Denise Ross over at Mt. Blogmore attended the Democracy in Action rally in Rapid City's Memorial Park and has an extensive post on it with pictures.

(Hopefully she won't mind I grabbed a couple of them with appropriate credit and links back)

I had to post the one on one of my favorite former legislators, Kay Jorgenson. Yes, Kay and I are probably on the opposite sides of a few issues, but I have to show the love and give props to a fellow auctioneer. (Take that anonymous posters who try to place me in a category). I haven't spoken with her for a year or so now, but I always found her to be warm and enjoyable. Like me, she was enlisted as auction labor for her parent's Auction company, and ended up at auctioneer school.

Speaking of Legislators, Senator Stan Adelstein joined the people at the rally supporting the defeat of HB 1215 and the defeat of the South Dakota definition of marriage amendment.

INTERESTING NEWS I've been getting ever since my big post on the Stan Adelstein PAC shuffle. (I do a big post every once in a while, and then phone it in for a few weeks until I get a wild hair for another one).

I'm being told that the news of who got what is spreading like wildfire - especially the money he funneled into the People PAC being run by Jan Nicolay. I had someone comment tonight that the election in Watertown was rather boring until the news on "PACaSTAN" (I love that buzzword. It's hilarious.) . Now it might be a last minute issue that hurts the recipients.

And before some people get whipped into an unruly frenzy, let it be said that what he's doing is completely legal with shifting money between PACS to candidates. The question that we all need to ask and judge for ourselves - Do we think it's right? And that question is best left up to the voters.

What most of us think is that "The Last Caucus" gang (inside joke; you have to have been watching closely over the past few months) crossed the line with 1215. Adelstein is not a good legislator, but whatever he does to unelect folks like Greenfield, Hunt, et. al. is fine with me.

Hasn't anyone told Stan that the skunk stripe in his beard looks like a skunk stripe? Either get rid of the beard or color the hair.

Anyone that takes money from the Stan "Skunk" will come out smelling like a skunk. Noem, Nelson Holbeck and Konold will carry skunk smell for a long time and not to be forgotten! My vote will be, Stormo for the House and Greenfield for Senate. Refuse to cast a vote for Noem or Nelson.

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
