According to the Register, Iowa is considered a battleground state that both Kerry and Bush are eager to win over.



If that's the case, will someone please tell them we're not idiots? They apparently think we perform bizarre corn rituals to appease the prairie gods:



"Competing for votes in corn-growing Iowa, John Kerry waved to crowds with one ear in each hand. Not to be outdone by his Democratic rival, President Bush ate one raw."



I love to see what they'll come up with for New Mexico.
