And they wonder why young people leave Iowa....

You know, I am a big booster of Iowa, ala distance. I think it's a great place to come from, and a great place to raise a family. If I'm away from there long enough, I even daydream about what it would be like to go back there to live.

But then I run up against reality, and a good example of why I don't live in Iowa is US Congressman Steve King

This guy is a joke. An embarassment to a state that has an exemplary public education system. A stuffed shirt, strawman, doofus of a representative. And he's from Iowa.

So the next time I get a letter from the University of Iowa's alumni association, asky why young people leave Iowa after getting their education, I shall know what to do. I will refer them to the offices of Congressman King.
