Cycles

People who live in Iowa are like certain species of insects that appear in biological cycles. Most of the time, they wander around their cornfields, quietly muttering their prayers, and no one beyond the state borders gives a damn what they think or do. They might as well be in a dormant state.

Then, for about six months every four years, Iowans suddenly emerge into the light of day, and we're bombarded with news stories about their opinions -- which worthless Republican asshole is popular this week, and why. We're reminded that many, if not most, Iowans vote for president based on their religious beliefs.

Personally, I'm tired of hearing about what Iowa thinks and will be glad when they cycle back into their dormant stage.
