Noteworthy in South Dakota...

The abortion ban measure in South Dakota has failed. I do believe we may be seeing a sloughing off of the ultraconservative mantle in this fine country.

On the other hand, other states are banning same-sex marriage.

Well, in the immortal words of a famous chimp, it's gonna be "hard work" to bring this country back to sanity, no matter how big the gains are tonight.
