Owner of Shooter's Billiards in Wasilla implicated in major meth bust



by Channel 2 News staff
Thursday, December 31, 2009
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- The U.S. Attorney's office on Thursday announced a RECORD SEIZURE of methamphetamine bound for Alaska.
Approximately 23 pounds -- yes, pounds -- of Mexican meth were intercepted on its way to Anchorage.
Four people have been arrested: 51-year-old Ricky Reese of Wasilla, the intended recipient and owner of Shooter's Billiards; 29-year-old Jared Lisenby of Anchorage; 78-year-old Ronald Hall of California; and 54-year-old Debja Steilen of California.
According to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's office, the investigation began on March 29 when Drug Enforcement Administration officials seized $12,000 from a pickup truck being sent from Anchorage to Seattle.
The truck had been shipped back and forth from Anchorage and Seattle on numerous occasions and belonged to Hall, who had prior drug trafficking convictions.
Investigators followed the truck through Oregon and into California where they connected it to another vehicle associated with Hall, this one a Ford Explorer registered to Steilen, a traveling companion of Hall's.
Hall made three round trips into Mexico on consecutive days, Dec. 10, 11 and 12. Hall and Steilen then drove the Explorer from California to the Seattle suburb of Fife, where they put the vehicle on a barge bound for Alaska.
DEA agents executed a search warrant and found the meth in a trap door underneath the rear seat.

Sarah Palin Signs With Fox News, Liberals’ Heads Explode

Posted by Larry O'Connor Jan 11th 2010 at 1:09 pm in Fox News, New York Times, News, Sarah Palin | Comments (8)

Fox News has signed former Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin as a contributor:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Sarah Palin, former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate, will take her conservative message to Fox News as a regular commentator, the cable channel announced Monday.​
“I am thrilled to be joining the great talent and management team at Fox News,” Palin said in a statement posted on the network’s Web site. “It’s wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news.”
Fox said that according to the multiyear deal, Palin will offer political commentary and analysis. She also will host occasional episodes of Fox News “Real American Stories,” a series featuring true inspirational stories about Americans.
Considering the fact that Ms. Palin recently ran a close second behind Sec. of State Hilary Clinton as the most admired woman in America, and considering that Ms. Palin’s book has sold astronomically well since its release on Nov. 17th, it’s a no-brainer that a network would pick her up. It’s not a bad idea to have such a popular woman affiliated with your brand.
But we expect the traditional media outlets to jump onto the old “Fox News is biased and Sarah Palin is shallow” angle of this story before you can say “Hockey Mom.” They will charge Fox News with blatant political cheerleading by hiring a person many believe to be a likely presidential candidate in 2012. And, they will attempt to diminish Gov. Palin as a “personality” by claiming she would rather be on television than finishing her term as Governor (they just hate the fact that they couldn’t make that “quitter” thing stick, don’t they?) Although, you never know — maybe some of them could surprise us.
The real story is this: A popular, telegenic former Governor who ran on the national ticket one year ago will now be a frequent contributor to the highest-rated cable news network. And, considering that CNN and MSNBC are bleeding money and viewers, it makes one wonder: Why didn’t they try to hire the governor? What fun it would have been to watch Sarah vs. Katie II: This Time, It’s Personal. Could it be that their blatant political agenda keeps the MSM from making sound business decisions?
That noise you’re hearing outside your windows right now is the sound of liberals’ heads exploding in rage and frustration.
One other important note, Ms. Palin will most likely be working without a teleprompter. Imagine that.

Anyway this probably means that Joan of Arc is out of running for 2012 election. In their ecstatic joy at seeing their Goddess on FOX every day, her acolytes do not seem to have realized that yet. Give them time, some of them are slow on the uptake.

But this very likely means that there will be no Joan of Arc in 2012.

Some do. SHe has all kinds of threads here on CanCon. Some people have even elevated her to Sainthood and beatified her.

Quite so, EagleSmack. Her acolytes have. I don't know if you are her acolyte, you haven't said so here.

Anyway, she probably saw the writing on the wall. In spite of the adulation of her acolytes, her worshippers (and one of them claimed in this forum that she was going to win a landslide victory in 2012, winning 49 out of 50 states), she probably realized that somebody with as high negatives as she has, will find it very difficult to win the presidency.

Much better to work as a columnist for a extreme right publication, where she could be another Rush ‘drug addict’ Limbaugh, with her own army of dittoheads, her own army of acolytes, who will hang on to her every word and will agree with her no matter what she says. And lots of money in the process as well.

So she did the sensible thing by practically waving goodbye to the 2012 run.

Fair and balanced news! I would like to think she had a temporary lapse and was thinking of maybe The News Hour with Jim Leher, but no, she actually was talking about Fox. Sheesh, the utter idiocity that this poor creature continues to spout is nonending.

Fox is about as "fair and balanced" as MSNBC.

It's amusing that people believe that tag line from FOX.:lol:

Hannity, O'Riley, Beck and now Sarah....wow...fair and balanced.:roll:

So who from the left has a show on FOX?

FOX is clearly a mouthpiece for the Republican Party. It beats me why they don’t market it as such. I would think they would get even a bigger audience if they market themselves as mouthpiece for the Tea Parties, for the Republican Party.
