It's beginning to look a lot like session..

By -
Sometimes there are days when you can tell the legislature is in session. Big TV trucks, and gatherings of people with signs.

I caught this on the way home for Lunch today. A small group had gathered to thank the heroes of 1215.

Now, if the rest of us could figure out which side they were thanking..

Obviously by the fact they are clean-cut, well-dressed, and have children included, it isn't the NARAL brigade.

Yes, with $510,000 of cash coming in to the Vote Yes campaign coffers spent on "Consulting" "Salaries" and "Research" to parties unnamed, I'll bet Hunt and crew were heros to those who got to pocket this.

I think Roger Hunt was used and discarded and not paid a dime for his work.

I heard Patrick Davis from the Republican National Committee and former executive director of the South Dakota Republican party was the big prize winner of the consultants. I wonder if he took home large checks for his “consulting” and “research".

Yeah, and Davis did a lousy job on top of that.

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.
