"David Anderson is one of those rare individuals, roughneck homie from the neighborhood turned sensitive international businessman. He is on a mission of the heart, which makes him particularly aggravating to left brainers like myself. ISOU is the product of an organic overachiever and is uniquely suited to entertain, perplex and provoke."
Michael Bowen Cobb
"ISOU is fascinating and fun for several reasons. And one of its most interesting facts is that it's by David Anderson who runs Grupo Utopia Internationale S.A., a company based in Costa Rica. So the outspokesn Anderson has a unique perspective on a lot of issues.
You'll never ever feel bored by ISOU. Even if you're a conservative you'll want to make it a daily read because Anderson always has provocative stuff and his comment boxes are active. (One of his posts today is an adult-oriented excerpt from a post on Karl Rove's controversial comments). It's one of those Internet gems that aspiring bloggers on the left and right might want to look at and emulate due to its mix of short and long-form posts and no-holds-barred viewpoints.
Take A Peek at In Search Of Utopia...and you may well find it.."
Joe Gandelman The Moderate Voice
"An obvious Enemy of the People. While pretending to follow the Party Line, he persistently displays dangerous Right Deviationist tendencies."
"David is a smooth-talking, bad ass mofo with a heart of gold, which makes him a cross between Samuel L. Jackson's character from Jackie Brown and Roger Rabbit. Such a stunning combination, indeed...too bad he's a commie pinko."
"I rarely see the open mind that is displayed by David Anderson on his blog In Search of Utopia. Despite his Progressive bent (which some label "liberal" as if that were an cardinal sin) David is always willing to look at alternate perspectives of issues, including those diametrically opposed to his, without an automatic knee-jerk response. Regardless of the ultimate viewpoint that arises in his blog, David cannot be accused of ignoring views that do not align with his inclinations."
"David is one of the most interesting people I know. You can love him. You can hate him. Regardless, you always like him. ISOU is David Anderson; educated, contemporary, and interesting."
"Check out In Search of Utopia if you want to read the powerful words of a blogger who refuses to stay within partisan boundaries. David isn't afraid to go against the Democrat (or even liberal) grain if it goes against his own convictions."
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (CNN) -- Lawmakers investigating Gov. Sarah Palin's firing of her public safety commissioner accused the McCain-Palin campaign on Thursday of stonewalling the probe by helping witnesses refuse to comply with subpoenas.
If Ms. Palin is innocent, why would she not cooperate?
The Straight Talk Bullshit Express, goes deeper into the muck!
It's being widely reported on CNN today that Palin is saying that Obama is chums with a known terrorist. Ohhhhhhh here we go baby. Lets whip out the "Lets scare the shit out of America," routin! "Nie-GROW with a Ay-RAB name, and a Black Panther Paster aint enough for ya? Well jee Golly, maybe he is a terrorist sympathizer to boot, out to rape, ravage and pillage Hockey Moms everywhere!

Reason 20001 why living in Paradise SUCKS at times!
Banco Cuscatlan, which I pretty much moved most of my money out of 6 months ago, after they were purchased by Citibank, has been having massive network problems for at least three days now.
The only reason I keep a couple grand or son in the Bank is to buy swag from Amazon.com. Well the last couple of days, charges for purchases from Amazon have been routinely denied by Cuscatlan, despite the fact that I have several grand in the account.
I got my kid and wife a debit card at the bank so I dont have to go digging in my wallet every time they need loot. The last two days, they have not been able to withdraw money from the bank's ATM machines or use the cards to make purchases.... My wife went to the bank this morning and someone there told her that they expect long lines this afternoon as people come to the bank to witdraw funds that they can not access via ATM. ALL OF THIS, and Cuscatlan does not even bother to put notification of the problems or an ETA of resolving them...
And you know what? NOT A SINGLE TICO WILL COMPLAIN!
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ, having known the truth, I had
no choice than to do what is lawful and just in the sight of God for eternal
life and in the sight of man for witness of God & his Mercies and glory upon my
life.
I am Mrs. Sarah Baxter, the wife of Mr. Ricky Baxter, my husband worked with
the Chevron/Texaco in Jordan for twenty years before he died in the year
2005.We were married for ten years without a child. My Husband died after a
brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we both got born-
again and dedicated Christians.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial
home which the Bible is strongly against. When my late husband was alive he
deposited the sum of US$7.5 Million. (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand
U.S.Dollars) with a Bank in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote me
as the beneficiary that our account has been DORMANT and if I, as the
beneficiary of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the funds will be
CONFISTICATED or I rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to
receive it on my behalf (note that you need to activate this account) as I can
not come over.
Presently, I am in a hospital in Jordan where I have been undergoing treatment
for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have
told me that I have only a few weeks to live. It is my last wish to see this
money distributed to charity organizations anywhere in the World. Because
relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I
cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of
them.
Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand-in as the beneficiary and
collect the Funds from the Bank. I want a person that is God-fearing who will
use this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of
God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained.
The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took
this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and
my husband's relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's hard
earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this
money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold
decision.
I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going to. I know that I am
going to be in the bosom of the Lord. {Exodus 14:14} says that the lord will
fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don't need any telephone
communication in this regard because of my soundless voice and presence of my
husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this
development.
With God all things are possible.
If you are interested in helping me fulfill this dream, you can email to my
personal email: sarahbaxter_70@hotmail.com
Your Sister in Christ,
Mrs. Sarah Baxter

Dear Partner,
Good day, firstly, I apologize for sending you this sensitive information via e-mail instead of a Certified mail/Post-mail. This is due to the urgency and importance of the information. This project is based on Trust,confidentiality and sincerity of purpose in order to have an acceptable meeting of the minds. I am a fifty two(52)years old established lawyer. My name is Christain Bell,a legal personal attorney to an expatriate and a consultant with an American Oil company,PENNZOIL (Now deceased) He died in the Tsunami disaster on 26th december 2004 while on vacation in Thailand.
Six years ago, My Client successfully executed a contract for the Federal Government of Nigerian {FGN} worth US$18.3 million dollars. A part payment of USD9.million dollars was paid to my client, while the balance of USD9.3 million Dollars was still unpaid before my client died in the Indian Ocean Tsunami disaster. However, all my efforts to locate the possible next of kin proved abortive. Untill his sudden demise, He was not married and was 44years old.
NOW THE CRUX OF THIS E-LETTER is that the new elected Government Of Nigerian is fully paying all foreign contractors who have successfully executed their contracts and my client is among those benefited in this first quarter payment schedule which has already been deposited in his bank. As his personal attorney/Adviser, his bank has officially notified and instructed me to forward particulars of my client's next of kin within the next 14 official working days so that he/she can be paid the outstanding USD9.3 Million dollars otherwise his payment will be diverted to the government coffers account as uncliamed bill.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any of his relatives, I decided to contact you for a deal so that we can work together as a team to remit the money to your account as my client next of kin since I do not want to seat and watch my client hard earned entittlement to go astray,it will be easy for us to achieve because you are of the same name and country like him. Although I know that a transaction of this magnitude might make anyone apprehensive but I would like to assure you that I am proposing this project to you with the best of intensions. As a lawyer, I have the power to secure all the necessary legal documents that will be used for this claim. All I require from you is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this transaction will be executed under a Legitimate banking arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. Upon successful conclusion of this project,you will be compen sated with 40% of the total fund,
If you are interested to work with me in this deal then kindly reply strictly with your personal Telephone /fax number for effective communication and oral clarification on how to proceed next.

Revenge of the Hockey Moms, or "What Alaskans REALLY think about Palin
I have a feeling that the lipstick is coming off the pig.
And Alaskans are now on point in pointing this out. Wonder why this did not receive more play?
Does not look like the "Hockey Moms," are buying it either.
Alaska Women Reject Palin rally was to be held outside on the lawn in front of the Loussac Library in midtown Anchorage. Home made signs were encouraged, and the idea was to make a statement that Sarah Palin does not speak for all Alaska women, or men. I had no idea what to expect.
The rally was organized by a small group of women, talking over coffee. It made me wonder what other things have started with small groups of women talking over coffee. It's probably an impressive list. These women hatched the plan, printed up flyers, posted them around town, and sent notices to local media outlets. One of those media outlets was KBYR radio, home of Eddie Burke, a long-time uber-conservative Anchorage talk show host. Turns out that Eddie Burke not only announced the rally, but called the peopl e who planned to attend the rally "a bunch of socialist baby-killing maggots," and read the home phone numbers of the organizers aloud over the air, urging listeners to call and tell them what they thought. The women, of course, received some nasty, harassing and threatening messages.
I felt a bit apprehensive. I'd been disappointed before by the turnout at other rallies. Basically, in Anchorage, if you can get 25 people to show up at an event, it's a success. So, I thought to myself, if we can actually get 100 people there that aren't sent by Eddie Burke, we'll be doing good. A real statement will have been made. I confess, I still had a mental image of 15 demonstrators surrounded by hundreds of menacing "socialist baby-killing maggot" haters.
It's a good thing I wasn't tailgating when I saw the crowd in front of the library or I would have ended up in somebody's trunk. When I got there, about 20 minutes early, t he lin e of sign wavers stretched the full length of the library grounds, along the edge of the road, 6 or 7 people deep! I could hardly find a place to park. I nabbed one of the last spots in the library lot, and as I got out of the car and started walking, people seemed to join in from every direction, carrying signs.
Never, have I seen anything like it in my 17 and a half years living in Anchorage. The organizers had someone walk the rally with a counter, and they clicked off well over 1400 people (not including the 90 counter-demonstrators). This was the biggest political rally ever, in the history of the state. I was absolutely stunned. The second most amazing thing is how many people honked and gave the thumbs up as they drove by. And even those that didn't honk looked wide-eyed and awe-struck at the huge crowd that was growing by the minute. This just doesn't happen here.
Then, the infamous Eddie Burke showed up. He tried to talk to the media, and was instantly surrounded by a group of 20 people who started shouting O-BA-MA so loud he couldn't be heard. Then passing cars started honking in a rhythmic pattern of 3, like the Obama chant, while the crowd cheered, hooted and waved their signs high.
So, if you've been doing the math Yes. The Alaska Women Reject Palin rally was significantly bigger than Palin's rally that got all the national media coverage! So take heart, sit back, and enjoy the photo gallery. Feel free to spread the pictures around to anyone who needs to know that Sarah Palin most definitely does not speak for all Alaskans. The citizens of Alaska, who know her best, have things to say.
And before one of my conservative friends come along and tell me that the pictures are photo-shopped, just go check out here.
