S.D. Watch - S.D. Watch

Read tons of stuff so you don't have to, it's today's edition of "Must Reads."

Let's get on with it, shall we?

Reclaiming Our Base (Liberal Street Fighter)--Interesting post on how the Right fails to understand the important role that women--particularly mothers--play as the moral force in families.
RINO's and wing-nuts and bears, oh my! (SD War College)--PP takes on the RINO insult and talks about the importance of big tents in politics. Democrats, are you listening?
Court decision robs from poor, gives to rich (George Will)--Yes, I'm referring you to George Will. He says what a bunch of bunk the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision is on eminent domain.
Robert's Virtual Soapbox - Unnamed Item (Robert's Virtual Soapbox)--A discussion from a good Democrat on why Hillary Clinton should not be the next Dem Prez Nominee. Don't know if I agree, but it is interesting reading.
The Demise of the All Volunteer Army? (The Daily Kos)--Whether you are for or against the war in Iraq, this is a issue of vital importance that our nation needs to address--now.
With Our History, Spinning America's Image Isn't Enough (History News Network)--This is a great new source I just found. This article discusses why other countries don't trust America's "democratization" efforts.
Hagel: "Iraq could be worse than Vietnam" (The Daily Kos)--The handwriting is on the wall only W can't see it.
Weekend Roundup: Thune’s bud catches a tough break, Conservative blog “ashamed” of Gourley, Rosenthal just another pretty face, and RCJ hates America (Don't Worry About the Government)--Let me simply say, classic Jer Bear.
Iran's President Says He'll Move Forward With Nuclear Program (New York Times)--This should makes us all shudder. There's not a good result at the end of this deal.
I'm glad they cleared that up....(Blind Orange Julius)--More good stuff from our state's visual blogger (caution, visual obscenity shown).
RC BRAC transcript (Mt. Blogmore/RCJ)--Links to the transcript, in case you have a spare couple of hours.
Colombia: Women Face Prison for Abortion (Human Rights Watch)--What South Dakota could be like after another legislative session or two.

Have a great work week!
