Of the legitimate candidates, Tom Johnson is completely getting his butt kicked. As one politico pointed out as I chatted with him today, mentioning the main point on the Tom Johnson postcard:
"...If that's the main point on your resume, it's better not to list anything."

What's next? The items he put on his college application?

I saw on the news tonight that Tom Johnson was picked up and given a Breathalyzer when the car he was riding in was stopped for erratic driving. The driver was a 18 year old transvestite that was arrested for DUI.

Was he on his way to his victory rally, or was he investigating Tifs?

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.

Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on...

Is the first "dog of war" a poodle? The Sutton team unleashes an injunction.

By -
After promising to unleash the dogs of war on to the Senate should they proceed with a hearing, the Sutton defense team struck first with an injunction trying to prevent the hearing from going forward. As related at ArgusLeader.com tonight, things are now on hold in the Senate: A judge has ordered the Senate to put on hold a hearing to decide whether to remove Sen. Dan Sutton of Flandreau, who has been accused of groping a legislative page a year ago. Judge Dave Gienapp of Moody County signed the order, obstained late today by the Argus Leader. Patrick Duffy, one of Sutton's lawyers, had asked for the ruling today. Duffy said the Senate does not have the right, constitutionally, to force Sutton to leave office by holding the hearing that it had planned. The hearing was to start as soon next week. The judge will hear arguments in the case at 9 a.m. Jan. 19 in Flandreau. Sutton has not spoken at length about the issue, but his lawyers have maintained his innocence. Asked about the ...
