Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I can't look at the fat animals -- it's too close to animal abuse, IMHO.
Fred Pete, I'd go for a rotating "first in the nation" awarded by lottery or whatever. After all, state committees would have four years or more to prepare to handle the attention.

It sounds like both of the fat animals got fat in the wild.
If any other state wants 14 months of umpteen candidates harassing them, you're welcome to it.
Monique - my words and tone were off ... I meant no aspersions on your state ... just tiring of the "decision for america" loglo.
all just shy of implying the other candidates ate babies for fun.
ah, the lovely Sheila D. for mayor phone ads. Love how all of them cut in about 1/3 of the way through the greeting too. That's quality.
Yes. For all values of crazy = awesome!!
Not crazy! It could be really interesting and it's useful work!
Hmm.Maybe I'll actually look into it.
Spiney Norman!
Monique - my words and tone were off ... I meant no aspersions on your state ... just tiring of the "decision for america" loglo.Oh no, that's OK. I should have clarified. I actually see both sides of this. I know Iowa is sorta white-ish in the grand scheme of things. When we're feeling defensive, though, we like to claim that we take the responsibility pretty seriously and are fairly well aware of the issues at hand.
In reality, though, at least until this year it is largely older white folks who caucus. And in the rural areas, it's older, white conservative religious folks, which likely explains Huckabee. I think this year might see a change, though. It's crazy intense here, more so than I ever remember it being, and almost every time a Hilary or Obama supporter has called, it's sounded like a college kid.
In the end, I'm just tired of the throngs of people after my vote. Obama & Crew has been relentless for the past 9 months, sending me things three times a week, calling, asking why I didn't watch the DVD that I was sent (my response: "I didn't realize there was homework."). Just ... leave me be, people! It probably makes me sound like some crazy anti-American or something, but I can't wait to eat my dinner in peace!
I'm only 32 and I hate those freaking "Oh, you mean 29 for the fourth time?" people! No! I mean 32! What the hell is wrong with 32!?!
When I turned 35, some wag was all, "Wait, don't you know you aren't supposed to ADMIT that??? You're 29 again!" and I gave them a blank stare and said, "No, actually, I know how to COUNT past 29. I'm 35."
"Geez, I'm just *joking!*"
I didn't reply, "No, you aren't, because jokes are *funny*," although I figured that, as the birthday girl, if I wanted to keep being a jerk, I would have been entitled to.
If you've been bugged to death by Obama and Clinton folks, this sounds like a good argument for voting for Edwards.
Signed, really wants to see Edwards take Iowa.
"I didn't realize there was homework."
Snap! When your political candidate starts to come across as a stalker boyfriend, it's time for something to give.
Makes me glad that I'm in a state with a primary so late it doesn't matter how I vote!
My salad was delicious but, of course since I've been eating so much over the holidays, I'm totally hungry again now.
