JAIL is comin. To your city. You may begin shuttering your doors now.

Tim from over at Progressive on the Prairie did a post on the No-on-E Weblog (that we're both disseminating information on) detailing some of the dates that the JAIL-4-Judges crew is setting up informational meetings across the state:

According to the "old" website for South Dakota's Judicial Accountability Initiative Law (J.A.I.L.), the J.A.I.L.ers are kicking off their "Amendment E Voter Education Campaign" this weekend. According to the site, a "town hall meeting/debate" will be held at the Gregory Memorial Auditorium starting at 1:00 p.m.

Similar functions are also currently scheduled for Brandon, May 13; Mobridge, May 20; Hot Springs: June 3; and, Brookings; June 10.
June 10th in Brookings. Now that looks like it actually has the potential to fit my schedule. I'll have to pencil that one in, unless they hold one in Pierre first.

Now here's a stupid question that comes to mind - If the AmendmentE.com website is supposed to be the authoritative website on amendment E, then why is the supposedly old and inactive website of southdakotajudicialaccountability.com doing the announcing on all of this? It makes little sense...

Oh... Sorry. I forgot. Nothing connected with Amendment E makes any sense.

The most interesting part of the May 6th meeting will be watching the chairs to see in the invited persons with their names on the chairs will be filled. It is their opportunity to dabate this! No shows will tell the voters the story.

Yeah... that will be the interesting part. Billy Steg ingores one invite, doesn't answer questions at another. He's running. He's hiding.

He's an idiot that dumped more than a hundgred grand of his own money into this insane idea.

oh yeah, anon 11:19. Let's hold it in Gregory as opposed to a city where the media (and people) are.

Sounds like a media ploy. Where's the next series or meetings going to start? Akaska?

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
