It's Harder on Native Alaskans

(via Syd O) CNN reports on how the recession, climate change, and a series of factors are especially hurting native Alaskan populations. They rely on fuel to heat their homes and snowmobiles to hunt and travel, and the changing seasons are making hunting and fishing more difficult - and eggs cost $22! Many are starving and relying on school lunches for food. Palin and Murkowski are asking for a bailout or for BIA help in the matter.

It's funny how a Republicna who campaign on a platform of government being the problem is the first one to ask for a handout when shit hits the fan. Sarah, if I ever come out to Alaska, I will meet you at the corner of Intellectual Consistency St and Irony Road.
