New additions to the feed digest
It's a mad mad world

Since they were nice enough to post the list in a collective space, I added several of the SDRadical weblogs to my RSS Feed Aggregator in the right hand column for viewing.

When it's behaving. In Firefox, there's hardly ever a problem. It's just in IE that it goes funky and kicks it to the bottom of the page whenever Epp or someone uses an extra long URL in the first sentence of their post.

Anyway, as I noted, I'm adding several of the SDRadical blogs, since they tend to be political. You'll also notice that - to put it lightly - their views can tend to be a bit fringy. High Plains Drifter (previously tokola resistance) was listed before. What have I added? As follows:
Vermillion Community for Peace and Justice
"Vermillion's Direct Action Community Support Group." News and updates from the rowdiest bunch of activists on the USD campus and across Vermillion. Vermillion Community for Peace and Justice

Progressive Vermillion
"Coordinating and networking all of Vermillion's progressive organizations and individuals!" This is the place to go for information on events hosted by Vermillion's vast progressive activist community, including: Amnesty International USD; Coffeeloft.org; Tiospaye Student Council; Community for Peace and Justice; U. Vox Voices for Planned Parenthood; many more! Also, news, events calendar and more! Progressive Vermillion
I did leave off South Dakota Wal-Mart Watch and Students for a Sensible Drug Policy. You can check out what they have to say on your own, but they seem to be mainly regurgitating national news stories. I debated on the Truth Seekers blog, since they are about as on the fringe as you can get, and I had them in. But as I wrote this, if I use the same standards as to kick off the other two, then I can't justify keeping it.

Why do all of these conspiracy minded and radical websites seem to come out of USD? I have no idea.

USD was ok for my grad school experience, but things are getting a little strange down there. (Must be lack of D1 status).

(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...
