This bill would not hold up in court. Democracy isn’t easy folks. But openness must be defended.

@JoeBiden It honestly feels like we need national airlines, run by the federal government. The feds' track record could scare people, but so does taking two days to make simple trips by plane because these companies are not staffed or run well.

. @ChadLeistikow does a good job of assessing departing University of Iowa AD Gary Barta's record. But I would have skipped the "family man" stuff. This guy is a disgrace and the university stood by him way too long. Details below.

This has never been an easy issue. What is a waterway? How often must it have water to qualify as a waterway? Which waters are significant enough to be protected? In the drained prairie of Iowa, this is a big issue. And the environmentalists lost.

Here is proof of Iowa's low risk of earthquakes. Fortunately for the chambers of commerce, this graphic doesn't get into tornadoes, derechos, ice storms, floods, mosquitos, Lyme disease, a four-year plague of wandering politicians, or corn rootworm.

More pressure on a mouthy but well-informed scientist/blogger who riles up farm interests by telling the truth about Iowa's ag-related pollution. This kind of stuff has gone on in Iowa for decades. Look up my "Ag Scientists Feel the Heat" series.

@TommyBirch @Krumm_A_Licious @cconnolly_23 @voiceofcohen Heard you on the radio yesterday. Nice job and thanks for your perspectives! Happy anniversary!

On this day a year ago, @Krumm_A_Licious and I had a rare middle of the day off together. So, we decided to get some breakfast, go to the courthouse and get married.
Best spur of the moment decision I’ve ever made. Thanks again to @cconnolly_23 and @voiceofcohen for helping!

Hey CNN and everybody else: What's happening in the skies are "near-hits" not "near-misses." As George Carlin said, a collision is a "near-miss."
