Dang! That must have been some fast lobbying between the tech schools and Pierre.

I am not going to name names, but when I was in the Legislature, I was aware of a particular lobbyist who got 2 speeding tickets on the same trip home on Highway 34. This was about the same time as the Black Hills Stock Show which is about the only time you'd see that kind of presence of the SDHP on that highway.

HA, Mitch, that's priceless.

About 1978 (don't quote me) or so, there was a bill in to do away with the old point system: ie: you got points for each type of offense and, after so many points, you lost your license.

The Senate started with one member saying he "knew a guy" with too many and it just went downhill from there. After one member got up and said "having picked up three points just this morning . . ", Lowell Hanson recognized the next speaker saying "Senator _______: the confessional is still open"

Brought the house down.

I got a $93 ticket for doing 75. $150 must mean he was going a little faster than that.

(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...
