A humorous columnist recounts firing a potato gun from a newspaper roof in a covert stunt with signage of danger. The piece lampoons public alarm, noting Barbie and Pop Tart tests and urging official outrage while dodging exact construction details.
A commentary on the Robert Sandifer case argues that crime prevention programs labeled pork could have redirected the boy away from a life of crime. It reflects on failures in family support and child welfare, noting two Chicago graves, Sandifer and Shavon Dean, and urges better intervention to spare similar futures.
Iowa Governor Branstad defends a four to five day trade mission to Japan to promote Iowa pork and business ties. Critics question campaign timing and cost though supporters say the trip is not politically motivated. The piece notes campaign events, forums, and related political context in Cedar Rapids and statewide. It also mentions Marcus third party bid, and Grassley Nussle NTU study.
Senator Grassley now ranks 96th of 100 in the National Taxpayers Union Foundation Votetally. He supported a bill, netting a $63.7 billion federal spending decrease after amendments, amid methodology changes following his 1991 complaint.
NTUF President David Keating says Votetally will reveal true costs of bills lawmakers sponsor or cosponsor. The system derives spending totals from independent sources and applies accounting rules to avoid double counting. The survey ranks lawmakers by net spending impact and aims to curb lobbyist influence.
