Questions

My mother’s cousin’s blog

by

He has an interesting blog he started after publishing the above book, mom writes;

Did I ever tell you that my cousin Joel Jurrens, also has a blog site.  He lives in Estherville, IA and is a deputy sherrif over there.  He also has written a mystery book named “In the Sticks”.  I have it and read it.  He is the type of guy that has a dry sense of humor and injects this into his book.

BTW, my mother is a DaCola reader and commenter. Be nice.

Pukey is gone

You may, or may not have noticed that my intro page is gone. I may bring it back, but me puking out politicians is no longer.

It is something I have been meaning to change for awhile.

We will miss you Pukey.

The Best Political Blog in SD?

by

I would have to agree, the best, independent, non-partisan political blog in the state is David Montgomery’s politicalsmokeout.

Which I find refreshing.

Why?

This is a guy who makes his living from a gigantic media company that attacks bloggers, kisses the asses of advertisers, and let’s local politicians walk all over the publisher.

So while the poor subscribers who pay for a daily newspaper subscription have to read the boring drivel in the dead tree version, us political nerds get to read the ‘GOOD STUFF’, for FREE on David’s blog.

Keep it up Argus. I love it when you poke yourself in the eye.
