    It's time for a Marco Rubio thread?

    So, with his strong showing in Iowa I think we should start discussing the Man in the Boots. I dismissed him early on as not confident enough, but it seems that he is getting there. Of the GOP he seems the most rational, but I'm sure I'm missing something. Why is Rubio awesome? Why is Rubio...

    Captain Kirk's Birthplace To Get A Casino

    From the Des Moines Register: Riverside, Iowa, is the self-proclaimed (and official) future birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk. The town was the subject of an elaborate (and sometimes clever) practical joke in William Shatner's TV special, "Invasion Iowa." If you are planning to visit...

    Did the President Insult a "Swing" State?

    KCCI quotes the President saying the following in little town near the capital of Iowa, Iowa being one of the "battleground" states in the coming election: Well, guess what. The head of the Iowa Democratic Party has said that referring to Des Moines as the hinterlands is insulting, and he...

    Nebraska City Says Iowa Stole Arbor Day

    From KETV, the Omaha Channel: The "Survey" on this web site asks the inane question: "Which state does Arbor Day belong to?" The choices are "Iowa," "Nebraska" and "Neither - Arbor Day belongs to everybody." Also from the Department of There's No Pleasing Some People, there are Iowans who...

    Kerry, Edwards, Iowa & Dean

    Dean has de-constructed. Bye, bye... Iowa apparently has not gone along with the media hype. Covers on Time and Newsweek [two North American weeklys]. As I said earlier Dean will/did "cheeseburger" the tubes. Folks, it's GWB in 2004. Put the blame on Powelll where it belongs and let's move on...

    Iowa Cockus

    The polls are swinging in Iowa as we see which candidate takes the prize and which players will get the shaft. Even if Dean loses, will he take it on the chin and proceed to New Hampshire? Anyway- they say 100,000 are expected to come out. Of the ~260 million people in this country, that's...

    Handicapping Iowa

    I know it's unfashionable of late, but my money's still on Dean in a squeaker. Main reason: Harkin endorsed him, and Harkin runs Iowa. If it comes down to a matter of organizing and getting the right people to stand up and speak at the caucus meetings, it's Harkin. Plus he'll be the...

    Woman Accused of Witchcraft

    Here's the sick story of the day, from KCCI TV (Des Moines, Iowa): The headline for this story is "Baby Sitter Arrested, Accused Of Witchcraft, Satanism." Actually, she was not charged with witchcraft at all. Nor was she charged with being a satanist. She was charged with child endangerment...

    Is "Des Moines" a Native American Joke?

    Des Moines is the capital city of the state of Iowa. Most people living in the city do not know the origin of the city's name. Well, here's a theory on the origin of the name, as reported in the Des Moines Register: Lest you think it unlikely that the natives to play jokes like this on...
