Spring 2007 Dakota Political Collectors Show

By -
A couple of shady characters if I ever saw one.

Actually, it's Argus Leader Political Reporter Dave Kranz, and another gentleman whose name escapes me at the moment. They, Senator Dan Sutton, Bern Schliessman, and several others were in Sioux Falls this morning to display their politically related wares.

I think the biggest thing I'm upset about is that I missed the opportunity to get the first inaugural pin which Dave Johnson of Sioux Falls had for sale. But I did manage to trade for a couple of choice political items which I'll show you after I get back from Lowes.

I really like this stuff--wish I could have gone. Of my collection, my current favorite is the Nixon "Now More Than Ever" buttom from 1972--it is full size and quite well made. It is from the days when you could just walk into a campaign office and walk out with a spectacular button and sometimes even a poster (I've got a mint "Bobby" poster from 1968). Anyway, now to the point of this post--I recently wore the Nixon button in honor of the fact that RC incumbent Jim Shaw has co-opted the slogan.

Dave Kranz looks like hell, has he got some disease, or what?

Kranz is fine, he's just the most unphotogenic dude on the planet.

Kranz is a Braves fan. Is he wearing a Cubs cap or is that some funky Braves hat or a high school/minor league/college one?

I didn't know anything about this until the night before...

I wish I would have known about the show ahead of time, I started collecting political memorabilia a few years ago. Maybe you can advertise the next one here =|;)

(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...
