Mt. Blogmore Blog

Mt. Blogmore is a project of the Rapid City Journal. The faces of the "gods" of Mt. Blogmore are Bill Harlan, Kevin Woster, Scott Aust..three reporters and columnists and Mary Garrigan is now RC Journal Editorial page editor. The cast of "gods" generating the smoking posts has changed since Mt. Blogmore was started in September of 2004 and so has the cast of commenters...even though the some of the actors behind some of the characters have played multiple roles.
Mt. Blogmore is the "Gorilla" of South Dakota blogs. It has a very interesting mix of posts and comments and now and then the research resources of a newspaper. It makes a difference. Nothing else quite like it in South Dakota and for all I know it may be a "oner" in the whole country. Obviously aimed at adult readers, but now and then the censorship is a bit prissy and now and then the delay between comment writing and actual posting introduces odd discontinuities in the discussion. Perspective of primary posters leans toward the conservative side, but pays homage now and then to balance. Worth a regular check if you are interested in South Dakota politics and there are links on the page to the RC Journal and their other blogs. Moderated comments allowed.
