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?

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...

State Senator - Herseth emboldens the enemy

By -
On the eve of her wedding, State Senator Orv Smidt writes to the Argus Leader condemning Congresswoman Herseth for her actions on the Iraq funding bill - calling them "emboldening to the enemy:" I ask you to consider how Herseth has gotten to be such an expert that she can deny the commander-in-chief, the Defense Department, the Secretary of State and our brave soldiers the resources they need to fight and win in Iraq? Why it is OK to embolden our enemy by publishing a timetable for withdrawal? I was once a soldier in Vietnam. The actions by our political leaders of the time told me that my service to our country was not appreciated. and... Our brave soldiers in Iraq don't want to hear that either. Go read it all here . Considering (as a Brookings residnt) he's her State Senator in Pierre, this is particularly stinging.

Kranz: Dusty Johnson to jump into US House Race? Possibly......

By -
Dave Kranz got a bit of a scoop on everyone with his column in the Argus Leader today noting that Dusty Johnson is at a point where he's considering the US House Race: "It is something I am considering. Any time you have a realistic opportunity to make South Dakota better, you have to take a look," Dusty Johnson says. "The thing for me: Can you be a good congressman and a good father?" and... "I have tremendous respect for Rep. Herseth Sandlin, but this is not about her. It is tough to sit on the sidelines as we deal with security and economic issues. It would be an opportunity for me to make a difference," Johnson said. Rep. Joel Dykstra is opening the door to a possible U.S. Senate campaign regardless of what Johnson decides to do. Read it all here . Actually, I'm intrigued by this lineup. It might mean Republicans have a solid congressional field to go into the election season with. When faced with a choice of this nature, it means that the Con...
