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...

Everyone deserves some level of privacy.
But what really gets me is that you would allow someone to post a hateful note about the guy's mother.
You should be ashamed of yourself. If your mother knew that you posted this, she would be pretty disappointed.
If you have any of the virtues that you claim your political party has, you would delete this post immediately.
you people wonder why no one takes you seriously. unbelievable. put down your Chewbacca action figures and grow up. say what you want about Joel Rosenthal, but the old guard knows when to say when. you idiots don't.
Sorry. I disagree. I write about political staffers all the time. Because this is a website about South Dakota politics and if they didn't want to be in politics, they wouldn't work for a politician.
And what was negative about pointing it out? I just said "here it is"
It's not like I pulled up the 10 year class reunion note Andy's wife posted and made fun of it.
If it's posted out on the internet, it's out there for the world and God to see. If Congresswoman Herseth's chief of staff didn't want it out there to be viewed, he could either delete it, put a password on it, or not renew his URL when it came due.
The thing looks to have been sitting out there for over 3 years, so obviously they want people to read it.
And 9:29, there are plenty of times I write things about people in my camp. But it is my blog, so I get to pick, not you.
Have I been wrong on occasion? You bet, and I'm usually quick to print a correction. But in this case, I don't think anyone has been wronged.
I can't please everyone all the time, and I have absolutely no interest in trying. So, if you don't like it, you are free to change the channel.
Posting it was meant to be more of a recognition/commentary of Jeff's engagement/ newlywed bliss. It wasn't intended to be negative. If it was negative, I would have pulled selected parts out and mocked them.
If you are reading it as mocking, please type nasty notes to yourself, as opposed to me. I don't always try to be an a******, you know.
Secondly, the crack about his mom was inappropriate, and it's gone. Please refrain from that kind of stuff, as I will draw the line at family members who aren't incolved in politics.
They don't always get to choose whether or not their family member is or not.
They're the same bunch of ass holes cry out for people to provide evidence that PBS has a liberal bias. How about we hold them to their standards....
Challenge: muster so much as a shred of evidence to support your claims? Otherwise, shut the F*@# up.
