Begich Wins! Now, About that Travel Guide....

Dear Senator-elect Begich:

Congratulations on your election victory today! We're looking forward to seeing you join the Senate's Democratic majority. Your presence on Capitol Hill will certainly help President-elect Obama fix all the things that the Bush Administration broke.

Just now, though, we were wondering — could we call your attention to what we cats think is a potentially inappropriate use of state resources? It's a little mailing going out over Sarah Palin's name for a FREE Alaska travel guide. We've posted about it before, but now that you're going to be an Alaska Senator and all, we thought we'd write to you directly.

It's a little weird, don't you think? Governor Palin peddling a book to us, when we can find all the Alaska tourism information we want on the Web? And making the state pay for the return postage when we send back the little card that conveniently asks for our demographic information and an e-mail address?

You might say we cats are curious. Or, at least we smell a rat. A 2012 rat.
