Storm Clouds on the Horizon for a former GOP legislator

By -
From the chatter among politicos both Republican and Democrat, it sounds like there's going to be a bomb dropped on a former GOP legislator in coming days. Possibly as soon as tomorrow. And it's not a small bomb, either. Think atomic weapon.

Apparently a stringer for the Argus whom we all know has been making contacts and trying to get comments for the story she's working on regarding the topic.

And the details coming out on the matter are nothing short of bizarre.

it will be interesting to see if the Democrats who called for restraint in the Sutton matter - which this somewhat parallels - will be making similar calls in this instance.

As a Republican, a father, and just as a plain human being, I hope there isn't a smack of truth to the allegations. But as the storm clouds start to gather, it isn't looking good.

And no, I'm not going to allow comments on this topic. We can all wait for when it comes out. If half of what I'm hearing from political types comes out in relation to the matter, you'll understand why. You wouldn't want to touch this one with a ten-foot pole, either.

As for now, go hug your kids and tell them you love them. Because when it comes out, you'll be glad you did.

(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
