A Christian in Iowa
This past week has been an interesting week in Iowa. The Iowa House debated and passed a bill requiring a vote by the Citizens of Iowa regarding the issue of same-sex marriage. Former Senator Jeff Angelo spoke to the members of the House and told them of his change of view regarding that very issue. [...]
Idiots Out Wandering Around
IOWA – Idiots Out Wandering Around Sure, we all joke about it, but unfortunately, I have found the Iowans that are the Idiots Out Wandering Around and it is us! Yes, it is my community, my neighbors, my friends. All of us that live in the Time Check, Czech Village and Taylor neighborhoods, we are [...]
View from the River – Part 2
Tomorrow is the first day of winter. I am reminded of that as I walk the sidewalks covered with newly fallen snow. My footprints and those of an occasional animal are the only ones I see by the dimly lit street lights. What am I doing down here? Walking towards the river passing frozen yard [...]
Guest column: A view from the River
A blanket of white covers the yards and roads of an area which three years ago gave the look of a holiday season in full swing. Homes with decorations and lights adorned many. Chimneys expelled soft clouds of vapor into the winter sky. Snow plows cleared the streets passing by some homes dating back into [...]
Guest column: The middle class is not a bargaining chip
Over the past weeks the middle class has been held hostage by Chuck Grassley and his Republican colleagues in the Senate. Why? To stand with millionaires and billionaires. While thousands of Iowans braced for not only an immediate loss of unemployment benefits, but a tax increase in the new year, Republicans used them to get [...]
We’ll miss you, Elizabeth
The first time I had an opportunity to speak with Elizabeth Edwards was well before I returned to life as a reporter. We talked as you would imagine two mothers talking — about life, about our hopes for the future, about our children who remain with us and about our children who had died. When [...]
Most women wear many hats
I was struck late last week by the obituary of Mary E. Farnsworth, a former resident of Iowa City. As many obituaries tend to do, this one provides a glimpse into the life of a 91-year-old woman, who will no doubt be missed by her family and friends. “Mary was an avid reader, and a [...]
Things are changing around here
Not all the bells and whistles are in place yet — much less all the back content — but the move has been made. Be patient over the next few days and possibly even weeks as we continue to learn a new system. Hopefully the end result will be many more posts for you to [...]
A lesson in ‘family values’ from our northern neighbors
A Minnesota anti-abortion lawmaker has been stripped of his leadership position by the Republican caucus after being caught by police in a Planned Parenthood parking lot with a gun. No, it isn’t an Onion story. It truly happened — although the legislator in question, Rep. Tom Hackbarth of Bethel, Minn., says it was all just [...]
Harkin continues to work on behalf of women, fairness
Women throughout the nation can be very happy that Iowans are represented by U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin, who has continuously and tirelessly worked to close the gender pay gap. On Tuesday, Harkin, who leads the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), spoke on the floor of the U.S. Senate in support of [...]
