OK, as some of you know, I lived in Alaska for 24 years. I married an Alaskan Native man. My kids are Alaskan Natives. It would be safe to say that Alaska is my favorite place on earth. What most of you don’t know is that Sarah Palin was my mayor for six years. That’s right. I lived in Wasilla for eighteen years and for six of those years, Palin was mayor.
Most of you also know that one of my favorite authors is Jonathan Rogers. I cannot say enough good things about his voice and his vision. But what many of you don’t know is that Dr. Rogers has come under attack lately for…well…let’s say…stretching the truth a bit in his stories about feechie folks and their wild antics.
I was heartbroken when I heard that anyone would cast aspersions of the fine name of Dr. Jonathan Rogers. So you can see why I was overjoyed to find this video of Sarah Palin on Larry King Live, confirming that, Yes, Virginia, there are feechie folk. They exist as certainly as wild stinky boys and fearless hunters and bad love ballads exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest horror and hilarity—
Oopsie. Sorry. Palin didn’t actually say that. 1 I’m getting two stories mixed up.
But she did say that she believes in feechies! Have a look:
And by all means, please go and like his Facebook page. AND…why not make a feechie video for your own self? Do you believe in feechies? Have you ever seen a feechie? Why not tell your favorite feechie story and upload it to YouTube?
The rules are few:
The biggest thing happening on my Facebook page in the near future is the Feechie Film Festival. The idea is to take a short movie of yourself (or someone you love) telling why you do or don’t believe in feechiefolk, and upload (or link) it to my facebook page.
Yes, Virginia, I do love Larry King and Sarah Palin.
- And, no, she never said she could see Russia from her porch, either. That was Tina Fey. Palin said, quite correctly, that you can see Russia from an Alaskan island. The two islands of Little Diomede and Big Diomede are within sight of one another. One is Alaskan and one is Russian. ↩
