Thanks, Iowa, for a pleasant stay!

Sorry to know my native state will completely implode come Monday. It was nice to be there for Iowa's last week.

Seriesly, it was fun watching the wingnuts in full panic mode! It was disappointing, though, to see how few people understand Constitutional democracy...and how many of those hold elective office!

All in all, though, Iowa is making me proud again! That "oneiowa.org" commercial sums up my feelings...all that and great rail trails, too.

My feet hurt. I'm going to bed. Night, Iowa! :hi:

1. Implode? Hmmmm. I've seen no evidence of that on the east side of the state.

2. Sorry to hijack your thread...

Sorry to hijack your thread...

This was too great not to post! Its from Bob Vander Plaats' own website!!!!

The title of the blog post is: VANDER PLAATS GETS THE CROWD RILED UP IN ROWLEY

Yet at least three people, most of them seated in the front rows are clearly sleeping through whatever tirade Bob is bumbling on about.

I know this is probably against Forum rules but I had to let DU know about this gem of a blog post.

PS. Western Iowa is going horribly wrong....

3. Pretty funny pic

Yep, that crowd is really riled up. And welcome to our little Iowa Forum. You'll probably think we're all crazy, but in reality, we're just nuts. Lol. Seriously, this is a good place to be.

4. Certainly hurry back if we still exist after Monday

How many gay marriages will it take to hit the tipping point? one? Ten? a hundred? Maybe one of Vander Plaat's kids? Or King's
