Yeah. Population-wise, my joke has always been that Alaska has barely enough people to qualify for a senator (if I'm remembering my gov't class correctly, you get one sen. for every 650,000 people; AK has about 650,000). And geography-wise, Alaska is three times the size of France and something like a quarter the size of the entire contiguous US.
And politics-wise, we have a fairly unique system of government that deals with totally unique issues in the US. We also have a shit-ton of corruption -- in both parties. The fact that we have few people is immaterial to both those facts.
Rrrrrr. As for "cunt," I am all for reclaiming the word, but using it in a derogatory, dismissive, knee-jerk fashion towards a woman IS NOT RECLAMATION.
