The Argus Leader Needs YOU!
Pajamas optional

By -
From the 7/20 Argus Leader. If you haven't signed up yet, you need to do this tonight. We need good Republicans on that board in addition to the good Democrats there too:

Published: 07/20/05

We're looking for three to four dozen people from across South Dakota to become members of the 2005-06 Dakota Comment panel.

The requirements are simple. Each week you'll be e-mailed a question or issue. You e-mail back a response. Responses of five or so panelists will be published in the Argus Leader on Sundays, while all the responses will be posted on the Argus Leader Web site.

There are no specific requirements for panel members. We're looking for a broad cross-section of South Dakota - geography, race, gender, age, occupation, educational background and political views.

To apply, send:

A brief biography of yourself, to include - name, age, address, telephone number, e-mail address, occupation, educational background, political views or affiliation (conservative, liberal, etc.).

  • A brief statement of why you'd like to be a member of the panel and what you believe you could contribute.

  • A photo of yourself, digital or hard copy. You must have a photo.

    Send to: Chuck Baldwin, Editorial Page Editor, Argus Leader, P.O. Box 5034, Sioux Falls, SD 57117-5034; or e-mail to cbaldwin@argusleader.com.

    For more information, contact Chuck Baldwin at (605) 331-2326 or by e-mail at cbaldwin@argusleader.com.

    Deadline for applications is Friday, Aug. 12.
    • I suspect you'll do better if you don't send one of yourself blogging in pajamas.

    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...
