I don’t know why I think of this stuff when I wakeup in the middle of the night? Why does my brain only function at three in the morning? I think that night job I had for 3 years really screwed with my creativity.

Enough about me, What do you think would make the ultimate band? (you can also include dead musicians since this is a fantasy anyway).

Â LEAD VOCALS: Morissey (The Smiths) or Nina Simone

PIANO/BACKING VOCALS: Nick Cave (Bad Seeds) or Tom Waits

BASS: Mingus or Entwistle (The Who)

RHYTHM GUITAR: Izzy Stradlin (G & R) or Wayne Kramer (MC 5)

LEAD GUITAR: Jimi Hendrix, Rory Gallagher or Richard Thompson (Fairport Convention)

DRUMS: John Bonham (Led Zepp) or Stewart Copeland (The Police)

Whadda You think?

This is cool, Rapid City Journal;

A picture is worth a thousand laughs

One of the most original South Dakota blogs is South DaCola. It’s description as South Dakota’s snarkiest political blog is oh so appropriate, but there’s some really good stuff here.

The great thing about the Scott Ehrisman’s images is that they are direct and even when simple, such as this comment on the news that the legislature is questioning Lawrence & Schiller’s no-bid contracts, they certainly get the point across effectively.

Of course, my favorite graphic of Ehrisman’s on no-bid contracts is this one featuring Smiling Mike and a hypothetical budget analysis.

Florida Congresswoman thinks Floridian Radio DJ Pranksters call from Chicago?!

On Wednesday, the Republican congresswoman got a call from President-elect Barack Obama, didn’t believe it was him, and hung up on him. Twice.

What’s so odd about that? Mike Rounds would do the same, even if he new Barry was on the phone. “We have to save money in telecommunications for the state. This year we are sending out invitations to the Governor’s hunt by carrier pigeon.”

Bush once again blames everyone else for his problems. Seems they teach classes about that at AA;

Gibson: You’ve always said there’s no do-overs as president. If you had one —

Bush: The biggest regret of all the presidency has to have been the intelligence failure in Iraq. A lot of people put their reputations on the line and said, you know … the weapons of mass destruction is a reason to remove Saddam Hussein. It wasn’t just people in my administration, and um … You know, that’s not a do-over, but I wish the intelligence had been different, I guess.

I guess he was upset that the intelligence he WANTED didn’t turn out to be the intelligence he NEEDED to justify the war.Â And why do people continue to defend this jerkoff?

Planned Parenthood Lays Off SD Director

Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota said the bad economy prompted it to eliminate 9.5 positions, including the director of its two South Dakota clinics.

Kate Looby confirmed she was laid off, and said she understands it was a financial decision.

She has led the clinics since March 2003.

Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Kathi Di Nicola said the organization felt it couldn’t keep its public affairs staffing level and also maintain enough workers for health care services.

She said the other positions cut were in Minnesota, and stressed that the Sioux Falls and Rapid City clinics both will stay open.

Planned Parenthood has 28 clinics and 290 employees in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota.
