No. It's ok. She's my second cousin

I was just starting to do some research on the Secretary of State's website for something I'm working on, and I noticed a couple of things.

First off - They have a motto now. Maybe I just missed it before, but I'm noticing tonight.
Click on the image below, and you can read the motto that has been added which notes:


"Rising above your expectation with excellent customer service through friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive personal assistance."

But that didn't grab me as much as the next thing I came across as I was looking up some voter registration statistics. For some odd reason, they have a degree of kinship chart here.

I think this is a more recent addition. I'm assuming it's so people can look at the chart and figure out if they're allowed unlimited donations or exempt from other campaign finance laws based on their "degree of relativity." That's got to be it.

Or else it's for purposes which are going to open up a whole slew of Fort Pierre jokes on my part.

Shouldn't every state agency have the motto "Making South Dakota... Even Better!"?

Some state agency's motto should be "Working together to be more like an eagle and less like an oyster."

Hey, that's the motto from the Mustang Ranch! Just got torn down, so they won't be needing the motto anymore.

Secretary of state's actual motto is from the mustang ranch - not the eagle/oyster one, which was rejected by the mustang ranch.

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
