Well, yeah, aren’t you?

Seventeen percent are undecided between Trump and Cllinton? He leads by double digits in the under 50 age group? Because he hasn’t said enough offensive things? How can anyone be undecided when he’s insulted the disabled, veterans, women, minorities, and encouraged violence? How can any rational person be on the fence at this point? Who else can he possibly offend? Who else can he make them fear?

And to top it off, thirty six percent have no opinion on Congress stalling on the Supreme Court? Fucking read a paper, get decided on something.

Don’t most polls disagree? Does the fact that 30-35% of voters in New Jersey support Trump make you afraid to travel in NJ?

Well, yeah, but none of them ever take public transit so do I ever have to deal with them?

Since there’s no public transportation in Iowa, won’t you have the same protection there?

Isn’t the only Iowa-phobia with any real foundation the fear of boredom?

You’re actually afraid of the midwest? Can you articulate any of it?

Don’t I wax rhapsodic about watching thunderstorms build up all day long on the flatish land, when I get the chance? Is that perhaps nostalgia for a childhood that afforded such day-long leisure masquerading as love-for-country?

No, I’m annoyed with the Midwest’s fear, not that they’re troglodytes, is that clearer?

Hey, all you Iowa weirdos, where’s the best place for lunch in Iowa City? This job is a disaster and won’t I have time for a long, long lunch today as a result?

Probably too late to be useful, and most of the restaurants I knew when I was there have probably long gone, but I think The Sanctuary is still there and their beer selection is quite good, as are their sandwiches; do you like beer and sandwiches?

Iowa is a bastion of moderation…can’t you see this is just a coastal caricature, no closer to reality than Midwestern caricatures of New Yorkers? Aren’t we all Bozos on the same bus?

Isn’t it a shame this is no longer a problem and any game thread collecting these perfectly-timed moments will be shut down and lost, like tears in the rain?
