' [...] One of my pet peeves I have with Democrats is that they never go for the jugular. Why go half-way?
Sen. Scott Heidepriem blamed years of irresponsible spending for the current hole in the state budget, saying South Dakota has not been governed by fiscal conservatives in the last seven [...]
Sioux Falls drummer Bobby Berge is one of the musicians interviewed in the current issue of Hush Magazine, published in Spain, talking about his days playing with the late guitarist Tommy Bolin of Sioux City.

I made the snap decision to have lunch at Senor Wiener earlier this week. I would have written my review earlier, but the chili dog I had left me with a case of the [...]
Listen closely to end of his speech, funny shit. I guess once the crowd figured out they were had, they were dumbfounded, then they violently attacked the punkers, and the state police ignored the incident.

Event Center Task Force Chair, Terry Baloun lays it on thick
We all knew this was coming like a freight train, the Gargoyle Leader endorses the Event Center Task Force’s flawed plan;
The plan, in its broad strokes, deserves the council’s [...]
Testimony ended on September 4, 2009 in this case, so why is it taking so long for Judge Caldwell to give her opinion? Good question. It almost makes you wonder if she is dragging her feet to see if the city pulls a rabbit out of their [...]
What is the best way to ask God to unseat God?
While I find nothing surprising coming out of this forum, this little tidbit threw me for a loop;

I suggested a few years ago that SW should just be in Fawick Park, it would make it more accessible to people with special needs and would centralize the program. I still think it is a good idea, and maybe when the new mayor takes over, whoever it is, I [...]
I believe this toon got published in Northern State’s college paper. They requested permission and were supposed to send me a copy of the printed version, but I never got it. Anybody know? Anybody?

While I would never go to LifeLight because, well . . . let’s not get into that today. I have said in the past that it is a good thing for Sioux Falls because there is probably some kind of economic impact on the area:

A couple more adjustments, and you will be a gay-hating teabagger
Gotta hand it to the Gargoyle Leader, they won’t publish my letters about how our street department is wasteful and inept, but they will publish the letters of two different teabagging, right wing nut jobs in the [...]
I like to tell John what needs a good ‘pounding’
John can’t even lie good when asked simple questions. He must really have a low opinion about the intelligence level of South Dakotans, or at least the ones that vote for him;
Thune is seeking a second term [...]
If you have been attending the Events Center Task Force meetings over the past couple of months, something was pretty obvious, Howard Wood wasn’t going anywhere. Why?

• Significant parking can [...]
This toon printed in the Argus Leader and took up about half of the 2nd page in the Voices section. At the time many readers were confused and thought this was the ‘original’ plaque. I still laugh about that.

It was only a matter of time;
Pawlenty may not be the next Romney, but John Thune might be. David Brooks was waxing panegyrical in his column on Thune today, and one thing he focused on was Thune’s alleged love of all things small and local:
