Did I hear that wedding bells are ringing in Brookings on the 30th
A reader "in the know" tells me that the big wedding date for Congresswoman Herseth is the weekend of March 30th in Brookings. Darn. My invitation must have gotten lost in the mail.
I'm not sure where the wedding would be, since on-line sources note that Sandlin is a Baptist, and Herseth is Lutheran. Our neighborhood is full of churches. And who's to say that she might not do a civil ceremony, say, up at the University? Otherwise, there are several nice locations in town.
So, what do you get a Democratic Congresswoman for her wedding?
Well, the old saying goes that a bride should get "something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue...."
For starters, I won't touch the "something old" line, because that joke is too easy. Way too easy. Something new could be the fact that she's now part of the majority, and has "a new majority leader."
Something borrowed might be the congressional seat she holds. Which she has temporarily "borrowed" from Republicans. Don't worry. We'll try to get it back this next year.
Now, when it comes to something blue, I have to take a pass. I can't get her something Blue, because South Dakota is a Red State.
Forget it. I'm going for the toaster. Or Bath towels. Either one is always a great wedding gift.
Alright, teasing aside, if she does get married on the 30th, this Republican wishes her all the happiness in the world. Marriages are tough enough nowadays, and political lives make them all the more complicated and difficult.
"Mazel tov" to the soon to be wedded couple.

As always, it's the thought that counts. Here's to your happiness, Stephanie!
while she's partying in Brookings our boys are dying on the front lines and she's pulling the rug out from under them
- Adam Sandler (Big Daddy)
will Ted Kennedy be mixing manhattans?
will George McGovern give the toast?
do tell PP!
hummmmmmm, wonder if kids/births were talked about????
How long was he married? With todays averages it must have been time to toss the old on with the new.
Side note: Today people just DO NOT respect marriage or commitment.
How long was he married? With todays averages it must have been time to toss the old OUT not on with the new.
the above is the worst blunder.

Puerta Vallarta is my guess
2002......
that is all.
That is why i typed Rumors with .... dot, dot, dot!
I also typed 2002....
Didn't say anything, just that there are rumors.
Disn't say they were right or wrong or what they were.
A rumor is just that a rumor nothing more nothing less.
Guess you took that post bad! humm.
Then he became her "mentor", i think i recall her stating that would mean the meeting was prior to 02. But i am not sure of course. Anyone know.
So how is the big ole Taxan going to fair while he gets to know good ole SD in the winter???? Very interesting it will be.
Life can become to much the same so it is "boring" in somes eyes.
Let's see he lost election so he has nothing much else to lose. Sounds like other poltical divorces - the camera is gone, so out goes the old in with the new.
But if it is to be so be it.
Lets see when she is 46 he will be 68 humm (is that right?) not sure if that will be fun, but who knows.
