What's hot at the SDWC on September 5th?
I'm rushing, trying to hammer out a quick post over the noon hour, and the blogger software isn't complying very well. I think I face this dilemma most noons, and it's a killer. And that's with two drugs, not three.
Bad jokes aside, what's happening since this weekend?
Bob Mercer is penning his weekly column which runs in many of the daily papers telling legislators, in effect, that if they want to find some money, they might consider dismantling the PUC. I'll try to get the article and comment on it more in depth tonight.
As State Senator Ed Olson leaves the helm of the MAINstream coalition, he's spending some time trying to make amends to other Republican legislators for comments he made in last week's Aberdeen American News which appeared here. I believe it's the comment attributed to him noting:
And I'm starting the SDWC's advertising push in a few venues after the SD Newspaper association rejected my ad several weeks back in their statewide classifieds. Why was I denied? Because the SDNA called my ad political advertising.
But.. but.. It's a political website - I'm not running for anything.. Unfortunately, logic was lost on them.

Now, Olson said, middle-of-the-road politicians need to do the same with their supporters. If that doesn't happen, he said, "extremists" will continue to control the party.As was put by a member of leadership to one of the other few founding Senators who remain "which extremist leaders controlling the party is he referring to?" Oops. That one isn't going to bode well when committee assignments are made. So, mea culpas were issued by Ed in a letter to other Republican Legislators stating in part:
The article quoted me as saying that "extremists" brought many different bills to the last legislative session. I deeply regret this and apologize for having it attributed to me. Although I certainly have had "names" thrown in my direction. it is totally inappropriate for me to respond in kind.And it continues with Ed noting how it's important for legislators to work together. Hopefully this and the removal of Stan Adelstein who called for the ouster of his fellow caucus members during a pro-choice rally will start to rebuild the GOP Senate caucus.

Comments
Off topic, so you aren't finding it here anymore. I'm sure at some point I'll do a post on the Russell/Fuller race. At that time it would be more appropriate to exhibit your boner for Lance.
or he'll delete your comment
under the guise of it being "off-topic"
If he started deleting everything that was off-topic
he'd be pretty busy
But he'll do it for his friend
without hesitation
And he wonders...
why we call him a hack
I will delete off-topic stuff in order to retain a semblance of order. (Remember, I control the horizontal, I control the vertical.)
Unless you'd rather I require registration or pre-approval for comments?
You are right!
Liberals have no voice unless they look to the republican leadership. Rounds has taken a stand against global warming at the western governors confrence in California. A Dem. hiding behind a R- Label! Wow! Makes a Republican proud!
Lighten up. I don't think calling PP a "hack" is fair. He generally does not write any of the material, just rehashes what he has spent his morning dilligently clipping from newspapers.
Lap dog is a much better description. :-)
