SDDP and SDGOP updates

By -
A couple of updates over the lunch hour:

Hot off the press, apparently the SDGOP is postponing it's central committee meeting in Huron on Saturday. The report I was given was they there was a concern that the meeting notice might not have been adequate, and that the meeting was going to be postponed until the end of September or shortly thereafter.

Delaying it isn't bad. Good job to the party leaders for allowing more time for discussion. And I do know that those people (like me) who are against the bylaw change aren't going to be easily swayed. A couple of days ago, I had a nice note from one of the highest ranking GOP Party officials (who is also against it) that an effort to get rid of the precinct committeepeople from convention had been tried once before, and it went down in flames that time too.

That person's rationale why the change was a terrible thing? They wrote to me and noted the following:
I might comment that I was one of those precinct people that got further involved in the party by attending a state convention. This is a big point. How do precinct people get a taste of the state party unless it is by attending a state convention? Many county precinct people go on to become their state committee men and women or the county chairman.
I couldn't have said it better myself.

Regarding the SDDP, I see the art auction is off and running. Bidding started at $50, with an unknown reserve amount. As of this writing, there is one bid, with 9 days left.

The first bidder just happens to go by the eBay handle "Psaurian." Now, where have we heard this before? Oh yeah. It would be the unique title of SDDP Press Secretary Donald Carr's novel and rock opera.

Honestly, IF it is him (and I'm not saying that it is, because I don't know), and he wants it for himself, I can't say I blame him. As a fellow collector, I was looking at it myself. But if it is a SDDP employee bidding on an item being offered by the SDDP, I'm not sure that it's completely kosher with eBay's rules.

That's the rotten thing about being a staffer at times. Sometimes you have to step back and miss out on cool stuff.

The possessive form for "it" is "its".

"It's" means "it is".

You're very correct.

That's what you get while trying to type and eat lunch. Poor proofreading.

A note from Benedict Ar... Sorry. A note from Stan Adelstein why he thinks you should vote Democrat this year.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on
