Note To Readers

It had been my intention to continue updating the blog with pertinent news items today. However, due to developments in a story I've been focused upon lately and additional research required, it became impossible.

At this point, while hoping for some call backs for comment in that regard I doubt I will get, I do have the story nailed down enough for publication.

Either later today, tonight, or tomorrow if absolutely need be, I anticipate breaking a significant story as a blog exclusive in due course. And, yes, I suspect many of you will be pleased.

As an aside, the phone lines have been burning up between Florida, Alaska, California and even Utah as a direct result of the story I uncovered, with some solid help I'll note later. So ...., if you want to hit the tip jar. Just sayin', is all.

Yeah, and I'm absolutely kind of stupid silly right now. I have been since last night when I first discovered the thread I've been unraveling, save for some few hours of sleep.

It might not be the be all and the end all, by any means. But it is sweet. Where it goes from what I will be able to document remains to be seen. One can always hope for the best, or the worst, depending on where you stand.

I just donated to you Mr. Riehl and will continue to do as much as I can. It's people like you that we need to see more of in today's world and less of the Jesse Griffin types. Anyone that has an unhealthy obsession with another person like he-she(Jesse is a real heshe) does with Sarah Palin, is odd and I mean odd. I can't believe there are people like heshe out their in the blogosphere. Anyhow, one day we'll find out why a 49 year old supposed man has spent the majority of his years around young children. I am not making any allegations, but the desire to be around young children to me isn't always healthy. I can't believe that the parents of the children in the school he worked in the last few years never raised any questions. Perhaps if he went out and became a certified teacher it might be different. But he didn't even do that. That's telling. If you have young children, be mindful that there are "lurkers" out their. And Jesse Griffin gives a whole new meaning to the world "lurker." Thanks again Mr. Riehl. I will do my best to keep contributing what little I can until I hit the lottery and I mean the big one. God bless. I bet if I posted God bless on Jesse's site it would get stricken.

Jesse Griffin Jesse Griffin Jesse Griffin!

That's your Dan Riehl update for today. If you're looking to fixate on the next shiny object, I'm sure Jon & Kate + 8 will be by shortly.

Zomg! Jesse Griffin!

"So ...., if you want to hit the tip jar. Just sayin', is all."

I do, I do. Thank you Dan.

From reluctantly reading Griffin's blog, it's apparent that Tony Knowles is not much higher on the food chain. Alaska should thank it's lucky Big Dipper stars that he didn't get elected.

[anginak]

I emailed Mr. Knowles with my perplexity re: the supposed statements made by Mr. Knowles to Griffin that Griffin wrote about in his blog...

If Knowles reads him every day and will say such glowing things to this dude, he's a moron.

I think this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to these Alaskan bloggers. Follow the money. Thanks Dan!

no expression/response, is usually a universal sign of inattention/unimportance.

fortunately we get lama and p-lib, crying out,

"We're not peeking!"

I haven't been rabidly following jesse's fall from grace, but what I find far more entertaining than the complete and utter destruction of a human bag of excrement, is the joy of watching liberals squirming, while simultaneously telling us that they aren't squirming.

[Patrick Bateman]

"Fall from grace" = obscure winger blog wetting itself over insignificant story.

"Liberals squirming" = pointing and laughing at said wingers who hope that if they destroy the blogger who hurt the Baraquitta's feelings (a violation of the first amendment), someday the Iquittarod will wink at them and give them that naughty *starbursts* feeling.

[Liberty Belle]

I hope people don't think we're all crazy stupid lefty bloggers up in AK. I certainly am not one!

Looking forward to your story, Dan. Keep it up.

I kid you not, Dan. "Ricky Hollywood" escorted Kathy Griffin at some awards show in Hollywood yesterday, and it made CNN.

Now that he's making money, perhaps Bristol will get a child support payment?

I couldn't believe it when I saw that Allah headlined this at Hot Air.

Knowles was a treasure wasn't he??? Then we had Frank from the other side and must say that I am just glad his daughter takes after her mother. There are a couple of others in the state that I would like to see loose all credibility also but one slug at a time I suppose... then there is Begich... don't get me started!!!! jj

I didn't know that this blog promoted the murder of political opponents. Oh wait, yes I did.

Yes, and it's still pathetic that you think it matters.

What, Michelle Obama was seen departing in a Klingon Bird of Prey? Old news.

Like I said, all the right has left is this childish thuggery...... little punks like Danimal making empty threats from the basement of their mom's house.

Patrick,

Do you ever READ the crap YOU post? You, who are so easily offended, need to purchase a mirror.

[Proud Liberal]

I hear that Dan is working on some jaywalking offense of Griffin. Stay tuned. Blockbuster revelation.

[Jake]

“This is Journalism 101.”

“No Hayekian would have accepted such a wager,...’

“In all honesty, I can assure readers that your contributions to the tip jar are now more earnestly solicited than ever.”

“Confident as I am in your continued generosity, then, let me note some curious facts about our recent encounter with "Gryphen"/Griffin:”

R.S. McCain is the Uriah Heep of the blogosphere.

If he’d bothered to study Journalism 101, he’d know not to talk about himself and all of his creations ad nauseum. The other three quotations taken from that useless, nothing-new swill he posted speak for themselves.

How utterly Hayekian, Uriah.

[christmasghost]

Of course I'll hit the tip jar....anything you need.

Mongol General:...Conan! What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

gotta love those 'lamenting women'.

[Proud Liberal]

Jake, I'm with you on this. A rather self-indulgent waste of words on McCain's part. Said nothing at all and took quite a long time to not say it.

[jakee308]

Ah, Proud Liberal and Jake, slumming with the nutjobs I see.

Funny that; go to dailykos or huffpo or any other site that caters to the loony liberal left and read all the excited droolers proclaiming their vast intelligence, perception and wisdom and being congratulated by others with equal room temperature IQ's.
Strange it is the contradictory statements of how stupid the wingers are and yet how their conspiracies are so cunning and long lasting. 'Bush was a moron' that somehow managed to conspire with hundreds of other people to destroy the twin towers (unless of course he managed it all on his own) yet even though he's so despicable and ignorant, manages to inspire loyalty in all those minions (TO THIS DAY) such that NONE HAVE COME FORWARD OR EVEN WRITTEN THE NYT OR ANY OTHER MEDIA OUTLET ANONYMOUSLY ABOUT THEIR PARTICIPATION IN THOSE ACTS OF MASS MURDER!!!!

Yet for some reason you two seem to love hovering around this site (like a couple of bad smells). Instead of basking in the fellowship of your own kind you bring yourself here, where you're comments are generally unwanted and unsuited for whatever topic is at hand. We hear how smart and powerful you are and how weak and pathetic we are yet ... here you are. Perhaps, just perhaps, you find here some answer to the hollowness in your lives, a spark of some sort that you just can't put your finger on. You wish you didn't keep coming back here but you can't help yourself.
I wonder if perhaps deep inside you is the knowledge that the leftists and liberals you claim to admire are actually the real enemy, your enemy, the country's enemy. Their programs and plans are false; they rely on tearing down not building up. They worship at the shrine of nihilism and ultimately that is a death sentence. First death of soul, then death of heart and finally death of mind. We see the regression and wonder when those on the left will admit to themselves that they hate themselves but project that hate as coming from others, caused by others, that the right wing has made them what they are; pathetic pustules of whining babies, greedy for mommy's nipple that was so cruelly taken from them. Abused by the father who stole that nipple from them. They'll show the world, they'll destroy or malign or foul every good and honorable thing that was ever done by the people of this country in the name of our Merciful God.

You are demon driven, your icons are demon spawn your goal is hell on earth for everyone. Begone vile spirits, back to your masters and tell them that you have failed once again.

[Mrs. Peperium]

'lamenting women'? Whoa Nellie!

When do women on the Left lament the loss or destruction of their men? My word, most of the men that were on the Left - they've all been killed off- met their demise at the hands of a Leftist woman.

It is women on the Right who lament the loss of men. Rightly so too.

[Ad rem]

"gotta love those 'lamenting women' ....",

Mark, never were truer words written...;-)

[DanO]

Actually McCain told you the basic framework of what will pop tomorrow or the next day.

Here's a hint: the story was never about a nonentity named Jessie Griffin. He is just a tool, a very vain tool. Or perhaps a conduit. Or even better, a belching spillpipe of toxic rumors. But the story is not about the spillpipe...it's about the sewage factory up yonder.

[ol_dirty_/b/tard]

Mrs Peperium,

We can modify it: CRUSH THE GRYPHEN, SEE THE ZAKI DRIVEN BEFORE US, AND HEAR THE LAMENTATIONS OF THE BETA-MALES!

Dan,

Hope my donation to the old "tip jar" goes for something more exciting than the phone bill.....perhaps more batteries for the spy cam? Thanks for all you do, I just couldn't remain a "cheapo" any longer in all good conscience..;-)

[Lisa Graas]

Hackers have been giving me a hard way to go and I've had to remove malware more than once.....all while trying to keep my blog updated and run the Palin Twibe. Alas, I haven't been able to read here for far too long!!! It's been something like 24 hours since I could read here! Darn hackers. I have some catching up to do!

Dan, I hope you have good security. I think the leftists may be on the prowl. It's a possibility.

[John]

The Jesse Griffins of the world have no concept of the Scientific Method – no they and their ilk tip-toe through the tulips of everyday life throwing out statements as fact, when they have no fact to support their statements. The typical student of Jesse Griffin’s style of journalism/research can be identified through several tell tale signs: 1) they are anarchists who subscribe to outdated and disproved theories to use as a prop to prove their theory 2) they look for mysteries and the enigmas of life, 3) they appeal to myth as fact instead of validated facts, 4) shock and awe approach to evidence where any and everything is evidence regardless of validity, 5) Divine theory that is irrefutable and is not subject to question, 5) explain their theories by telling scenarios of events instead of empirical data collection, 6) analysis of text research is used to validate their assumptions by using facts or statements out of context, 7) their theories are not static, and even in the face of empirical evidence to disprove their theory, it does not change no matter what.

[DanO]

Hey John, your riff was a good one, it explains many Palin-hating bloggers, but in this case Griffin is NOT 'The Story"...McCain and Riehl have already helped Jessie Griffin reveal himself as a lyin' shmuck, but that was just a satisfying bonus. Dan Riehl isn't teasing us with "...phone lines have been burning up between Florida, Alaska, California and even Utah as a direct result of the story I uncovered, with some solid help I'll note later..." just to reveal that Griffin REALLY spends ALOT of money on porn sites, or dressing in women's clothes, or whatever. Yeah, those angles are yawners. The real story is bigger. Can't wait!

[Dan Riehl]

Hey guys, pretty toasted right now. WOrking my way through a re-write to tighten up the story. Additional facts have rolled in during the writing process today, leading to more re-writes and additions. It will be up tomorrow. As always, I'll wish it could have been more. But I feel good about what I have been able to pick up on and document. I appreciate you folks. Waned to drop down earlier and say hello. Just trying to stay focused and pound it out from collected notes, urls, etc.

Some flks have hit the tip jar today. Thank you very much for that. I did write anyonewho donated. Hope I didn't miss anyone.

Just wanted to take a breath and say hi. AS with most blog reporting today on limited resources and short on time, often it is the questions you elevate with you work, as opposed to only the factual answers. Will my story generate many questions? Oh yeah, I think it just might! ; )

Be well and thank you for your readership. That's what means the most to me out here in the end.

[SKH]

"...it is the questions you elevate with you work, as opposed to only the factual answers. Will my story generate many questions? Oh yeah, I think it just might! ; )"

Congratulations!

Welcome to Jesse Gryphen territory.

So when is Dan Riehl quitting his Journalism/Detective 101 job? (I hope there is enough money in the tip jar to background check enough names and online/email ids in the hopes of finding enough dirt.)

[Mike]

Dan the Man-you have done a great job so far-more power to you.When you are finished with Griffin how about picking the rest of the off one by one.Start with that cow on Palins deceptions and her sad coterie of frustrated bags-one blog made a start and got a rise out of her but who she is needs to be found out and what her name/background is.Then on to Shannyn (what a stupid name) divorcee.

"Some flks have hit the tip jar today. Thank you very much for that. I did write anyonewho donated. Hope I didn't miss anyone."

Thanks for your response Dan.

I'm sure others support your work for similar reasons as I do, which include, of course, Grifffin, but also goes beyond the particular circumstances of this situation.

Your work here with Stacy and others, and other things happening in the current healthcare debate, are a heartening sign to some of us conservatives that we at the grassroots are learning how we need to progress to become more effective.
