, Reporter Wesley Loy filed a story in Thursday's edition about the AGIA bill signing ceremony that took place during the AFL-CIO convention.

After reading the article, it's apparent that the story is in desparate need of some translation.   

There are stories abound about the on going Branchflower investigation regarding Troopergate that seem to come right out of a Law & Order episode. 

Branchflower showing up in offices, flanked by techies, ordering hands off of keyboards and searching hard drives of state employees computers for emails...or possibly missing emails.

Meanwhile Attorney General Talis Colberg issued the attached memo regarding personal use of state issued equipment such as Blackberry PDA's and computers along with an opinion regarding the liability of those communications being subject to public disclosure.

Last week I received a tip from a source that the workers compensation file for Governor Sarah Palin's ex-brother in law State Trooper Mike Wooten was requested to be sent to Juneau at request of the governor's office.
