My dear David Leavitt, I love your candor and extraordinary accuracy. I never learned so much about Alaska's North Slope Borough. I fact checked your figures regarding NS Borough taxation and payouts for capital budgets and your scary huge NS Perm Fund. Boasting only an Alaskan Public Education, you are dangerous smart with the datum you fetched and assembled. Those are some mind-blowing facts and figures and you tied them up in such a tight bundle (limit on size on ADN comments post).
I'm the Journalism and Broadcasting graduate and son of gun! Since brevity is the soul of wit, you're hired.
Of course you'll have to move to Washington and be called a moron by your lesser peers amidst this forum. Self-deprecation is a cultural trait amongst the Nordic tribes, but it rubbed of on you my Eskimo brother. You are NO dummy. Darn fine writing and we could learn a lot from you.
I am afraid of taxes, but I sure can dig you now.
