I sort of watched Bobby Jindal spew the same old same old even though most of it has now proven not to work, but I just could not get interested in his line of crap. After all the hype about the guy, that was discouraging. He makes the future of the GOP look like a dead horse and sound like......

South Dakota is at it again, with a new egg rights bill that defines “any organism with the genome of homo sapiens” as a person under the South Dakota Constitution. Man it’s hard to keep up with all the really poorly thought out legislation from that state! Broadsheet has the simpl...

Some posts in Dakota Today are showing up at the KELOLAND Guest blogs. Not sure if Dakota Today is in the main index yet or not, but apparently I did not completely screw up everything messing with a new (to me at least) blog interface used by KELOLAND.

Light gray type on slightly darker gray may make some gay designer wet his or her pants, but that is sure not the most readable combination especially when the t...

Former Vermont governor Howard Dean, the man regarded by many sharp political operatives as the progenitor of President-elect Barack Obama's successful 2008 campaign, finds himself without an obvious next job as his tenure as head of the Democratic National Committee comes to an end....
