Big changes at ALASKA.GOV

The official website of the Alaska governor has changed. That was to be expected. It is Gov. Sean Parnell's website now. Or rather it is his to use as long as he is Alaska's governor.

What was not expected is the manner in which news releases from the site's archives have been pruned. The only remaining press releases from former Gov. Sarah Palin's time in the office are those which proclaim "Safe Boating Week" and the like. Gone are the Palin releases which announced the dismissal of bogus ethics complaints. Also missing are her statements on missile defense, the stimulus and a host of other issues.

It will be interesting to see if ex-Governor Palin will put up a website where those releases can be accessed. We hope so.

Meanwhile, Sarah left this for her 118,575 followers on Twitter:
"Last state twitter. Thank you Alaska! I love you. God bless Alaska. God bless the U.S.A."
Also, C-SPAN will air a repeat of its cablecast of the Alaska Governor Transfer of Power Ceremony, complete with Sarah Palin's Farewell address, the swearing in of new Governor Sean Parnell and his remarks, beginning at 12:58:19 AM Texas time.
