One of the more arrogant, biased, ridiculous editorials I've read in the News Miner in a long time, and not just because of the subject material. Arrogant elitism isn't reserved for the liberals anymore, apparently.

Unless you are native you and your families are likely (statistically) to only have arrived in the past 50 years. Alaska-hire? Maybe she and her husband will establish a new long-term Alaska family, enabling her children's children to gripe 50 years from now about how "outsiders" are moving here and taking jobs. Sigh.

I guess even a Democrat from Alaska has to drink our particular brand of ANWR koolaid, but it doesn't make it any less disappointing.

Thank you, Mr. Bunter, for supporting your firefighters with both your words and your dollars.

I'm sure Ms. Douglass is very professional, but she IS a PR person.
I work for the government too, and yes sometimes it is our job to "work through procedures", but it is the job of the press to investigate and report the news, sometimes if necessary by short circuiting those procedures, and more power to them when they do.
The Newsminer reports "by press release" way too often. I'd rather not rely on a government press release to hear about what is happening, even if it is from my own agency.

Since when does a reporter have to rely on a PR person to "release more information in a day or two"? You do have reporters on staff, don't you? You know, the kind that go out and ask people questions, and report?

This thread just shows that it isn't about bicycles and trucks or canoes and jet boats...it is mostly about jerks and the people who love them.

"I guess if you are listening to your Ipod and not paying any attention to your surroundings (knowing that a vehicle is behind you) then that vehicle will blow their horn and for blowing their horn you might display your middle index finger.
The other way you can deal with this, you could pay attention to your surroundings and give way so that person won’t have to blow their horn."
Or the third way: follow the law, exercise your rights and privileges as a bicyclist as laid out in state code, maintain your own safety and take the lane, until a driver behind you follows the law and signals audibly, at which time you pull to the right as far as you can without taking the gravel, skidding, flinging yourself down into the ditch and crashing.

Hey Ocents-
So what if the vehicle behind doesn't give an audible signal? Think about it. And on a four lane road I can ride in the middle of the right lane all day long (yes, even two abreast) and not impede traffic, since there is a passing lane for cars to use.

No Joe, that's apparently poor hunting.
