Yay Iowa! Now if only Jim Douglas of my home state of Vermont would suck it up and not veto VT’s gay marriage bill…

I was mainly just referring to the fact that Iowa produces a lot of corn, but yeah, you’re right, Nebraska is called the Cornhusker state while Iowa is the Tall Corn State. But tall corn still needs to be shucked!

And either way, that’s a pretty offensive error to someone from the Cornhusker State—we hate Iowa!

However, kudos to Iowa for making a move that Nebraska never will.

@EVERYONE

CYCLONES CYCLONES CYCLONES!!!  My dad is an alum and I know he would want his team recognized, smile

And yes, finally it has passed!  My friends up here at school in Minnesota are so happy, especially our gay friends.  It’s just too bad none of them want to live in Iowa, lol.
