You know J.A.I.L. is bad when it makes this happen
Judy Olson and Randy Frederick join forces

From a press advisory sent out this evening by the South Dakota Republican Party:
Republican and Democratic Party Chairs
to Hold Joint J.A.I.L Press Conference

PIERRE, SD - South Dakota Republican Party Chairman Randy Frederick and South Dakota Democratic Party Chairwoman Judy Olson Duhamel announce a joint press conference discussing the J.A.I.L. ballot initiative. The press conference is scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, February 1, to be 'tentatively' held in the State Capitol in room 412 at noon CST.

Contact SDDP Press Secretary Donald Carr at 224-1750 and/or SDRP Executive Director Max Wetz at 224-7347 for more information.
Afterwards, Randy and Judy will cast smouldering looks at each other.

The Judicial Accountability Act, which I've said was scary legislation all along, is really picking up steam as the measure to pound into the dirt. With the State Bar coming out against it, and now I'm guessing the GOP and DEM's are jointly agreeing to call it bad legislation that shouldn't be passed, it leaves one question to be answered.

If it's this bad how did it get on the ballot in the first place?

Oh yes, I recall now. It was paid petition circulators. Just keep that in mind this legislatiuve session.

smoulder v. 1. To burn with little smoke and no flame. 2. To exist in a suppressed state. 3. To manifest repressed anger or hatred.

OK, which is it? A smouldering stare as in def. #2 much like Hepburn and Tracy or def. #3.

I just hope it isn't def #1. That could get dangerous if the wind picks up. Imagine the headlines "Party leaders explode into flames, Capitol evacuated"

Probably #2. How could Judy resist his animal husbandry magnetism.

Both chairmen should get out and do their job of recruiting instead of hanging around the capitol attacking an amendment which will fail of its own volition.

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
