KCCR News has a new website for up to date info on happenings in the Capitol City

By -
Tony Mangan and KCCR news have started another home in addition to what they're already doing over at OaheTv.com.

They're finally up at their own website over at http://www.todayskccr.com.

Why should you care?

Given the fact he's here in Pierre, and his access to many of the decision makers through years of being around the process, KCCR News director Tony Mangan is pretty good at knowing where some of the more interesting political tales lie.

So, on my recommendation, please, go check it out.

And, as I do so myself, I didn't think I realized that Thune was in town today as Tony's reporting:
Senator John Thune is in Pierre today. His only scheduled public appearance is a speech to the South Dakota Cattlemen’s Association, which is meeting at the Ramkota Rivercentre. Thune is scheduled to address the group starting at 1:15 this afternoon.

Knowing the news business and Tony well, I'm sure KCCR is not paying Tony nearly what he's worth to them and to the news community at large. He's a great human being and so dedicated to his craft. I wish his foray into politics had worked out better for him, but I would guess that his life is also a lot more sane working the news desk.

Tony Mangen is a real class act.

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...
