In other Alaskan news . . .


Embattled US Senator Ted Stevens was found guilty on seven counts of ethics violations and making false statements regarding gifts and services he received. The 84-year-old Stevens is up for reelection next week and will stay on the ballot as he attempts to win his eighth term against Democrat Mark Begich, which could be served in jail. The charges carry a maximum sentence of five years, but Stevens will most likely not get the maximum penalty. His next move will likely be a decision of whether or not to resign from his position.

Now let us remember Senator Steven for what will undoubtedly be his defining moment, The "Series of Tubes."
