Postscripts to recent stories....

I don't want to write about the same things ad nauseum, but there are several points to follow up on that readers might be interested in.

First, The Rapid City Weekly news has a story on the Kooiker mayoral race, where Sam talks about Hamilton offering him $10k, but he turned him down. He also mentiones his (former) friend Mike Schumacher originally turning down the Hamilton offer of cash, but then taking it when the amount was upped.

Read that story here.

Although I'm told that we may see State Representative Alan Hanks jump into the race after all, backed by former Republican Stan Adelstein, setting up a "Hamilton-Adelstein-Average guy" proxy race.

Stay tuned on that one.

On the Herseth/Argus Leader photo story....

Today we're left wondering.... "Herseth wedding photos? What Herseth wedding photos?" The link is now gone off of the Argus Leader's website. That one is sure to get the conspiracy theorist tongues a waggin'.

What happened to the missing 16 photos? And will we ever get to see them?

As SDP noted "Free the Argus 16!"

It is a little suspect - the most plausible explanation is that the Argus was given advance photos from the Herseth people, prepared a website for them, and inadvertantly added a link. Then, when they noticed their error, they removed the link.

This version of the story will confirm that, despite possible statements to the contrary, Herseth wants to turn this into a little media event.

Now even the link has vanished! This has become a scandal on the level of Watergate. The legislature must immediately issue subpoenas to the Argus staff, Krantz, her wedding photographer and Stephonies chief of staff...whoever that is. We must hear testimony, under oath, from these accomplices. Then, S.H. must be impeached.

GREAT IDEA--the impeachment--I mean.

Can we impeach her for being a young chick sleeping with Grandpa??

A note from Benedict Ar... Sorry. A note from Stan Adelstein why he thinks you should vote Democrat this year.

(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. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

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...
