Congratulations, Alaska!

After being the home state of THE most Unqualified person for the Vice Presidency ever (and we're talking less qualified than Dan Quayle here, people), you have apparently now very narrowly managed to NOT vote in the first convicted felon to the Senate. You've had a big year. Take a bow. And a break. For a decade or two, please. The rest of us want to go back to thinking of you as an exotic land full of individualists, like Wolverine, pristine wilderness, majestic caribou and hidden caches of Oil that we can argue over, but never actually drill for.

Anyway...
