3:29, get it right. Abby's favoite watering hole is Bob's. Thats where he does his best thinkiing after a dozen drinks or so. I've always wondered how he is able to sober up enough to drive home after an evening like that, I quess the answer lies with the courageous men in blue of the Pierre PD. Or maybe they don't want to jeopardize their invites to the game fee. Na, that can't be it.

(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.

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.
