Is somebody actually taking this with any seriousness at all?

You have got to be kidding me. And not just a little. According to the Argus' website tonight, Elijah Page wants a guitar:
Elijah Page, whose execution was abruptly halted last month by Gov. Mike Rounds, now wants to learn how to play the guitar.

“He wants to learn, just to give him something to do for the next 10 months,” said Pam Guettler, the mother of Page’s girlfriend.

“With the guitar, I hold a glimmer of hope he may change his mind,” Guettler said of his earlier decision to drop all appeals in his case.

Guettler said she’s been discussing the issue with corrections officials and trying to find a way to get Page a Fender guitar.
Read it here. And not just a guitar, but a fender guitar?

Instead of a guitar, I think they should install a speaker that plays the 1980's hit "Wake me up, before you go-go." And it can play that one song, non-stop until his execution.

That would seem more fitting than giving him a guitar.

Wow. Just when you thought that couldn't get any weirder.

A guitar says Elijah Page press secretary Pam Guettler. Wow. FOr hundreds of years the whole world has really had this whole criminal justice thing screwed up.

Has anybody noticed how the whole death penalty debate completely went silent about 48 hours after the gov called "time out?" The issue must either be completely solved or maybe people only get wound up about it on the day of planned executions.

How about the Beck hit that says, "I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me"?

Hmmmm. I'd be curious how many other convicted murderers 1) have girlfriends, and 2) have girlfriends whose mothers are seeking to make murderers lives more enjoyable.

Those two women need to have their heads examined.

(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
