Whereโs the outrage?
Retired curmudgeon and proud graduate of Iowa State University. I love smoking salmon, cheese, and oysters and mussels. I restore cast iron cookware and give most of it to my neighbors. Proudly woke. Not always right, but never in doubt.

WTF??? I went to Iowa State University in the 1980s and worked at the Memorial Union with many from different lands and cultures. It was a fantastic experience that I shared with others at the time. I know things have changed, but radicalized?

Big sigh. Watch this. Can you see why the Yankeesโ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting? No one wished death on this man, but what weโre seeing right now is too f*cking much.
