Drew does a nice job of explaining why dragging Mike Mauro into CIETC is silly and why Yepson stanks.
The Register goes over Ed Fallon’s latest ads. They have some cute ideas, but I’m not sure cute is what one looks for in a successful gubernatorial tv ad. Also, why are they only running on cable tv? That seems a little anti-Fallon to me.
The Quad-City Times reports on fifth-graders learning about death the hard way: “Feathery down flew as the hawk scarfed down the first duckling and supplemented its feast with two more.”
There’s some good news at least. 81% of this year’s corn is in the ground. (How on earth do they know that?)
Sure, it’s obvious from his record deficit that he’s a Bush crony, but now that Nussle is getting free publicity from Fox News this morning, it’s certifiable. This is from a campaign email a few days ago:
Watch Jim Nussle talk with E.D, Brian and Steve of FOX and Friends this Tuesday about his vision to make Iowa the Renewable Energy Capital of the World. Jim will discuss his bipartisan “Independence from Oil With Agriculture (IOWA) Act,” which helps ease prices at the pump for hard-working Iowans.
That’s at 7:30AM Central in case you want to watch him talk for a few minutes without being interrupted by difficult questions or by pesky Democrats who also happen to be running for Governor (and, in at least one case, who happen to be leading Nussle in the polls).
And although I’m sure this doesn’t come as a surprise to you, it might come as a disappointment. If you want to tell them what you think, email friends@foxnews.com or call 888 369 4762. And please, if you get a good response post it as a comment. I emailed about 36 hours ago and never got a response.
(Also feel free to email Jim Nussle and tell him how hokey you think naming a bill “the IOWA Act” is — especially just months ahead of the gubernatorial election.)
