Almost there…….
Todd Epp is just like me, in that he can hardly wait for the new MSM blogging project to be unleashed upon the unsuspecting masses.
Several of us participating have just gotten our notices that things are going live soon. And that’s soon as in yet today or tomorrow.
Now if there were only something juicy to write on.
I don’t mean atomic bombshell. I mean something interesting and fun. Because it’s going to be a bit silly to be chomping at the bit, and then finding ourselves without anything to say.
I mean, Hildygate is in a lull until the states attorney does or does not charge anyone. Roger Hunt was vindicated by the first court (and it will likely go to appeal). Ted Klaudt is even out of the news for a couple of days until we hear some other icky revelation. The crew out west in Rapid City is quiet for the moment, and at best, I might find yet another article on Senator Johnson’s return timetable, or more on Congresswoman Herseth being bought by Arnie Garson.
In fact, the best I can come up with is that the Mountain Lions are in the backyards in Whitewood. Which means it’s time for a post on how we need to thin the population before they eat someone’s kid.
Hardly a time to launch a media frenzy.
But I’ll soldier on. There’s always hope that some interesting political news will pop up. Sooner or later, it always does.

Sibby rocks. I predict the new MSM blogging project will mostly be dominated by Sibby being…well, Sibby, and PP enlightening everybody about the various details of his family life. That, plus Epp bleeding poetic on the horrors of what people are saying about Johnson.
Todd Epp is just showing off the true tolerance and appreciation of diversity by the South Dakota Democrats.
Steve, for someone who accuses people of mental illness, being Communists, and trying to destroy America, you have a very thin skin when even mild humor or criticism is shined your way. Not everyone who disagrees with you is mentally incompetent, anti-American, or anti-family. The act is growing really old.
If you hope to be a legislator in Pierre, you’re going to need to learn to not scorch the earth that your opponents stand on concerning every little thing. At some point, shouting at others becomes white noise. You get tuned out.
If I thought every Republican I disagreed with was crazy, there wouldn’t be enough room in Yankton for them all. Even the Johnson Wolf Packers, I don’t think most of them are crazy, just mean-spirited.
Also, if I hated everyone who disagreed with me, I’d be a pretty lonely guy. Even my wife disagrees with me on a pretty regular basis, not to mention my daughter. Same thing with my Republican friends. Do I disagree with PP on many things? Sure. Do I hate him? No. In fact, I rather like him. Same with Greg Belfrage. Same with a lot of Republicans, who, if I mentioned their names, you’d be quite surprised.
Even John Thune. I don’t hate John, I basically just don’t agree with anything he says or does. But I don’t spend my waking hours hating Sen. Thune. What’s the point? He doesn’t care whether I like him or not. It’s just a waste of karma to be that pissed off all the time.
Steve, did you ever play sports or debate in high school or college? In my debate, soccer, basketball, running, and swimming days, I really wanted to beat my opponents. But did I hate them? Absolutely not. In fact, I was friends with most of them. Didn’t mean a few elbows didn’t get thrown once in a while on court or on the field.
Same as a lawyer. If I hated every lawyer who was on the other side of a case, who would be left? We litigate like hell, try to treat each other civilly, then accept the court’s decision. Then move on to the next case where we might be on the same side.
Steve, yes, I’m a smartass. And a sarcastic asshole at times. But you don’t seem to have much of a sense of humor. PP and I give each other crap all the time. Belfrage and I go at each other with glee. Blanchard is a worthy and funny opponent. (I.E., the recent photo of the torpedo called an EPP. Laughed my ass off.) There are other foils in the GOP who I love to go up against because they are not only smart, they are witty, quick on their feet, and, when it is all said and done, good people you want to drink a beer or have a coffee with.
So, yes, I sometimes feel like you throw me softballs and I can’t resist swinging hard at them. My bad. Must. Not. Respond. Must. Hold. Tongue.
Steve, you are who you are. Maybe just be a little less of it at times here in the blogosphere. Ok?
Best regards,
Todd

No Todd, it is a dirty job and not popular in today’s environment, but the Truth needs to be told. And by holding up a mirror to your rhetoric should have taught you some truth by now.
Unfortunately you continue to accuse me of things that you yourself violate. Thin skin…get a mirror Todd.
And Todd, speaking of hate. Why do you hate the Truth to the point that you celebrate that I am to be excluded from this major project? Do you really hate me that much? Like I said earlier, get a mirror before you answer those questions.
Todd and PP, here’s an idea for your new blog:
(Ok, so I’m breaking my boycott. BFD.)
Forget about every candidate running right now on either side. Let’s talk about who would win if 1. Al Gore, 2. Newt Gingrich , and 3, Fred Thompson ended up being the real finalists.
Hey, stranger things have happened.
Anon #9, I’m still waiting to see where I was quoted saying that.
And Bill, welcome back. (I’d put my money on Fred).
As a postscript,
Bill, if you really want to be offended about what some commenters are saying about TJ, here’s one for you.
I think it’s so offensive, even I won’t post it at the top level:

Steve, you talk about Truth as though you understand the meaning of the word. Simply put, you don’t.
There are so many theories of “truth” that you’d strangle yourself with your ponytail trying to grasp centuries of philosophers’ understandings of “truth.” The way you fling the word around in the blogosphere (eg. “In Search of the Truth”) is a mockery of intellectual and philosophical minds.
I know you don’t care. You listen to Rush and cite Ann Coulter. That’s all that needs to be said.
Earth to Sibby via Col. Jessep — You can’t handle the truth!
“I think it’s so offensive, even I won’t post it at the top level.”
Right. You’re being so classy and sensitive by posting it in the comments section.
PP, this is not 9, but I remember you saying that too. Get a search function and I’ll help dig it out. You did say that. You said you were involved in something that would change the way every South Dakotan uses the internet.
Why are you back, Fleming? The only good thing about your re-appearance is that it will help PP with “hits”. 
Does this mean that there will be another forum for the interminable piddling duels–which are neither instructive or interesting to watch? In fact, they are a good reason not to use the Internet.
Vicki…so THAT’S how PP is going to change the way all of SoDak uses the internet!!!! Piddling Duels! Awesome. I’m just not sure how he’s going to make money off that yet, but I’m sure there’s a plan.
Are you kidding me, people! Sibby gets 10 times the support from Blogmore than he ever gets here. And he’s on your side, doods.
Sib. Maybe you should tell these Repubs to shape up or ship out. Who loves ya baby?
It seems pretty clear that Keloland, sans Schlibby, is just another Godless, anti-american communist tool seeking to ban motherhood and Sunday dinners.
On the bright side Sib, your exclusion will give you more time to cultivate your anger, work on your cut and paste jobs, and rock out to Alice Cooper.
Whaddup with Todd E’s chain yank on Sibby?
