I’m at the shadiest hostel in Anchorage (the only one with wi-fi) preparing to head to Wasilla tomorrow. I had planned this trip weeks in advance around Bishop Thomas Muthee’s appearance at the Wasilla Assembly of God. Unfortunately, the Times of London ripped off the work of Bruce Wilson to “break” the story about Muthee’s ties to Sarah Palin. Then, the story migrated to Keith Olbermann:

Michelle Goldberg recently attended Wasilla Assembly of God and was singled out by Palin’s former pastor, Ed Kalnins, as a member of the secular media. Kalnins forced her to put her reporter’s notebook away; he did the same thing to David Talbot of Salon.com, imploring his flock not to speak to the reporter in their midst. I suspect the McCain campaign has warned Kalnins off. I am going to see Muthee tomorrow but am worried that all the publicity he has garnered will create an ugly media circus. Pray for me that I may not be unceremoniously ejected before getting it all on video.
