Omaha's Action 3 News

This lovely reporter from Action 3 News in Omaha has apparently never been to a real rural area.

Break in at the Iowa GOP Headquarters?

Political subterfuge is alive and well in Iowa! It seems that someone apparently broke into the Iowa Republican party headquarters. You can read the entire article at the Sioux City Journal, but this post is longer than that. The Iowa GOP is being very subdued about the whole matter.

My original thought was that this "crime" was the work of the Democratic Underground.

But then, it occurred to me that it might be the Republican Underground trying to make it look like the work of the Democrats.

But, that didn't seem to make much sense, so I figured it had to be a group of terrorists trying to find out as much as they could about the Iowa GOP plan for combating terrorism.

Then it came to me: the people who broke into the Iowa GOP Headquarters are "Gay Russian Communists" who want to get married in Iowa!

A Good Time Was Had by All

What an exciting New Year's Eve for PJ and I! She wandered off to bed about 9:15 last night, while I watched the tele. As i was getting ready to turn it off, I picked up my cell phone to check out the time. 11:59 pm CST. What was I to do? I could lay it down, turn off the tv and go to sleep or wait for the magical moment that it transported me into a new decade. I decided to wait for that moment. It was kind of like waiting for toast to pop up; I waited and waited and waited, then, in a flash, it said Fri. Jan 1.

That's when I rolled over and went sleep.

Now for a few leftover things from 2009:

A woman in South Dakota was arrested for DUI. That in itself is unremarkable. The fact that her blood alcohol was .708 is, however. She also missed her court appearance and was found in a stolen vehicle. The story from the Star Tribune is here.

Last year I also maintained my status with some hotel/motel chain reward programs as an elite member. I feel a bit like George Clooney in "Up in the Air".



But I do not consider my time at home "miserable" and I did not follow (or lead) any women into hotel rooms!
