SD Watch’s Unsung Progressive South Dakota Heroes for 2008–Looby, Mattingly, Mudd and Warner

There are four women who I think are the unsung heroes of 2008 in South Dakota.  Most you haven’t heard of.  But they have all made important contributions to the progressive movement in our state.  In fact, I’d say they are indespensible to the “bluing” of our state.

Epp More Hopeful Than Blanchard on Gaza

I’m not sure most of us in KELOLAND know or care much about the Gaza Strip.  It’s not like Doug Lund ever did a story on a nice Palestinian woman who milked goats and won the Gaza County Fair with her home made feta cheese.

But a speck of an area in a small country on the east end of the Mediterranean Sea gets an inordinate amount of our nation’s attention. And that small country–Israel–gets an inordinate amount of our treasury and the ears of our Presidents and Congressmen and women.

So, we should pay attention to what goes on in Gaza, as my KELOLAND colleague Dr. Ken Blanchard does today.
