That Mavericky Sarah is headed to DC to pal around with Obama at the Alfalfa. http://progressivealaska.blogspot.com/2009/01/saradise-lost-book-2-chapter-25-palin.html That's Saturday. Tonight, Sarah kicks off her 2012 campaign against Washington insiders, by being the guest-of-honor with Nixon fixer Fred Malek, an insider's insider. http://progressivealaska.blogspot.com/2009/01/saradise-lost-book-2-chapter-26-sarah.html

As Palin heads east, Mark Begich will make his first Alaska appearance since being sworn in as our junior US Senator. I'll be attending Sen. Begich's first Alaska press conference this afternoon in Anchorage.

There is a lot to catch up on at the end of this busy week in Alaska events. First, Palin, then Begich.
