South Dakota War College Video Blog Post #1
A few minutes with PUC Commissioner Dusty Johnson

By -

Not just a sneak peek promo anymore, SDWC-VB #1 is an interview with our newest Public Utilities Commissioner, Dusty Johnson. You'll hear his views on up-and-comers in politics, who he thinks might be running for Governor in 2010, his influences, the GOP big tent, bloggers and more.

Click on Dusty's picture for the interview (Reduce the window size for better clarity). I'll warn you right now that it's a 16 megabyte file.

You even get to see me live in the flesh.

Dusty seems like a smart, articulate young man. He also seems like a partisan hack who would stab you in the back if he thought it would get him 25 more votes when he runs for governor.

Anonymous,
I know Dusty a bit, and have never heard anyone, anywhere say that he is anything but a nice guy. No backstabbing stories at all. I think your spidey sense is off on this one.

Why is it that we always assume everyone interested in public service is secretly a bozo waiting to seize power and punish their enemies? You know, nice people do get involved from time to time. By all accounts, Dusty is one of those people.

(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...
