Political items - the Nesselhuf Hackey Sack
I had one of my friends get this to me - I'm now a proud owner of the "official" Ben "B.J." Nesselhuf campaign hackey sack.
It's one of those rotten campaign items that would cause me to absolutely bitch at a candidate if they ever bought and distributed them because of it's frivolous nature and limited impact..
But hey, it's still pretty cool.

During my campaign in 2002, mom was working with a new group who needed a project desperately. She suggested the campaign hacky sack and I just about laughed her out of the room. I thought the idea was absurd but, I had a little extra money and I thought, if it would help this group, I would order a few hundred. They have been so popular (not just in the “liberal college town” but also in Turner County) that I never order less then a thousand per election (paying the South Dakota sales tax, of course). I hate to admit it but mom was right.
DUH.
Speaking of sacks, do you supposed Randy Feedsack was stunned that he was not appointed Ag Secretary?
Sorry. I must be feeling mean-spirited this morning! Ha!
I would say that it has more than a 'limited impact' when you pass out "B.J. sacks" to college kids. They tend to remember you.
How much are they? SDWC hackeys would be nifty.
Of coure, maybe if they get really good at it, and somebody is impressed, they might collect the occasional BJ.
Compare that to the 2, 3, or 4 comments or so on a topic like medical marijuana last fall. Most of which came from Bob Newland, myself and few others.
Hackey sacks vs. medical marijuana. Again my point on the priorities of South Dakota should be well taken.
