Wow. This has been an interesting evening.

Okaaayyy.

This has been an interesting evening. My phone has been ringing off of the hook after that last story on the accusation of a Senator committing a violation of Senate rules.

And even worse than that, I had an reader honor my request and (very anonymously) send me the Garry Moore letter. And frankly, now that I see the allegation alluded to in writing, I kind of wish I could "unsee" it. Why? Because this story is going to blow wide open.

You can tell from the letter that the Senator is UNhappy with his fellow caucus member. Aside from the seriousness of the allegation, it seems like he's doubly mad from finding out about it from someone other than the legislator himself.

Okay. Without disclosing the Legislator and the allegations, I will provide this much:

I'm going to sit on the rest for a while. I need to run that by a couple of respected opinions before I lay it all out there.

I will open up comments here. Only so long as you A.) keep it civil., and B.) don't name names or allegations please. Or I will shut comments down.

I may even do it while I have to leave it unattended while I sleep.

Ugh. this is not a fun topic to post on.

And while I'm at it, if anyone does have the Schoenbeck letter I'm still looking for that one. E-mail it to me here.

I think this is what experts refer to as a "tease."

It seems that given the apparent gravity of this allegation (and your response to it) that it would be in the best interest of the voters and your readers to be direct and open.

If this situation has involved a discussion among the political leaders of the state, the voters of the state also have an interest in the matter. It has traveled beyond the rumor mill.

I can't imagine why the media in this state hasn't reported on this issue if there is hardcopy validation. With letter in hand, I hope that you'll have the courage to publish the truth.

Anon 2, that's all well and good for you to say.

Especially as you post anonynmously.

I'm shutting comments on this post down (already) and sleeping on it.

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
