    Someone needs to jot a brief note to the Iowa republican party (or dare I say libertarian party) telling them that there will be a seat easy for the plucking if they just get off their fat useless asses and take it. I'm a Californian (I know! You can stop laughing now) but I'm going to send money to whomever runs against this yutz during the next election cycle!

    If only there was a constitutional Amendment that protected our rights to keep and bare arms.

    Honestly, this level of incompetence is what I deal with every day living in the North East.
