September 2008

Statalicious

It was a stellar month for me both on my regular site and Kelo. The Kelo stats are above.

I was averaging 5,500 unique visitors a day by the end of the month and 7,700 page views on DaCola. Heck, I think that is more people then voted in the last Sioux Falls city election!

Modern Sioux Falls Family?

I think you need 3 or 4 more kids. This plaque on the entrance to Falls Drive is a depiction of a modern Sioux Falls family. I guess you have to look like a cartoon character to be considered modern. I’m all for public art, but c’mon! Still beats the Hell out of the plaque on the other side . . .

Palin the Book Banner

Okay, I can get over the fact that Palin thinks the earth is 5,000 years old, or that she thinks Abstinence education works, but being a bonified book banner, that goes to far.  There is no place for someone pro-censorship in the White House.

From TIME Magazine:

Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. “She asked the library how she could go about banning books,” he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. “The librarian was aghast.” That woman, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn’t be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving “full support” to the mayor.
