No condescending elitism here. /sarc.
Perhaps we should send the professor a link;

I think he will especially like this one;

Ok...so let me get this straight. They can’t destroy this woman directly, so instead they’re going to do a runaround and bad-mouth her town, in the hope that people will put two and two together and say that because her town is ‘crap’, she is ‘crap’.
I don’t really like Savage or listen to him, but I’m really beginning to believe that liberalism IS a mental disorder. These people are just wired wrong if they think this is somehow going to fly with Mr. and Mrs. Small-town America.
Wasila Alaska scares you? I suggest you visit the community Obama organized. Bring lots of clean Kevlar underwear.
Professor of geology at a college of liberal arts. I wonder what his peers think of him, most of the ones I know are pretty down to earth. (no pun intended either)
Trailers!!! You're scaring me! < / sarc >
Thank you Wasilla; thank you Alaska. I knew you would be taking hits when the elitist media threw their temper tantrum after not being able to “Bork” Sarah Palin. But I figured you guys would be tough enough to take everything thrown at you! Just keep it up! The rest of flyover country America are your brothers, and they are standing with you!
This is the kind of geography that scares me, in spite of Wasilla's stunning natural beauty and vibrant, outgoing personality.
Truly frightening the way these angry (bitter) Bible banging Christians live in this isolated mountain town with only high school football to entertain them. Wait, that sounds just like my town!
You forgot the “Thumbsucker Alert”
A "professor of geology" who is frightened by geography. LOL...you absolutely could not make this stuff up.

>>>many of whom talk openly about seceding from the “Lower 48.” <<<
I’ve been in Alaska for most of my adult life. Can I say “crap” on this forum? It’s more polite than the other words I’d like to write.
Beginning in 1973, I spent eleven years with a principal focus on the archaeological and surficial geology in Allaska
I’m surprised, he left off the clinging to guns line. Got the religion, forgot the guns.
While all this was going on in Alaska, Connecticut cities were becoming relics. We need and buy oil, but windup clocks have gone out of favor.
He’s just mad that Wasilla doesn’t resemble the “Northern Exposure” town.
Need more natives spouting mystical aphorisms.
That said, He’s more or less right about Juneau. One former governor, the late Jay Hammond, once flippantly suggested installing the entire legislature on a modified cruise ship so that it’s offices and staff would be physically constrained in size and that it could be periodically moved and moored in towns up-and-down the immense coastline from Ketchikan to Point Barrow.
That way citizens would have more and regular access to their government and lobbyists would find it next to impossible to set up shop nearby.
Oy, what a sniveling little snot that writer is. Sadly, a typical lib these days. A barf alert next time would be appreciated. :)
Not able to make anything stick on Governor Palin, they now resort to writing hit-pieces on a town?? How utterly ridiculous. Don’t these people realize what they look like to normal people, or is it that they just don’t care about making themselves look like blubberin’ idiots?
