Reactions to the Supreme Court\'s Hosanna-Tabor ruling were predictable. Conservatives liked it and liberals mostly did not. You might file this one under: \"be careful what you wish for.\" In Hosanna-Tabor, the Court carved out a \"ministerial..

12.02.08 22:44 from South DaCola
A South DaCola foot soldier tipped me off tonight that Munson has been hinting at ‘getting back into politics\'. ( I think one of the TV stations broke the news at 10 PM ) I always assumed he would run for the legislature again, but i..

I was toying with the idea of writing something like what is quoted below, but never got around to it. I don\'t know who wrote this, but they did a better job than I might have. So-called \"merit\" bonuses for teachers would seem to me to like..

Well, if you were judging the two major political parties (can I call the Democrats a major party in SD?) in the state based on the number of tweets or press releases they send out, you would assume the Democrats were kicking the GOP\'s but..

Between Manville and Lusk, Wyoming, 2/5/12. Best I can tell, this is a Red-tailed hawk, but there are a lot of shading variations in both red-tailed and red-shouldered hawks. Any Foruminants have a clue? [ Update after Repete\'s comment: Loo..
