The Finding

Troopergate:  The Report.  (ETA:  this is the New York Times article.  The actual report is available as a 263-page .pdf.  Because source is important.)

(Why yes, "report" is "trooper" in reverse, without that pesky extra o.)
“Such impermissible and repeated contacts,” the report states, “create conflicts of interests for subordinate employees who must choose to either please a superior or run the risk of facing that superior’s displeasure and the possible consequences of that displeasure.” The report concludes that the action was a violation of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.
What now lies ahead is not fully known at this point. Ms. Palin could be censured by the Legislature, but that is unlikely.
On a note as unrelated as possible, how many versions of "Little Wing" are there?
