Congrats to Representative Ryan and Kim Olson

I'm told tonight that District 24 Representative Ryan Olson and his wife Kim Olson, a staffer for Governor Rounds just celebrated the birth of their first child, a daughter Olivia.

Congratulations on the new parents.

When is Ryan going to announce he's running against Gray? Or is Jeff Monroe making a comeback? I've heard a lot of "conservatives" are unhappy w/Bob.

No offense anon 7:36, but Bob can run circles around Ryan's intellect.

How about Tim Rounds challenging Bob?

2:16... I would agree that Ryan has less experience, but not less intellect. I have visited with Ryan and seen him in many different circles and he is considerate, genuinely interested, and always willing to listen and learn. Bob is a great guy- a smart guy, and I am not convinced that he is doing a bad job, but I think that Ryan Olson would be a great Senator, as well. Anyone can learn more about issues and understand politics, but not everyone is born with the gentle and earnest dispostion that Rep. Olson has, and that genuine concern and understanding can't be taught.

Congrats to Ryan and Kim- they will be great parents!

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
