Got this in the email inbox this evening after Hillary’s landslide in West Virginia
After tonight’s tremendous victory here in West Virginia, it’s clear that the pundits declaring this race over have it all wrong. The voters in West Virginia spoke loud and clear — they want this contest to go on.
I’m listening to the [...]

As the fight continues over retooled FISA laws that would give the US Government more power to legally spy on us without warrants and that would give telecommunications companies retroactive immunity for what has already occurred, the LA Times tells us just how much losing some of our civil liberties has helped to this point.
The [...]

Not sure how long this YouTube video will last on line but here is SNL’s Hillary Clinton satirical speech (yes Randell, this is how satire is accomplished) on why she isn’t leaving the race from last night’s show.

You may or may not have noticed that things here were awful quiet yesterday. For months I have been fighting a very temperamental Microsoft Vista PC that often would not shut down, wouldn’t let me install programs or drivers, and just was a general pain in the a**. All during those months I had been [...]

I wasn’t able to get any usable pictures with my ridiculously horrible camera phone and the driving rain but it seems that the Ron Paul army hasn’t taken the suspension of his campaign too seriously. Driving through Watertown today I noticed a large Ron Paul for President sign on in a parking lot on US212 [...]

Speaking of numbers like $11.4 million, last night’s primaries in North Carolina and Indiana along with Pennsylvania a few weeks ago gave us another interesting number. Even though John McCain has long since wrapped up the GOP nomination, over 435,000 people voted for a Republican other than McCain in the last 3 primaries.
And no, I [...]

If anyone is still wondering why Hillary Clinton is still in the race despite an almost killer blow in last night’s primaries, MSNBC is reporting that after last month, she has 11.4 million reasons to stay in the race to the end.
WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has lent her presidential campaign $6.4 million over [...]

Those that have read this blog for awhile probably know by now my obsession with Apple’s iPhone and news that the newest 3G version could be released as soon as late next month has me salivating.
According to cellpassion, AT&T’s pulling a similar move as Apple did last year, disallowing any employee vacations for a period [...]

While some still believe that the Reverend Hagee endorsement sought after and received by John McCain is nowhere near the level that the Reverend Wright scandal has reached with Barack Obama, the McCain camp isn’t as sure anymore.
McCain’s aides have admitted that they should have probably vetted Hagee a bit more thoroughly.
McCain’s aides attribute the [...]

I normally don’t blow my own horn, probably because I never have a horn to blow when compared with the other fine South Dakota Blogs but this caught me a bit off guard last night.
BlogNetNews is a feed aggregator on steroids that also uses some kind of super secret algorithm to rank the “influence” of [...]

If you’ve watched any TV the past few months, you have undoubtedly seen the commercials prodding the last few remaining Americans that don’t have cable or satellite TV that they will need to get a digital converter box prior to the changeover to all digital broadcasts in February of 2009. Our government leaders are even [...]

Cory over at Madville Times introduces us to a 3rd challenger for the GOP nomination for the U S Senate. Veterinarian Dr. Charles Gonyo joins the race with Sam Kephart and Joel Dykstra whom are looking to challenge Tim Johnson this November. While Cory chooses to focus on Dr Gonyo’s abortion stand, which from what [...]
