In America, we believe that competition strengthens us.

Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reason, and not just to mingle with the right people.

We are truly the land of the great. From the rock shores of... Hawaii... to the beautiful sandy beaches of... Hawaii... America is our home.

I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities.

When I took my oath of office to serve as your Governor, remember, I swore to steadfastly and doggedly guard the interests of this great state like a grizzly with cubs, as a mother naturally guards her own. Alaska, as a statewide family, we've got to fight for each other, not against and not let external, sensationalized distractions draw us off course. As an exciting year of unpredictable change begins, we, too, have our work cut out for us. And we're all in this together. Just like our musk ox, they circle up to protect their future when they are challenged. We've got to do the same.

Bored, anonymous, pathetic bloggers who lie annoy me.

What can we do to nurture and support a people capable of living in freedom?
