This actually doesn't surprise me as being an Iowan and moving back really has been a major disappointment. We have a white nationalist Congressman in northwest Iowa, a cheating whore for a Governor, and a now a Senator who loves the Confederate flag and all that it represents. Iowa Nice is totally a farce. I would love to put up billboards in the Des Moines metro, Iowa City and the Quad Cities showing which companies supported Steve King... I've been boycotting anything produced in northwest Iowa and specifically Blue Bunny ice cream. The billboards probably wouldn't make a difference but it would make me smile every day on my way to work

I still get the urge to move out of Iowa, especially when our resident blow holes Kim, Steve, or Joni do something fucking stupid.

I join in much or your sentiment. Iowa's change to Io-Missi-Bam-wa started with the re-emergence of the cancer called Branstad. I mean the whole state.

The NW has always been like a different world. JD Scholten almost, almost took him out.

Mrs. Lib and I have been strongly considering leaving Iowa for several years. Iowa is, as you say, no longer the 'nice' place it once was.

Don't forget staying out of Pizza Ranch, where they play Chistian music while you eat.

Or just how to castrate pigs?

....ah never mind.
