The Alaskan Stereotype.
"Seething anti-Native sentiment" is racism, pure and simple. Just because they don't seem to hate the same races as people in the lower 48 (and believe it, that seething anti-Native sentiment is common wherever there is any Native population nearby), doesn't make it not racist to hate one group based on their race.

Feeling Sorry for Carrie Prejean.
Thanks, Dan, for pointing out the stupidity of Prejean's answer during the pageant. The Christian right love to crow about how she lost the Miss Whatever title because she "spoke out in support of her Christian beliefs," but forget that her answer was stupid and wrong.

Dang, Politico just screwed things up for any women-of-childbearing-age who work for the RNC.

Speaking of Robert Zemeckis (And Amy Dickinson).
When relying on family members or close friends for childcare (esp. free childcare), you can expect them to follow the big rules (ie, we don't spank our children, no peanuts for billy b/c he's allergic) but otherwise, you have to trust them to do what they think is best. And it's good for kids - good because it teaches them to respect that there are different rules and expectations in different places and environments.
