Here is an extract from the post -
During this election, the political animal I have become is… a Moose. Large and seemingly dull, it is in reality a sturdy, highly protective beast, a peaceful animal but one that can become aggressive when it is threatened, crashing noisily through underbrush with tremendous power and vitality.
The moose lives in cold, snowy places, forests and mudflats, often nosing his way into backyards, tipping over swing sets and snuffling in the clean, white snow. Why a moose, you ask?
I have talked about The Mudflats before in these pages, about how I stumbled upon this brilliant and fascinating blog written daily (and more) throughout the campaign season by a dedicated, caring, hardworking, intelligent citizen, from her home in the Mudflats in that cold, harsh land that is Alaska, and I became a loyal and passionate follower.
We, her readers, men and women spread far and wide around the world, shared and aired, laughed together and cried together, ranted and raved, learned and informed, gathered and shared information, analyzed and debated. We formed a motley crew but with a common interest and goal, to help bring about the change that we all so desperately hoped for. And somewhere along the line, we have all become Political Moose, peaceably protecting our country, angrily charging together whenever the basic tenets of our country are threatened.
Once again, I would like to honor the founder and writer of this blog and encourage her to keep up her oh-so important work. Whether dressed in her jammies, sitting in her basement (wink!) or fully dressed in jeans, yellow wellies and down jacket, she digs through the muck of Alaskan politics, unearthing treasures lost in the snow, brushing them off and wrapping them up in humor for public viewing. She has gathered around her this faithful following of educated, funny, warm men and women and we follow her still. Long after the election was over, we know that politics and political high jinx do not end. So here we remain.
Jamie has her own blog - Life’s A Feast - with many tempting recipes and food photography. Be sure to drop over and leave a comment!
