I really think I should insist that ISU changes it to Super Intelligence as a bit. No one would believe that I am serious, but I'd make them say out loud that this is stupid.

The *only* thing the Iowa State Fair does better than Minnesota is having candidates wander around. It is good to know that Texas is a bottom feeder at this as well.

The levels to this. The sweaty panic. The random bigotry. The solution of having Trump campaign more. It warms my cold, dead Iowa heart.

So, are the snipers going to always be there? Are we going to hire a bunch of people to take turns sitting on top of this thing? Can they read or fuck around on their phone while sitting up there?

When I started at A&M, everyone in ROTC had to be in the Corps, but a small fraction of the Corps was ROTC. Then a couple of actual vets who were enlisted and served in the GWOT came and refused to let some bullshit 21-year old who was never going to serve make them do push ups. Alums were pissed.
