January 19, 2004, Iowa Caucuses in Bloom: 12:15 EST (or thereabouts)
The Quad-City Times (the Quad Cities, IIRC, being Moline, Davenport, Bettendorf and... Rock Island?) gives us this wonderful piece on yesterday's Kerry rally in Newton, featuring this gem:
When a woman in the audience asked why he would make a better president than Edwards, Kerry quipped that when he had returned from a tour of duty in Vietnam in 1969, “I’m not sure that John Edwards was out of diapers.”
He later qualified his statement saying the difference between he and Edwards was the “level of preparedness and experience.”
Moving on over to the Waterloo Courier, we get this nice round-up of campaign events, including reports on the four horsemen (er, front-runners) campaign tours of Northeastern Iowa. Rev. Jesse Jackson, Jr. is campaigning for Dean, Teddy Kennedy for his junior senator, and of course, Jimmy Carter, praying for victory I suppose with Howard Dean (regular commenter Muggsy advises that Dr. Judy Steinberg is now Mrs. Judy Dean, and has let another doctor be on call for her practice for a few hours while she campaigns with her husband; things must really be desperate for the former Vermont governor).
From the Western part of the State, the Council Bluffs Daily Nonpareil (what a great name) gives us this article on Iowa Congressman Jim Nussle's speech to Iowans noting that all the Democratic candidates want to do is raise taxes. Well, golly gee, Congressman, if you and your Republican cronies would stop spending so damned much of our taxpayer money and forcing us into deficits, maybe we wouldn't need to raise taxes. Of course, probably 50 people in Iowa per year might have estates large enough to be subject to tax ("repeal the death tax") and not too many, methinks, would be at that magic $300,000 annual income level that would actually be adversely affected by a repeal of the Bush tax cuts. But you tell, 'e Congressman. Also from the Nonpareil, this report on Howard Dean's appearance at Wilson Jr. H.S.(hint: Dean sounded very angry about Bush) and there are other articles noting Girl Scout troops sending cookies to our Gulf based troops and Max Cleland supporting fellow 'Nam war vet Kerry if you click around.
The Unseen Editor sends us this Daily Kos piece rounding up poll data (his composite gives Dean a lead, though shows the definitive Kerry surge); at this point, the savy Kos tells us what matters is who shows up to caucus: the coveted Gephardt and Dean "ground games" will, or will not, prove decisive.
Keep the faith; keep logging in, for all of your Iowa caucus needs, as observed best (from a guy in an office at a computer 1,000 miles away!)

Thank you for your recent admonishment & suggestion to keep it clean. With your trash mouth? To Mr. Krautwiener-thank you for your suggestion that I do drugs, but I don't need them. Our friends say that me and Binky live on love.
Prediction on today's Caucus "Winner"
It will be a loser with nice hair.
Uhh, not you Sharpton.

I am in a moral quandry.
My friend searches for http://www.any1in.us/parental-control.html parental control on google to screen potential roommates.
He found any1in.us , but did not visit.
I, on the other hand, searched for http://detectives.any1in.us/kinship.html kinship and found any1in.us.
I went there and found that http://www.any1in.us/encrypt.html encrypt were easier to find than on google.
Should I tell him that his potential roommate is a http://www.any1in.us/spyware-software.html spyware software ?

Excellent, let me know how it works. I'll add methods for retrieving the rest of your collection too (not just the currently reading and favorite books) as well, so that might be a better option than creating xml feeds for each of these things.
