10 AM Convention update - Clearly, I was outdone.

By -
I found out last night that despite my best efforts at shameless self promotion through my SDWC t-shirts, one of the candidates outdid me. Yes, I was out promoted.

Dan Lederman from Union County had asked if I minded if he made a few t-shirts also promoting the SDWC. Of course, I said "absolutely. Please go ahead." And he came up with the WWPPD shirt styled after the What Would Jesus Drive... er, Do... bracelets and shirts.

As you can see from State Senator Lee Schoenbeck who is wearing this up on the head table this morning, they're great. They're absolutely hilarious.


Suprisingly to me, there are a lot of people around who get the joke. (Okay, MP, NOW will you believe there are more that 13 people who read this?)

As mentioned, Tim Rounds apparently withdrew his candidacy this morning at the Constitutional Candidate breakfast this AM. One of the constitutional officers said it was a really good speech. I, on the other hand, was at econofoods buying bananas and donuts for my horde of hungry children, so I missed the immediate scoop. But, I can certainly pass it on.

Right now the constitutional officers are starting up their acceptance speeches, so I'm going to pay attention and quit blogging for the moment.

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
