Didn't the Argus Leader start a editorial blog feature?

By -
A little while back, I had written on the Argus introducing a editorial re-write feature. While it was tried in the LA times and failed, the Argus was going to give it a go in South Dakota.

In the twenty days since it was introduced, how many weekly editorials have they posted to be re-written? 1. That's 1 as in one; uno; single. And this supposedly weekly feature was going to be a way for readers to interact. And so far, two people have replied. One the day of the post. One the day after.

I have the feeling this thing is going to fizzle from inattentiveness as their 2004 attempt at a political blog did.

Just a hint; Guys, it's not enough to regurgitate material from your paper edition. You need fresh content and it needs to be constantly updated. You need to pay attention to it and nurture it.

And you need to be wearing pajamas while you do it. I know I am.

Wearing pajamas! Do they have feet on them, or did your Mom have to cut those off?

A real red blooded American man would be sitting at his computer in his underwear scratching his package through the various rips and tears.

Pajamas? We don't need no stinking pajamas.

I like my pajamas, and so does my wife. In fact, she's bought some for me.

(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
