When we hosted both first-in-nation primaries it was bc we were a purple state & thought to reflect everyday voters. But u could have googled that. When ppl insult IA, the South, shithole countries it's all the same elitism. We're victims here. Check out our cancer rate from farm runoff. To feed YOU

Iowan here. Guess you traveled the back roads bc have more than 10 people, including the ones who put food on your plate. We are home of ADA sponsor Tom Harkin and the only state to welcome the Tai Dam refugees. Iowa no longer hosts the first dem primaries, only GOP. Yr post's not elitist at all.

Who are you serving, NPR? Not a single state wants a Minneapolis-style occupation. The federal funding is not coming back any time soon, and you can't court Fox News sponsors and "listeners like me" at the same time.

Not for nothing but if I got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer today, I wouldn't do a damn thing about it but walk around with a little smile on my face

Oh wow, I never caught her name before or saw a picture that didn't look like it was taken by a deer cam where you could actually tell what she looks like. I really didn't care before, but now I might...hate her? Get over yourself.

Omg I'm so hashtag-blessed to have never given the NYT one red cent - and to know that I never will!

I think it's irresponsible that Salon published all the names and home addresses of every CEO of a major health insurance company in this article, but it's also refreshing.
