CCK takes after Bob Mercer.

By -
I don't think it's the first time it's happened, but Chad over at CCK is going after Bob Mercer for a perceived Republican bias he thinks Bob has.

As I do my research on this post, I notice I covered this topic nearly a year ago. So, I'll just start calling this my annual defense of Bob Mercer post. Not that I'm in the habit of defending the media, but I never saw it in my dealings with Bob. In fact, in the past I've grumbled because he wouldn't give me the coverage I wanted, in the way I wanted, either.

So that must make him a Democratic tool.

Anyway, speaking of things Chad and I have in common besides a desire for Bob to be our media lackey, I hear we're sharing election night appearances. I'm pretty excited about it, but since it hasn't been announced yet, mum's the word. I'm sure one or both of us will break the news as soon as we can.

Stay tuned.

(And Bob, feel free to write that I have the coolest South Dakota political blog.)

When Mercer signed on to be Janklow's press secretary, I told him I understood, because the money was no doubt better than the pay for being a reporter.

Her replied that it wasn't the money; "it was the opportunity to steer journalists to the 'real stories'."

I choked back a gag and heave at that, deciding to wait and see. I am still waiting for Mercer to steer a journalist to any 'real' stories about the Janklow regime.

It is astounding that people who criticize Kranz for his "political" work in college give Mercer a free pass as a reporter even though he most recently served as a partisan flack. Get some consistency would you.

(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
