Here’s the facts…. -Gas prices above $3 per gallon put a damper on our economy by directly taking money out of the pockets of consumers at the pump and by raising the price of goods and services. -We send hundreds of millions of dollars per day to countries that hate us, for oil, which is [...]

You want to know what the occupy movement is/was about? OWS was an orchestrated movement by the administration and their surrogates to build up rage going into an election year against the presumptive Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, whom they classify as the “wall street candidate”.

How about leaving the artists and musicians out too… They’re work is “ancillary and, in reality, totally unnecessary, to that purpose.”

The Cedar Rapids Airport is one of the most worthless airports in the nation. It is far too expensive to fly out of there for any normal consumer. Fly out of CR for $800 or drive an hour and fly out of the Quad Cities for $250? I could get a cab to Moline and [...]

Go Hawks! I see so much hand ringing about this, it drives me crazy.. You don’t think people might want to goto a school that’s known for partying? I went to Iowa, had an absolute blast, graduated and am doing just fine… The people that can’t handle it, maybe they’re not mature enough to be [...]

“Cedar Rapids, come smell our crunch berries while you’re getting a speeding ticket from a stupid camera.”

I was a Lions fan for all of the 90′s and a few years into the 2000′s… I definitely didn’t like Matt Millen! He is the reason I am no longer a Lions fan. So good move working in TV, I like you alot better here.

And PS, you’re right about Ferentz. Go Hawks!

I am sad to see the Wisconsin game off our schedule too.. I guess that means that we’ll just have to win the division so we have a chance to play them in the Championship game! Go Hawks!

What a bunch of drama queens… Comparing the use of uniforms in schools to oppressive socialist regimes is laughable.. Every school has a dress code. The biggest problem is a large majority of parents don’t take responsibility for their kids and make them abide by the supposed dress code. Have any of your driven by [...]

It’s called uncertainty.. Taxes, healthcare costs, commodity costs, new regulations… All uncertainties that makes a businessman question weather he wants to risk an investment into a business.

I would take any person on that stage over what we have now. Unemployment over 9%, possibility of QE3, gas teetering on $4, food prices soaring… When McDonalds and the government are the only ones creating jobs, we’re in serious trouble.

If the 5 season’s hotel is what their worried about, why in the world do we have to spend 10 million dollars to make the entire downtown a quiet zone, when we could just make the first avenue crossing a quiet crossing, and get 1 crossing guard for each direction? spend spend spend spend spend…. [...]

So, since you know SO MUCH Terry, let’s get a recommendation from you on a coach that we can pay $200,000 a year? HMM? How many three, four and five star kids will want to play for this no name… OK, so now lets say this no name some how gets some success. How long [...]

I guess if semantics helps you sleep at night…. But as far as I’m concerned your either for or against something. For abortion or against abortion…

Somebody want to talk about picking and choosing?! How’s this work for ya? “Against murder, don’t kill someone…”

OH WOW, I’M SHOCKED!!! A public pension fund that requires outside intervention…

Alot of people have brought up a good point… Where’s the traffic camera money? Why isn’t this being used?! Where is the money going? Why don’t the tax payers have a say?

Your reaction of calling people “heartless” is a tired fallacy, that is just plain naive.. It seems like every year this same vote has come up. If it wasn’t the flood wall, it was the city pools, or schools, etc… I’m 32 years old, and this LOST crap has been to a vote at least [...]

Did you get your smoking death numbers from the anti smoking campaign JEL?

Wow, a UI professor that’s liberal, and intolerant! I’m shocked!!
