Rounds giving his thank you speech right now.

By -
I'm posting this as the Governor is giving his acceptance/thank you speech - great stuff.

He thanked Billion and noted that he spoke with him tonight, and the two agree that they started the campaign as friends, and they've ended it as friends.

Got to get back to listening.

Pat,

If you or anyone in Pierre at the Convention see Larry Long tonight, I have a message for him:

A friend of mine from South Dakota called and said if they ever got cancer, they would smoke a joint in Mr. Long's front yard. His opposition to the medical marijuana law disgusts my friend.

Please let him know this.

Answer this anonymous:

If you get cancer, do you care if you lose a few brain cells?

Let me answer it for you: No.

Pat, please tell Larry what my friend said. He must feel proud tonight.

Pretty close though, eh? I reckon medical marijuana will be back next time. Hard to imagine it not passing at some point, no?

medical marijuana....BS. if that measure had been drafted for cancer victims, it would have passed by a landslide.

but the BC Bud Boys wanted to be able to light up while driving over to pizza hut. "DUDE, my knee is acting up again, fire up that pipe."

Not on my highway, thanks just the same.

get a clue, eddie and newland, redraft that thing so that it really is strictly limited to cancer, and not just "chronic pain..." and it will pass. Chronic pain? i get that every time i work out at the gym.

First Lady a Walmart Shopper?

At the risk of sounding like Joan Rivers what was up with the low class outfit the Governor's wife wore to the Victory celebration the other night. Did she forget she is the first lady and a dress may have been more appropriate?

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
