Democrats hope to dethrone Rep. Steve King in Iowa

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) is the archetypal conservative culture warrior, driving critics crazy because he is so unabashed in his views, no matter how extreme or isolating. King, for example, was the only one of 535 members of Congress, in 2009 to vote against a plaque recognizing slaves who helped build the Capitol.

I’m giving money to Christie and if you value sanity you should, too.

My Bloody Valentine - “Only Shallow”

Gather ‘round, kids! It’s storytime!

The first time I heard My Bloody Valentine’s “Loveless” was evening in Colorado September 12, 2008. I hated it.

My friends and I decided to go to this music festival at Red Rocks over a school weekend. I was the only one who had the vehicle, and the only one who didn’t tell his parents that he was driving from Iowa to Colorado and then Colorado to Iowa over the span of four days during school. If I had, we obviously would not have gone.

In Nebraska, my 1995 Nissan Sentra developed problems. So the rest of the way we could only go 55 miles per hour and there was a rainstorm when we got into Colorado.

That was the setting I first heard My Bloody Valentine. It was horrible.

Now? Now I listen to this album at work or put it on as background music when I’m taking care of things at home.

Life changes. 

I’ve only been to the one in Rock Island but if I could live in La Rancherita I would. That’s the first place I had horchata and I would seriously give up a digit on one of my little fingers to have an unlimited free lifetime supply of that stuff.
