    Rural Voters Are More Progressive Than the Democratic Party Thinks

    This is mostly a manufactured grievance. In three years of living in the Seattle-Tacoma metro, I never once heard anyone refer to the Plains or Midwest as "flyover country".

    Ed Podolak transitioning out of role as Iowa football radio color commentator

    To be fair, I watched Iowa's offense all season, and it would have been extremely difficult to find the words to accurately describe what I was seeing.

    Ed Podolak transitioning out of role as Iowa football radio color commentator

    At least Ed will say what he's actually thinking part of the time. That may not be tolerated as well from his replacement.

    Cade Borud

    He was really good in high school vs. big DL and smaller athletic types. He's probably one of Iowa's top two OL when he arrives. Anytime you can replace the weakest link of a unit, the unit gets much better. One more good portal lineman and Iowa's OL could be average, which would be a tremendous...

    Have you been called for Jury Duty?

    Called once, but I they filled the jury before I was even interviewed. I wouldn't have been seated anyway. I found out the next day that I worked with a witness. It was a domestic situation and my coworker lived across the street from the defendant.

    He has the latitude to feign ignorance and compare apples to oranges to arrive at whatever outcome he desires.

    Eldora teen found dead, 12-year-old taken into custody

    Too bad there wasn't a good 10-year old with a gun nearby or this could have been avoided.

    moron of the day (MOTD)

    This is probably another one of those instances where someone steals a vehicle because they intend to commit another crime and they don't want it to be traced back to their own vehicle.

    WTF? Baseball version

    That's similar to how my first varsity start when I was in 9th grade. I got absolutely pummeled. But the kid on the other team who went on to play in the Minors for a few years crushed by fastballs foul, and I'm not sure they ever landed. I just threw him something a little slower to strike him...

    WTF? Baseball version

    If that's what a pitcher needs to do to get someone out, they should maybe go down to AAA for a spell and work on their stuff.

    Our political leaders sometimes are idiots

    I think that she was trying to say that the moon is made of cheese, and eating too much cheese gives her gas. But seriously, a couple of the kids who got Ds in my Astronomy class last semester would listen to her saying that the moon is made of gases and say WTF.

    Abortion law of 1864 in Arizona upheld via AZ Supreme Court.

    The GOP was only 10 years old at that point. If they aren't careful, they will regress themselves right out of existence.

    State Senator Janice Weiner proposes $5 million to study Iowa's soaring cancer rates. Io

    Radon is related to glaciation. Pleistocene ice sheets plucked off chunks of Canadian rock containing uranium and randomly deposited them in Iowa when they melted. The radioactive uranium decays into dense radon gas. But the random nature of glacial deposits is why radon levels are so random...

    Elizabeth Warren for President

    Glad you have standards about lying and finishing careers with all-time flameouts. Does this mean you're not going to cast a vote for Trump?
