Congratulations to Mount Mercy University for being the first and only university in Cedar Rapids and the newest Catholic university in the United States. Great school. Great mission.

What are they suppose to think about this? Black mark on Regina for sure.

NONE, and I mean NONE of the Supes will make re-election - particularly the OLD guard of baron, houser, etc. You can book that. HUGE money and public opinion county wide going against them.

Much more exposure and good for the city and good for a great Cedar Rapidian.

That really provides more excitement.

I thought Ben had more integrity than that. The revolt against long time political blowhards is real and it cannot only be felt in the most liberal state in the Union as Massachusetts - it will be felt in Linn County soon. The do-nothing BOS will be gone.

That is a major felony crime. Can you please not sugar coat it as anything else. She is going to prison for a very long time.

C'mon maaaan...... Mon, 7 Dec 2009 05:59:25 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/the-hlog/2009/12/06/hlas-column-bowl-pairings-should-fill-iowa-with-gratitude#IDComment46126039 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/the-hlog/2009/12/03/mid-day-questions-to-you-about-fiesta-bowl-tiger-and-life-its-ownself#IDComment45725506 I think Fiesta takes PSU. Iowa goes to Florida. I think Stevie (Tiger's caddy) has quite a few stories he could tell, don't you? And about life. This is my mantra: To me, it’s a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, “Hey, can you give me a hand?” You can say, “Sorry, got these sacks.” Thu, 3 Dec 2009 20:49:19 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/the-hlog/2009/12/03/mid-day-questions-to-you-about-fiesta-bowl-tiger-and-life-its-ownself#IDComment45725506 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/the-hlog/2009/11/23/mid-day-questions-for-you#IDComment44479037 OK - here are some answers: OSU loss stings no matter what. The Sugar Bowl gets first pick in the BCS "draft" this year. They will get the Florida/Bama loser for sure. Next pick is the Fiesta this year - I think they take the winner of the Cincy/Pitt game. The Orange automatically gets the Georgia Tech/Clemson winner. And gets the next first pick after the BCS championship teams are taken care of. I think they take Iowa to play GTECH probably. That leaves TCU-Cincy in the Fiesta. And finally Sugar gets the very last pick and goes Boise to play the Bama/Florida loser. Oklahoma will always go bowling ahead of ISU. Always. Although I have Sooners in the Texas Bowl and ISU headed back to beautiful Shreveport to get pounded by a very good Arkansas team. And, I'm watching the impressive Texans tonight over the Texas scrimmage against Iowa.

Oh, for the days of Mayor Don Canney, who probably did more for this city than any government leader in our lifetime. Suffice to say, Canney had 0 open houses for public input.

How many "incompetent" calls does it take to make up for a 22-point "beat down?"

Think one of the Supes gave someone a heads up on what number they needed to come in on to win this worthless project? Hmmmmm. Also, how much would you like to wager that the "study" will recommend going back to the AOB? These corrupt individuals are spending our tax money to jerry rig a decision to fit their agenda - so they can garner millions of dollars more of our tax money to go back to their new AOB "castle" on the river. Will someone please stop this mess!!!

If a reporter with guts wants the real story hear about sleaze ball politics, they will get out of their office and expose this. This is terrible.
