I was so shocked and so excited when I woke up to the news of that this morning!
What a pleasant surprise, straight from the Heartland!
Pom, I did a double-take when I saw it. Unbelievable!
Chell, get busy up there in the gods’ own country! We can’t be beat by a ragged bunch of Iowans

YAY! Yet another win for those who are on the side of sense!

Brainwise, I’m a little amazed too. Iowa of all places! So if things go well, we’ve got the goals of the Constitution fully supported on both coasts and in the heartland. I really hope this begins a domino effect.
Hee, hee. OK. Too funny!
Again, totally off topic (sorry) but you’ve just received an award
Congratulations, Pom! It’s difficult to imagine anything more important when you’re a parent than being a good one. The children always come first.
And thank you for nominating me. I’m touched. I don’t think I’ve been paid higher praise than to mark me as honorable.
