It's worked wonders for me, trading a little salary in a meaningless grind of a job into public service.

First you're assuming facts not in evidence, and now you're assuming children.

Isn't her ability to do that job predicated on her successful position in her community, through cultural traditions and - I know this is a stretch! - being human?

Agreed. The plutonic ideal of soda delivery. My moderately spicy take is that it's superior even to the fountain.

I used to drive to the Muskie Fareway for glass longnecks of Pepsicola. Sadly they quit carrying it, but 12oz bottles of Mexican Coke products have become more widely available.

You know, I take pride in being a politician. This sort of reflexive cynicism, and specifically the denial electeds are people with our own backgrounds and lives, is an ingredient in the toxic stew driving good people from service. Most of us work weekends, too.

That's certainly worthy of further investigation; god knows we've suffered enough disasters that FEMA is busy in these parts.

As a progressive county-level official, I regret to inform you the answer is no. We already reached out to USDA.

My education and experience prior to my election is journalism and PR. It isn't the right question, who will get fair treatment. The better question is how will you respond given the circumstances.

I think - and I speak as a low level local elected official - it's unrealistic and unreasonable to expect "fair" treatment from the press. Is it bullshit? Sure, but bitching about it is as much a solution as farting into the wind.

Amazing they won themselves a mulligan by virtue of publishing a semi realistic goal and then taking the chip shot into the sea.

I got this guy from the pound at 2, introduced him to the sheep and fowl at 3, and marched in a protest at 7. Now he's getting treats at the brewery.

In non judicial crisis news, I have a pupdate: The pound called, they're full up and expect an influx of strays over the holiday due to fireworks. "Could you come today?" Didn't have to ask me twice!

At some point — soon, even today perhaps — Democrats are going to have to pick up the weapons the court is putting on the table. Unilateral disarmament leads only to utter defeat.

What has the Biden Administration done for ME?? Well, here in Johnson County, just like all across Iowa, the answer may surprise you! Over $248 MILLION invested in 107 projects DIRECTLY BENEFITING our local towns, cities, and county! Oh, by the way, Rep. MMM voted against these funds.

Erin Farquhar's post about new Iowa law that criminalizes full consumable hemp products for kids is resonating with many people.
It's already the most-viewed Bleeding Heartland post published this year and by tomorrow could be most-viewed in site history.

I'd suggest you check your nose, then. I defined "decent folk" as exclusive of fascists and authoritarians. As an elected official, I authored and passed a ceasefire resolution in February, after publicly calling for one on 1 November. x.com/modestholdin...
