I had posted about this event earlier, but a new "revised" fax has gone out in the beltway with a list of who is going to be there to raise money for Senator Johnson's re-election.

I'm tired of this bullshit that keeps getting pushed. If being in the military makes a person more qualified for office (a bizarre idea), then does it also not make a person more qualified for anything?

If you're ready to lay your life on the line for the Country, you're just the kind of person we need to sell term life insurance!

Considering that anyone with four distal pulses can get into the military, I see that about as demanding as pouring piss out of a boot. It's not like you get to just QUIT the military once you're in.

I've met some extremely stupid military personnel that I hope were never given anything more deadly than a shovel. The ratio of stupid to not stupid is, in fact, slightly higher in the military.

There's plenty of qualified people in the general public, just as in the military. There's no special gift that doing as your told for four years gives you.

Precisely.

Here's my favorite military quote from my grandfather (who was there, as a U.S. Army Captain in France under Patton in WWII.)

Hep 2,3,4,
Hep 2,3,4,
Hep 2,3,4,
Finger in yer butt...
Change fingers!
Hep 2,3,4,
Hep 2,3,4,

Does anyone think Johnson's going to run in '08? He's stalling, clinging to power for his party and to give Stephanie a chance. Rounds better step up to the plate and take this seat. It will not sit well with me if it takes us twenty years to get rid of Herseth like Daschle. I hope we haven't forgotten how great it felt in '04.
I don't want that to be my last thought of Rounds.

If Tim Johnson has improved to 90% like Harry Reid said or to 100% like Rick Hauffe said (Argus Leader yesterday), Tim Johnson should be able to give a press conference this week!

Care to bet he doesn't? And if he doesn't it puts the lie to both Reid and Hauffe's words.

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...

State Senator - Herseth emboldens the enemy

By -
On the eve of her wedding, State Senator Orv Smidt writes to the Argus Leader condemning Congresswoman Herseth for her actions on the Iraq funding bill - calling them "emboldening to the enemy:" I ask you to consider how Herseth has gotten to be such an expert that she can deny the commander-in-chief, the Defense Department, the Secretary of State and our brave soldiers the resources they need to fight and win in Iraq? Why it is OK to embolden our enemy by publishing a timetable for withdrawal? I was once a soldier in Vietnam. The actions by our political leaders of the time told me that my service to our country was not appreciated. and... Our brave soldiers in Iraq don't want to hear that either. Go read it all here . Considering (as a Brookings residnt) he's her State Senator in Pierre, this is particularly stinging.

District 3 House candidate and Blogger David Newquist gives a lesson: What to say in SD when you don't want to be elected.

Hat tip to CCK and SDP : Northern Valley Beacon blog author Dave Newquist is no stranger to saying controversial things on his blog. But as SDP points out, this comment from him on CCK's blog is particularly worthy of notice since he's a candidate for the legislature: David Newquist, Democratic candidate for the state legislature, questions whether the American flag is even worth saluting anymore : A flag is a symbol. It symbolizes our history, our aspirations, our values. Of course it is upsetting to see someone desecrate our national symbol. But the Bush administration would like to get the nation in a raging furor, while it quietly erodes, undermines, and desecrates our Constitutional rights and protections. When the New York Times published a story on tapping into international financial transactions, the Bushites railed that the newspaper was endangering the nation and that the 3,000 people killed during 9/11 were being violated. Of course, they never mention the 2...
