And "Mean Man" is very fitting and makes me think of the Governor of South Dakota, Mike Rounds.

Mike Rounds has this to say about South Dakota:

In every decision we make and in every policy we develop, we are committed to protecting those who cannot protect themselves... the very young and the very old. We will protect our communities from those who wish to do us harm; and we will provide our children with a quality education, because they are our future. We will work every day to make South Dakota a model of diversity, excellence and creativity for the rest of the country to emulate.

We look forward to working with communities, large and small, to energize ideas for economic development, tourism and the quality of life issues that make this the greatest state in the nation.

We hope you'll join us on this journey as we write a new chapter in South Dakota's history. Working together, we'll make South Dakota an even better place to live.

Hmm. That somehow just doesn't ring true for me.
