I’m off to see the wizard…..
Maybe not the wizard, but I’m at least off to see the Senator.
I’m tagging along in a carload from the Sioux Falls area heading towards Aberdeen for the Brown County Republican Lincoln Day Dinner. U.S. Senator John Thune, Lt. Governor Dennis Daugaard, former President Pro Tempore Lee Schoenbeck, and others will be speaking [...]

Gov Staffer leaves to go to TSD
I missed this one until now. Kim Olson, wife of Representative Ryan Olson, is moving out of her space in the Governor’s office and taking up residence at the Department of Tourism and State Development:
Kim (Juffer) Olson has been named the state’s Economic Development Director and the Deputy Secretary of the Department of Tourism and [...]
It looks like flip/flops might be the proper attire for one person up for election in Pierre next week.
I must have moved from Pierre a little too early, as I missed this wild ride of a city commission meeting.
As part of the setup, the city recently proposed raising fees on electrical late fees and reconnections. In some cases, they’d be raised nearly 1000%! Democratic Mayor Dennis Eisnach has wavered back and forth on [...]
KCCR NEWS: Klaudt hires attorney familiar with the Pierre courthouse.
After initially using House Speaker Tom Deadrick to represent him at initial hearings in his trial for multiple instances of misconduct against foster children residing in his house, KCCR news in Pierre is reporting today that former Representative Ted Klaudt has hired a familiar face to the Hughes County Courthouse to represent him:
A preliminary hearing [...]
We need it, but it wouldn’t have done any good?
Senator Gene Abdallah is on Keloland.com today making note that we need a code of ethics. Because it wouldn’t have done a darn thing?
Republican Senator Gene Abdallah of Sioux Falls says, “We have to have a code of ethics like everybody else has a code of ethics, every other department or agency or business.”
Senator Gene [...]
Never-to-be-Senator-again Adelstein decides to go toe to toe with Moi
The person who spent so much time and effort trying to pull the Republican Party apart like a child fighting over a prized doll over the past couple of elections just made a fatal mistake. Under a prior post, Stan Adelstein actually is trying to intimate that I might be spreading falsehoods about him.
He’s actually [...]
Now THAT’s what I’m talking about.
Fox News:
Fred Thompson Expected to Announce White House Candidacy in July
I think I might finally be able to get interested in presidential politics.

More PAC wars out in Rapid City. And I must have missed that note.
The Rapid City Journal is reporting this morning that there’s a PAC war afoot in the mayor’s race between Doug Hamilton and Stan Adelstein as the hours tick away before the election:
Shaw reported $70,499 in two payments from the Elect Better Government PAC, which is linked to businessman Doug Hamilton. Another $250 was received from [...]

UPDATE: Go check out Jason Folkerts Cartoon on the subject. No Mammoth, but still funny…

Boy, those SDSU logo choices must have really stunk
I see from Argusleader.com tonight that my alma mater, SDSU, has opened up the logo contest to everyone in the world after three choices offered by a design firm flopped miserably:
The SDSU web site has several designs posted by Phoenix Design Works of New York City. Now the university is opening the design process [...]
Gee, what a shock. Someone get the CPR paddles. (yes, that was sarcasm)
Denise Ross is writing over at the Hog House Blog that *gasp* Stan Adelstein will try to run for his old seat against Tom Katus. Please. Someone pick me up off of the floor. I can’t believe it. (sorry, that was sarcasm if you didn’t get the inference over the keyboard).
Katus said Stan’s [...]
From the sound of these commercials, maybe Herseth should have stayed home.
If you think I’m tough on her, 2 commercials began running today in South Dakota markets regarding Congresswoman Herseth Sandlin’s trip to the ice caps:
60 Second Glacier Commerical
30 Second “Come Home” commercial
Ouch.

That was great. Did the climate change for you too?
Congresswoman Herseth and her comrades in Washington just returned from their Junket to Greenland where Speaker Pelosi declared that they saw the climate change:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record) said Monday she led a congressional delegation to Greenland, where lawmakers saw “firsthand evidence that climate change is a reality,” and she hoped the [...]
My "Vision South Dakota" is still a little fuzzy this morning.
Remember Vision South Dakota? They were one of the central entities at the center of the maelstrom of campaign finance shenanigans this past election. This was the group that had to return a $7000 contribution check from the Sisseton Whapeton Oyate tribe, and listed a $30,000 PAC check from an entity called the Midwest Coalition [...]
Herseth and her chief of staff out scouting the ice caps?
While South Dakota scratches it’s head, Congresswoman Herseth is out patrolling the ice caps of Greenland with Nancy Pelosi.
And in an e-mail I got yesterday, I heard that (supposedly) she took her chief of staff with her as well?
Here’s a question - in light of her junket to one of the planet’s desolate locations, what [...]
10 questions with…. Sam Kephart
I’d been looking for a good opportunity to resurrect one of my favorite features on the SDWC, and with the official announcement of Republican Sam Kephart as he takes on the challenge of running against incumbent US Senator Tim Johnson, the opportunity presented itself.
Normally, I’d give some biographical information here, but as Sam has provided [...]
Kebhart officially announced for Senate. No, I didn’t see it anywhere either.
Brandon Bennett of the Black Hills Pioneer had an interesting job the other day. Apparently, he’s one of the few people who covered “the official announcement” of Spearfish Republican Sam Kephart’s challenge of Tim Johnson for one of South Dakota’s seats in the US Senate. (Kephart had announced his intentions last week which got [...]
