Lund "At Large" at Keloland

[note: I added text to photo above]. I got Hemmingsen's blog in here. So, it was a good time to get Doug Lund's blog in as well since both are sitting on the Keloland site. Like Hemmingsen's blog, this one is a mixture of stuff..hard to describe. Lund always seemed to me to be a bit of a loose cannon at KELO news, but he might describe himself as a dedicated journalist without a hint of rascal kid poking through the journalist veneer. I suspect Lund might be wondering how he can have worked for so many years and still think like he is just getting into his first car. I get the feeling about once a year..well maybe a few dozen times a year that there just can't be so many years between my birth and the current date but no sense not writing like I feel instead of the way the calendar and those around me now and then act. Well, as you may have guessed, I really don't know anything worth writing about Doug Lund's blog, but whatever..it is both entertaining and informative. New Window LINK to Lund at Large at KELOLAND

Northern Valley Beacon Blog

David Newquist has had a blog or two going for at least a couple of years. Newquist is not bashful about expressing his opinions which usually have a strong Democratic Populist taking no prisoners slant. The Aberdeen SD Blogger has a strong journalism background and routinely blasts some of the blather the rest of us present in our blogs in his crusade to either indicate why many or most political blogs aren't actually journalism or reasons for skewering the posts. Comments are allowed but moderated.

Take a look if you want a very literate and idiosyncratic view of Democratic policies and SD blogs.

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.

Actually, not much new just yet. This is frankly kind of a place holder until I figure out what to do with it for sure.

Stay tuned anyway.
