Iowa was the first state to admit a female as an attorney into the Bar Association.

Women in bars are a good thing.

ESPN is doing another time filling content segment where states vote for who would be on their Mt. Rushmore. What does everyone think of this?

Here's what I posted on ESPN.com
Kurt Warner
Dan Gable
Ed Thomas- Football Coach from Applington Parkersburg, coached 4 nfl players, after the tornado hit the town and school, he lead his team to an undefeated regular season and made the state quarterfinals, losing to the eventual state champion
Nile Kinnick, while he is more of a legend, he is still an icon in the state

it should also be noted that Dr. Tom Davis was the coach at Drake too...

I'd maybe trade Shaun Johnson for Nile kinnick for for her performance in a high profile Olympic sport.

Sol Butler ... University of Dubuque.

Check out his story at http://www.dbq.edu/udathletics/traditions.cfm

Klopenhiemer · January 24, 2009, 09:23:01 AM

My votes would be

Walner Bellus
Jemar Jackson
Montier Glasper: Old Hawkeye bball player
AC Earl: enough said
Troy Davis
Keno Davis

Walston Hoover · January 24, 2009, 10:32:24 AM

Warner
Gable
Kinnick
Trice

In 4 years if Shawn Johnson wins another Gold medal then I think she would have to get serious consideration

Honorable Mention (plate in the gift shop rather than face engraved in stone)
Fry
Fred Hoiberg
Johnny Orr
Heys Jr.

doolittledog · January 24, 2009, 10:45:00 AM

I don't think you could get much argument for...

Kinnick
Gable
Trice

Also deserving by most people would be...

Warner
Fry
Orr

Give them a few more years and they could deserve it...

Shawn Johnson
Zach Johnson

Probably have good arguments for inclusion but nobody really knows about them...

Sol Butler
Vern Den Herder
Moco Mercer

Butler-Bremer county residents might argue for inclusion...

Any Wartburg Fball team from the last 15 years or so

doolittledog · January 24, 2009, 11:13:46 AM

Is it still true that Butler County is the only county in Iowa with neither a stoplight nor a fast food place? not that there's anything wrong with that . . .

Old Dutch · January 24, 2009, 06:55:16 PM

As long as I've got nothing better to do . . . .

My wife played the 6 on 6 version on a tourney team back in the day, can't get her to go to the modern game, and after the last few I've seen can't blame her, it seems there is often more turnovers than baskets!!

Old Dutch · January 24, 2009, 07:36:05 PM

Since there's no FB talk these days anyway, how about a run of jokes, I'll start:

A priest took a few moments before his service one recent Sunday to have a serious conversation with his congregation. "It seems," he started, "That there are some very hurtful and untrue rumors among you. These rumors must be stopped and the only way to do that is to identify and confront the source. I am not, nor have I ever been a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Who ever has this notion and started this ugly rumor, please reveal yourself. Forgiveness is yours if you admit to this."

He paused and not a soul spoke out. This upset the good Father even more. He was convinced he needed to stop this rumor immediately and so he repeated his request. "Anyone who is responsible for starting this rumor, please reveal yourself so I may know what I have ever done to make you think I was capable of such terrible associations? Confession is good for the soul and you will be relieved by your admission."

After another long silent pause, he asserted his patience. "I can wait. I must cause these untruths to be corrected now and we will sit here until the guilty party speaks."

After another long uncomfortable wait, a rather well constructed, blonde beauty sheepishly arose from her pew. "Father, I am afraid I may be the source of a misunderstanding. Forgive me, but I never implied you were a racist member of the KKK. However, I was out with my girlfriends a couple weeks ago and I must admit I did tell them your were quite the wizard under the sheets."

After another long uncomfortable wait, ~~a rather well constructed, blonde beauty~~ ten year old boy sheepishly arose from ~~her~~ his pew. "Father, I am afraid I may be the source of a misunderstanding. Forgive me, but I never implied you were a racist member of the KKK. However, I was out with my ~~girlfriends~~ therapist a couple weeks ago and I must admit I did tell ~~them~~ him you were quite the wizard under the sheets."

Fixed.

And I can make that joke since I'm Catholic. And going to hell.
