The recent floods came at the worst possible time for Iowa's economy, with the national economy already in peril . However, not all of Iowa's economic troubles are attributable to outside forces. As it turns out, wasteful spending and corporate handouts continue to plague Iowa's already struggling financial infrastructure - the result of legislation drafted within the state's own borders.

For as much rancor and debate as the Second Amendment has caused over the years, few realized the Supreme Court had never once in its history heard a case which asked them to define its meaning.
Last Thursday, the court ruled in District of Columbia et al.

The presumptive Democratic nominee, Sen. Barack Obama, came out in support of a House bill this week that would grant immunity to telecommunications companies that participated in warrantless wiretaps. This is a poor decision and a step in the wrong direction for a candidate who suggests that he is representative of a change in government.

That time of the year is upon us again. It's that dreaded week where young adults from all over the country trek to a small plot outside Bushnell to camp out and listen to the live bands at the Cornerstone Festival.

Two of the June 26 Supreme Court rulings - both decided 5-4, with the same alignment of justices - concerned the Constitution's first two amendments. One ruling benefits Barack Obama by not reviving the dormant debate about gun control. The other embarrasses John McCain by underscoring discordance between his deeds and his promises.

Finally, Iowa has joined the ranks. This day could not have come soon enough for me.
Last fall, I had my first truly enjoyable pub experience. The music was fantastic, the company entertaining and the brew a treasure for the palate.
And it wasn't even my 21st birthday.

Last week, I was sitting on a blanket at Jazz in June enjoying the nice weather, friends and a little background music. With thousands of people milling about, it's easy to tune out the crowd. But when two people wearing "Decline to Sign" t-shirts showed up, the affirmative action debate reached my little blanket.

The other morning I woke up to my new puppy, Penny, licking my toes, trying to wake me up to take her outside. I smirked and petted her for a second, and then leaned off the bed to put my slippers on.
