What a day...

Just a little weather today as I sit and wait to see if I'm flying over to Brookings tonight, or if I'm stuck in Pierre for the weekend.

I actually got to spend some time over at the Capitol, where I watched the Senate's proceeding today. I was attempting to do so unobtrusively until Senator's Kloucek and Gray took a moment of personal privilege, and welcomed me to the Senate gallery to mild applause, and a couple of boos. (I'll pull the sound clip later). Thanks. I think...

Although, I did catch that during a down moment as a recess was ending, Senator Bartling was reading some of the comments on my website. I complimented her later for her taste in reading.

As noted, the Senate is back tomorrow AM. Whether or not I'll be is contingent upon the weather.

Hey Pat, Rural Brookings stinks, the roads are snowed shut. You can not tell the difference from the road from the ditches. But some good famers and my son did some scouping! But then darkness came. My hope is to hit the big Brookings tomorrow!!! House bound is not so fun.
I hear getting around in Brookings is fine. O the city life.
Will have to listen to the Senate my puter was down or should i say the service was down when the wind was blowing a little heavy today.
Have a good one and a safe trip back to Brookings if you can get here.

Yeah PP, you wouldn't like Brookings, except for the fact your pregtose wife and six kids live there. Better dump the weekend warrior schtick before Sib-dilly-ding-dong lables you anti.

Kloucek's a "loser". Just read about his batting average here on PP's pages. Nothing he puts his name on is worth anything.

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
