The final post in a flurry of posting madness. Another Legislator bites the dust

Dave Kranz reports in today’s Argus Leader that yet another legislator isn’t going to run again:
Court vacancies

Those Circuit Court judicial vacancies are bringing some interesting situations.

That's now the case in the Third Circuit Court Slot B, where three lawyers seek to replace Judge Rodney Steele, who is not seeking re-election.

Ron Aho, a Brookings lawyer, already has filed for the bench. Vince Foley of Watertown, second-term Codington County state's attorney, said Monday that he will run. So will state Rep. Sean O'Brien of Brookings, also a lawyer in that community. O'Brien will not seek re-election to a third legislative term.

Sean started out OK, but the last couple years he's voted like a liberal dufus, and brought Tiedemann along with him. Good riddance.

I think of Sean as an enlightened conservative. In other words, he understands we're now in the 21st Century, not the 1800s.

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.
