Sioux Falls City Councilor, Kermit Staggers responds to Councilor Costello’s attacks and gives him some advice;

Now is the time for Pat Costello to break out of the Sioux Falls City Council’s “artificial world” and to see what the rest of the world is like. He should start by going door to door in the neighborhoods and get in touch with the people who are suffering during this economic recession.

Or serve them hamburgers with all the fixin’s.

Herseth bails on Healthcare reform

No surprise, and to tell you the truth, I would probably vote against it to. If you are gonna have a public option it should be available TO EVERYONE in EVERY STATE.

U.S. Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin said she will oppose a historic health care bill now before the House, she said moments ago.

“It is not the right answer for South Dakota,” she said.

On a side note, yah gotta love the Health Insurance ad on the page of the story.

The Republican party really needs their members to take a test before they join

“What do you mean!?!? Virginia is full of liberals! It’s all black people!”

This is the quote I heard from a middle-aged woman from the bar at Minerva’s tonight (while I had my back turned to her talking to a friend about how the media is freaking out about the Republican sweep in Virginia on Tuesday night).

I did not respond, I turned around, chuckled, turned back around and pretended she did not exist. Then when I started talking about substitute teacher pay with my bar mate, she started in again, but I did not turn around and ignored her. After she left, one of the waitresses told me that the lady bitched earlier that FOX News was not playing on the TV. Go Figure.

Here’s the deal, I don’t have a problem with conservative and republican values, I have a problem with stupidity.
