I’d say this worked out pretty well for the groom.

“No one in this family asked me to reconsider. They all said, ‘We know that you will do what you have to do,’” King said. “So I call it full-family support and full understanding. As I said, the best thing that I could give them would be to preserve the freedom that I was born into and be able to pass that along to any children that they will be blessed with.”

Shorter King: They didn’t want me there so much anyway.

I lived in Iowa for 40 years and was and am ashamed to see our “leaders” like King and Grassley sell out the public – although I now live in Kentucky, and have to deal with McConnell, Bunning, and Blue Dog Ben Chandler. Sheesh.

King’s base is the Dutch Reformed community in Northwest Iowa. They are to the right of him.

I grew up in Council Bluffs, IA, which is the largest city in Steve King’s CD. On a recent trip back I asked my relatives (I have a huge extended family, first cousins in the high double digits) if they voted for King. Only one out of about 60 even knew who he was. The one that knew him hated him and said he never publicly campaigns in the area only private church teas by invitation only. So he has the bible thumpers locked up.

I have never had the day off either. I still fit into my uniform, though, so that’s something.

I’m more concerned that if Greek-guys with thick beards equal Al Qaeda it’ll be very very bad for Zach Galifianakis’s career.

The Holocost Museum shooter was named James Von Brunn. Sounds Austrian to me. We need to check Austrians for their Nazi affiliations. Oh wait being a nazi is OK.

By the way, how soon before Arianna Huffington gets assaulted because someone thinks she sounds like Al Qaeda?
