Bill Harlan goes to the dedication

By -
On Mt Blogmore tonight, Bill Harlan announced he is starting a travel blog for the Vietnam War Memorial dedication.

I'm pretty jealous, because I'm involved in the dedication, and I can't do it myself. I'm working.

Regardless, make a point to go check out the post and watch for dedication information. This is going to be a phenomenal event. The town in buzzing, and people are already arriving in droves - and it doesn't get started until tomorrow.

As for after the event? I might even be pursuaded to give up a photo or two myself.

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...

Is this a list of who's in and who's out on the impending abortion bill

By -
Here's a hot one - Republican District 6 Representative Kristi Noem sent out an e-mail plea yesterday to people in her District.

There was an impromptu meeting today of all legislators in the House who have taken a strong pro-life position. One of our house members is considering filing a bill that would ban abortions in the state with exceptions for rape, incest, and for the health of the mother. These are the issues that most people had objections to during the initiative vote on November 7th when the Vote yes for life campaign lost its battle. There was some dissention among the group that some did not want the bill to be filed unless we coul...
