Just a couple of things I noticed that bear mentioning.
Fellow KELOLAND blogger Dr. David Newquist is back on the blogging horse after a rather extended absence due to problems with his hands. It's nice to see The Nuke back at it, giving us all the hell we deserve. Seriously, David, it's great to have you back. I've missed your intelligence, wit, and tell-it-like-it-is style.
In looking more closely at the June 3 state legislative primaries, it appears a fairly major celebrity who is running has slipped through the media cracks. WNAX Farm Director Michelle Rook is one of three GOP candidates for the House seat in District 18 (Yankton County). I knew Michelle from my SDPTV days and enjoyed dealing with her when I was with the Jack Billion gubernatorial campaign in 2006. It would be fun to have a reporter in the legislature as well as a blogger, my buddy Pat Powers, who is running for Senate in District 7 (Brookings County).
