Don't worry, they'll be eclipsed by all the cannabis tourism you're about to get. :)

Wow, I can't imagine why any of you would spend your God-given time and energy on knocking Sarah Palin. Yeah, a lot of people do like her, but she isn't THAT big a deal. Gee-whiz, get a life!

"she can’t seem to remember all the reasons why it’s fun to visit Iowa in the first place."

Why, for all those American monuments silly! World's biggest free range deer! Probably world's largest ear of corn, and world's largest Runza.

Sarah who?

It's Merican. I've seen it on various Jewish tombstones while doing genealogical research. I can only imagine where the name comes from, but I have to imagine someone's reply to "What's your name" was "I'm A merican"

This is a common misconception. If you go to a site and don't click on a link, your time at the site is simply how long it took to download the page. which is measured in milliseconds.

Actually, it is very common to have javascript snippets that measure the total time spent with a page loaded, how far down the page was scrolled, and even how long certain areas of the page were in the visible window...

Publishers are obsessive about finding out what we all do on their sites. Trust me, I married one.

Why do Minnesotans smile when there is lighting? They think their getting their picture taken!....flows south..........ha ha ha ha.

Why does the University of Minnesota have artificial turf on its football field? So their cheerleaders won't graze!......we can do this all day.....

Oh yes, Sarah Palin is an idiot!

Because she makes it so incredibly easy to fuck with her. An idiot like her only comes along once every other generation.

Hi Backlash!

Bye Backlash!

Thanks for sparing us your usual 300 word rant on Jeebus. I mean, this comment, from the Daily Clash, was MUCH more fun:

Let it be said, ISLAM IS CRAP, a made up religion by a power-hungry sociopathic pedophile misogynist. Islam has been at war with the Christians, and everyone else for 1400 years.

My bad. I'm from Nebraska. I assumed they'd spread into Iowa. So Nebraska has both Ruzna and Carhenge? Wow, we have it so much better than those Iowans!

I just throw them at my screen. It's expensive, but it's worth it.
