Mythical creatures in today's RCJ

Headline in today's Rapid City Journal:

Tech stomps Bigfoot rumor
The South Dakota School of Mines & Technology does not have Bigfoot. And the Rapid City school issued a news release last week to emphasize the point. “I’ve done some checking, and we have no Bigfoot,” Breanna Bishop, Tech’s public-information coordinator, said.

Rumors have circulated on the Internet that the elusive creature known as Bigfoot was killed on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and then was taken to the Rapid City school for further inspection.
In a related stories today, the Rapid City Journal also quashed rumors of the existence of the easter bunny, the chupacabra, and a full slate of Democratic Constitutional Candidates.

Some things are just too incredible to believe in.

I hope GF&P wasn't called in to verify Big Foot's existence. They can't tell a mountain lion from a Great Pyrenees or a wolf from a German Shepherd.

I believe they have a big foot museum at the U of Idaho in Pacatello ID, maybe someone should give them a call and follow up. See the following website.

(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
