My godhood for a day

By -
If you hadn't noted it yet, I selected my topic over at Mt. Blogmore for my Mt. Blogmore godhood for a day. Go check it out.

blogmore? blogmore? What the hell is wrong with you, pp? blogmore is the base camp for the Leftist Insurgent Associate Regiment (LIAR)!

being chosen "blogmore god of the day" is like getting your Communist Party card in the mail--I wouldn't be bragging to everyone about it!

I agree about Blogmore's annoying leftist/elitist leanings, but maybe having PP aboard, at least for a moment, will help. Except his choice of topic (yawn) isn't going to further the cause. Oh well.

Oh, do you mean Mt. Blogmore, where people actually know how to think and write for themselves without using right wing extremist buzzwords and platitudes and additionally aren't afraid to use their real names because they're not beholden to jackbooted tyrannical party leaders who make them march in lockstep?

Mr. boiled owl, it is much better than the left-wing, liberal biased Argus, that actually claims to be an unbiased source of reporting for our state and region. At least PP doesn't hide this conservative alligience...

Anon. 5:09. I agree.

People should be open about their biases.
That leads to better communication, to the degree either party is actually open to communicating.

Head over to Blogmore if you want to have an intelligent conversation. Idiots are quickly exposed there. I hope PP continues to post at Blogmore, he would be a welcome addition with a conservative point of view. If you want hand wringing, head nodding, and regurgation of the talking points go somewhere else.

I have posted in a few forums and several blogs. Mt. Blogmore is one of the most interesting. Mt. Blogmore has an interesting mixture of posts libertarian, leftist, theocratic, rightist, progressive, and a few boneheaded posts which as Nick Nemec has indicated are usually shredded.

It also has some direction (now and then too much) from professional reporters who do a pretty good job of herding cats even if it seems to delay posting significantly which seems to be one of the few valid criticisms of Blogmore.

Napoli's attack on Blogmore is offbase. He stuck his foot in his mouth and posting on Blogmore did not help him extract it.

Blogmore was a VERY conservative, reactionary blog when it started. It is a lot more interesting with multiple viewpoints...as is DWC and even my own blog.

Stay tuned. SD has a pretty good collection of blogs.

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...

State Senator - Herseth emboldens the enemy

By -
On the eve of her wedding, State Senator Orv Smidt writes to the Argus Leader condemning Congresswoman Herseth for her actions on the Iraq funding bill - calling them "emboldening to the enemy:" I ask you to consider how Herseth has gotten to be such an expert that she can deny the commander-in-chief, the Defense Department, the Secretary of State and our brave soldiers the resources they need to fight and win in Iraq? Why it is OK to embolden our enemy by publishing a timetable for withdrawal? I was once a soldier in Vietnam. The actions by our political leaders of the time told me that my service to our country was not appreciated. and... Our brave soldiers in Iraq don't want to hear that either. Go read it all here . Considering (as a Brookings residnt) he's her State Senator in Pierre, this is particularly stinging.

Giebink for House.
Otherwise known as "What not to do in a fundraising letter."

(Click on picture to enlarge) This fundraising letter is making the rounds across South Dakota. This one is from Sioux Falls, but I've also seen a few people in Pierre who have gotten it (an attorney or two). I've got to say that without a doubt this is one of the worst fundraising letters I've run across this year. It's not just that it says "Dear friends." Bleaugh. It's not just that it doesn't ask for an amount and you can barely tell that it's a fundraising letter. It's an entire letter of poison prose. Here's the basic structure of the letter - you tell me if you'd send her some money on the basis of it's content: Introduction Complain Complain Complain Vote for me Oh, there's also an envelope enclosed for some vague purpose. Boy, that one just makes me want to get out the checkbook. I've said before that "you need to show the need and make the pitch." In this letter, there's no illustrating why we shoul...
