Loved the visual, the history, the humor, the richness of Richard's writing. Thank you. My view from DSM is that Reynolds is punitive toward cities. She seems to be winning, at this point, another successful long game-- this one against public education. Makes me sick.
Richard, Arizona's former governor, Doug Ducey, gave carte blanche to tax breaks to private schools, but successor Katie Hobbs is trying to delete the universal tax breaks from her proposed budget. Me thinks Republicans like private schools because they hate teacher unions, which endorse Democrats.
As a Minnesotan for half my life, I can tell you I far prefer ice fishing over mosquito/black fly infested summertime. It’s going with your favorite grown-up cousin when you are 10, and there’s a kerosine lamp bright enough to share reading books to each other while waiting for the line to jiggle!
The IRS agents in dark suits and sunglasses emerging from an Iowa corn field have gone poof! They’re as real as the ball players from Field of Dreams. I hope someone can explain how Republicans can threaten the world economy over the debt ceiling but aren’t interested in collecting revenue duly owed by wealthy Americans. It makes no sense.

Does any one have an idea why most Iowans vote Republican?
Why does Iowa vote Republican?

Onomatopoeia is the title of a John Prine song on his 1973 album Sweet Revenge. Good lyrics if you take a look at them.

Winter driving on 71 can be scary. Safe travels.

Lorena Bobbit
Anthony Weiner.
Go!
Scratch, huff

What the hell happened to Iowa? Good title, but I'm quite sure what it was.

I actually sat next to Omar Sharif in a Moscow hotel bar in 1985
