Just a quick post on the Brookings County Lincoln Day Dinner

By -
I just got back from the Brookings County Lincoln Day Dinner, and wanted to do a couple of quick posts before I went to bed. I'm heading back to Pierre in the AM, and I'll get to a more thorough report tomorrow afternoon.

Otherwise, here's master of ceremonies Ryan Brunner as he introduces a guest.

The hit of the evening for me? Check out this business card size campaign card by Mary Nosbush. While it breaks a lot of rules about campaign pieces I've internalized over the years - DAMN, is this a good looking piece.

Printed on a double sided glossy coated card stock, it's harder to read here than it actually is, this is first class all the way. I think I like it so much because it is "outside of the box." The message isn't cluttered and it isn't trying to tell all.

It's basically name, office, and her slogan that she's a conservative voice. Maybe it's not so outside of the box after all, but it does it effectively, and in a way that's a different flavor from what we're used to seeing.

I'm told that her Daughter designed it, and is also working on some other campaign items for her. (I can't wait to see them)

More on the dinner tomorrow.

Hopefully they'll work for her, and she'll send Street down the alley.

Yeah, just what we need out in Pierre, another conservative vote. Why not stick with a moderate like Street?

Nice of Ryan Brunner to act as MC as this event given the shabby treatment Joint Appropriations gave him...

Don't you mean a liberal like Street? I don't think he's nice at all, the way he ridiculed conservatives and their bills in his weekly newspaper article. I think his voting record stinks!

Street is not a moderate at all. His voting record shows that he voted against the abortion ban. He also voted against the Constitutional Amendment to define marriage as "one man/one woman." The marriage amendment in particular, is a defining issue of our times. It transcends all religions, all cultures, all periods in history. Need I say anymore?

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
