Now THAT'S a Christmas Present - over 1/2 MILLION page views.

I just passed over a half a million page views. WOW.

Who would have ever thought that I could create something that people thought was worth looking at over a half a million times.

Thanks for the nice Christmas present.

What other numbers do you compare yours to PP?
Your own from last year? Chad's? Epp's? Blogmore's? I do think it's all growing exponentially, it's just hard to know how much. There are big opportunities in the offing if someone can crack the code. Let's compare notes sometime.

pp, p.s .Maybe it doesn't seem kosher to be out front like this, but get used to it. That's the new style.

PP,

When you log on 100x a day it adds up.

I compare them to last year's numbers, as more of the other bloggers don't discuss theirs too much.

Todd Epp did have something comparing them all about a year ago, and a couple of the other blogs have counters on them, but I'm not sure if I want to get into the "my traffic is higher than your game."

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...
