what you call Don Young's arrogance, is exactly what keeps him getting elected again and again. He has stuffed animals in his Washington D.C. office, he says some of the stupidest things I've ever heard, and yet he represents the majority of Alaskans pretty well!
If you lived here for any length of time, and were not just yet anohter carpet bagger from down south, you would remember the quote:
Before you accuse Alaskans of gold plating the plumbing, at least let us get out of the out house.
Aw Heck, the giant in-your-face polar bear mounted over the doorway to greet whiny liberal PETA types is one of the things I LIKE about Rep. Young. tee-hee.
