I would take offense to your "corn farmer" statement except for the fact that I have a cow for my profile picture. In that case, I should thank you.

I would only add I am willing to be derisive in a friendly sort of way to the other forty eight states as well.

Nothing personal with Iowa!

THE TIMES are nightfall, look, their light grows less;
The times are winter, watch, a world undone:
They waste, they wither worse; they as they run
Or bring more or more blazon man’s distress.
And I not help. Nor word now of success:
All is from wreck, here, there, to rescue one—
Work which to see scarce so much as begun
Makes welcome death, does dear forgetfulness.
Or what is else? There is your world within.
There rid the dragons, root out there the sin.
Your will is law in that small commonweal…

I am a city slicker myself, but I have many "corn farmer"(who feed the world) friends and will stand up on their behalf and remind you that every "corn farmer" vote is just as important as any New York lawyer (who probably ate something with corn in it for lunch today) vote!

HA! Correction: every "corn farmer" vote is at least twice as important as any New York lawyer (who probably ate a client with corn in them for lunch today) vote!

P.S. Psst! Miserere, Iowans are like northern Southerners - stick with deriding north atlantic & western pacific states and you'll be on safe ground around here!
