The Secretary of Agriculture and the FDA need to encourage the family farm, not the factory farm.

My "type"? You mean the middle class, tax paying type? The type that would rather spend my tax money on public works projects in my home state rather than some other state? That must be the "smart type". Only a fool would want his home state to suffer due to some ridiculous, misplaced frugality.

Oh, and thanks for the math lesson, Pythagoras. You must be clairvoyant to know both the "flood schedule" AND the repeated cost of missed classes, man hours, lost instruments, lost art, lost students due to stinking mildew infested facilities... I'm sure you're an expert on toxic mold too.

Still come out ahead? Are you sure about that? How much is the lost time worth? What is avoiding the possibility of toxic mold worth? What is having a building you can be proud of worth?

I pay federal taxes too and I'd rather see them spent in Iowa.

So it's requiring more than a power wash?

Rebuilding and repairing a heavily damaged building that is likely to flood again (every 20 years you say?) is not frugal. It's stupid.

From the article above:
"The complex was damaged to a level that led the Federal Emergency Management Agency to designate it eligible for replacement"

I'm sure you're right that it really wasn't damaged that bad. It was only a 500 year flood.

Link to footage of crews power washing Hilton?

It has to do with the level of damage it sustained.
I'm sorry if that doesn't fit into your conspiracy theory.

Funny but the Omaha Weird Harold didn't mention the upcoming Iowa game in the paper yesterday in the "next week's big games section"????

Must have slipped their minds.

That IS the good stuff. Made in Templeton Iowa no less!

Foles and Stanzi are similar.... They both have horrible hair.
