Must Read Alaska September 18, 2017
GOOD MORNING FROM SOMEWHERE IN ALASKA!
Today is the 70th birthday of the U.S. Air Force, established as its own branch when President Truman signed the National Security Act … MRAK has no opinion on the Emmys … But we’re cheered to learn that Sean Hannity’s show on Fox will be moved up an hour to go head-to-head with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.
Must Read Alaska — the daily web site — went through a remodel on Sunday and we’ll be working the bugs out all week. (And when I say “we,” that means me.) There were a few panic attacks along the way, but see what you think at MustReadAlaska.com — and shoot me a note. And of course, thank you for reading.
