I'm about ready to vote to barricade the borders.

Now the corn flakes at PETA are poking their nose into South Dakota's business too. From the PETA website:
Hoping that he’ll practice what he preaches in a broader context, PETA has sent a letter to South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds urging him to extend his compassion to animals by going vegetarian. Rounds established a national pro-life reputation after signing legislature to ban almost all abortions in South Dakota, challenging the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 decision to legalize abortion. PETA wants the governor to embrace a diet that shows a deep respect for all life by making the decision to stop eating eggs, the unborn offspring or deliberately unfertilized ova of hens; the flesh of veal calves, who are taken from their loving mothers shortly after birth; or other young animals who are slaughtered before they reach maturity.

and..

The Honorable Mike Rounds
Governor of South Dakota

Dear Governor Rounds:

On behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and our more than 1 million members and supporters, I am writing to respectfully ask that, as an extension of your strong pro-life stance on abortion, you consider adopting and advocating a pro-life (i.e., vegetarian) diet. By making this change and urging other South Dakotans to follow your lead, you would become a role model for ethical living and have a positive impact on both the pro-life and pro-animal causes.

and...

If you agree to give vegetarian living a try, we’ll gladly cater food for you and your family for the first two weeks to make it as easy for you as possible! As you may know, Pierre has a selection of restaurants that serve delicious vegetarian fare, including LaMinestra, St. Charles Restaurant and Lounge, Classy’s, Wonderful House, Smokee’s BBQ, and Gator’s Pizza, Pasta, and Subs. Or if you’re more of a fast-food guy, Burger King offers an excellent veggie burger and Subway serves a tasty vegetarian sandwich.
Read all of the craziness here. (What?? They don't want to serve any vegetarian meals out of the Cattlemen's Club?)

Sorry, PETAns. South Dakota is a meat ridin', meat shootin', meat eating, fur wearing state. And that's describing our mothers.

It's not South Dakota Certified Tofu- It's South Dakota Certified BEEF. That is not a by-product of anything.

(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
