Am I callous if I think it sounds stupid?

At KSFY, it's being reported that the new owner of the old Governor's Mansion has put up a website asking people what he should do with it.
Governor's Mansion - A Rapid City dentist, Leon Brodie, plans to renovate the former governor's mansion, but he's not quite sure what it should be. So, he's set up a web site to take public suggestions until the end of the month.
According to the website:

The current owner , who has recently purchased the home, would like to know your thoughts on what should be done with the old governor's mansion.
One person with too much time on their hands noted:
"I think it should be a restaurant. It could be a theme restaurant and you could find out the favorite meals of all the past Governor's that lived in it and call those dish's but that Governor's name. Part of it could also be a bed and breakfast with each room dedicated to the past Governor's. "

Tally S.
Oh come on. It's a house. "Part of it could also be a bed and breakfast with each room dedicated to the past Governor's?" Yes, here you're walking through the leaky room under the upstairs bath. Right next to you, you see the shocking light fixture where Governor Janklow would nearly be electrocuted whenever he's try to turn on the light.

Compared to most modern houses, it's not that terribly big. Yes, it has historical consideration, but so do the two or three other houses in Pierre (not including the current one) that served as Governor's Residences.

Now we've got a web site for this one? Definitely time to go to bed.

(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...
