Moxy came unannounced. Now, his story lives on in my mind. He wasn't a character sprung from fairy tales like those in Harry Potter; his stories are real. He came into my dreams & shared his adventures wth me, like the time he wanted me to watch his friends play chess. mybook.to/bYGL by Taylor Green

DEMS HAVE FLIPPED THE ALASKA HOUSE!
With the Bush Caucus rejoining Democrats, a majority coalition has been formed with 14 Democrats, 5 Nonpartisans, and 2 Republicans, totaling 21 seats. We have just one more uncalled race in the AK House.
