This year has given us the strangest weather in my memory. You all have gotten a ton of rain. I get my water from a well two blocks from the river. I'ld have to be very hungry to eat a fish out of it. We Iowans send all of our run-off nitrates south to the gulf. We have created a gigantic oxygen-free zone there. I'ld bet there is not a well along the Mississippi that could pass an EPA nitrate test. Thanks for the welcome, DD.

I had this right wing dr. friend for years. One day, I think he was listening to rush and he starts on this harangue about how no one owns the rivers. The real aim was to attack the EPA of course.

The shite we put in our rivers up here in Minnesota ends up in your water supply.

Amazing how the right takes green ideas and turn them into right wing garbage.

The winds and the rain and some snow up here...winter is knocking on the door.

Have a nice week end Chuck. I am so glad you came to this site!!!

God! I get so depressed reading these posts! Oh well, Iowa vs. Michigan State game came out okay. That should make you happy for me, DD. By the way, would you PLEASE quit sending your water down here! The river has been high since this spring!

“Politicians are a set of men who have interests aside from the interests of the people and who, to say the most of them, are, taken as a mass, at least one long step removed from honest men”

An empty wooden box seems an adequate replacement for many of our congresspersons, Mr. Smith. It knows how to just sit there silent while having plenty of room to hold corporate cash.

I was curious, so I did a g**gle search for "House of Representatives hopper", and found a couple different ones, including this one:

Evidently, the career of a hopper is short. For example, the one pictured on that site was only used for 12 years. Now, I understand, it's retired with full health care coverage for Life, and a 100% pension, and is thinking about running for the Senate. It's going to run as bi-partisan, since it supported bills from both sides of the aisle.

Well isn't that just

Well isn't that just ducky!!!!

The corporate oligarchy writes the damn bill, and no one is accountable for voting for it.
