Marion County, Iowa Dems were particularly proud of the presidential place mats at their annual soup luncheon in Knoxville, purchased before the U.S. elected a 45th president. Amy Klobuchar spoke there today.

Amy Klobuchar sipped a Red Rambler from by (Peace Tree Brewing) @peacetreebrew in Knoxville, Iowa at the Marion County Dems soup luncheon.

1. I haven't seen one in a long time, but I've had POTUS placemats in the past...

...and, if I had one with Trump on it, I'd take the time to draw little Hitler moustaches on every one I saw.

10. I had one eith W on it

And I taped Al Gore, the duly elected president, over his face. If I had one with Trump, I'd cover it with Hillary.

11. Perfect! And doesn't run afoul of Godwin...

2. I noticed my local place that used them has changed to "flags of the world." It has a little quiz.

3. Peace Tree Brewing!

Yay, Iowa brewers!

Note: If it matters, you can fix the original post so that it reflects the correct spelling of the brewery.

12. Cool

(This isn't about you, it's just my musing about the future I'll probably never see)

I wonder about the future of our language based on Twitter handles, Facebook (or is it facebook, not capitalized?) posts and the rest.

Will we all just start melding words, not capitalizing them because it's cooler that way, using alternate spellings as a matter of course?

@jayschool was reading washingtonpost and noticed that facebook wanted to #deligitimize #russianbots. 2cute.

13. language is fungible

...understanding each other is the goal.

How we get there varies. I like that.

14. True dat

Now excuse me while I try to teach a group of undergraduates how to use commas to make themselves better understood.

5. Loves me some Minnessota.

She is liberal, she is smart, she doesn't complain about the weather, it looks like people
like to be around her, and she drinks too so already she is better than Trump.

6. Is she 'someone you'd like to have a beer with?!?'

[bigtree]

7. as long as she's sipping

...or she's buying.

Of course, I'd like to have a beer with Amy, talk over things.
