It is stunning. You can't really see it from the photo, but they've finished his face. And it's only 128 miles from Wall Drug. (OK, I made the number up, but anyone who has ever driven through South Dakota will know what I mean!) -CW To everyone -

I was thinking of the Little Bighorn, since all eyes are on Montana, went and read up on it, and saw the name Crazy Horse. Well, that conveniently tied in South Dakota, and when I googled his name, found the surprising coincidence that today was the 60th anniversary of the start of the monument. Like I say, it kind of wrote itself! -CW Elizabeth -

Allow me to take this opportunity to thank our dear moderator - can we agree never to use that term again...it gives me the creeps! - for all of the great work he has done during this unprecedented primary season. It has been a long and arduous run but, through it all, he has kept a stiff upper lip and never failed to provide us with the kind of in-depth and reality-based political commentary that has been so sadly lacking from the rest of the media and blogosphere. Here's looking forward to Minnisota, Denver and beyond. Bravo, Chris! Now that's what I call an analogy...and subject matter that is as close to my heart as anything related to politics can be.
