Iowa State Fair vs Iowa Straw Poll….discuss ~ Friday Flash Fiction

Butter Cow, milkin it.
Sarah Palin
Horse Barn, gets a bit deep.
Ron Paul
Midway, riding the Topsy Turvy.
Tim Pawlenty
Biggest Boar, just lies there.
Newt Gingrich
Varied Industry, all money honey.
Mitt Romney
Rootbeer Stand, home brewed syrup tea.
Michelle Bachmann
Grandstand!
Grandstanding!
Freebird!
Honky Tonk Moon!

Michelle better hope he doesn’t sing…

*******************
Yep, it is that time of year in IA. Saturday’s streets will be clogged with Iowa Fair visitors ready to spend their cash and waistline all things fashioned on a stick; while Ames will welcome every politico with their eye on 2012. Former local, Michelle Bachmann, is sponsoring a private concert with Randy Travis. Political ads and phone calls to boot, ya-hoo! 

Go whoop it up over at the G-Man’s for it is Friday and any 55 flash in the pan will do!

  5. I am fascinated by your timely and creative 55. It’s just wonderful.

    They are a herd of sheer crazies and full of bull, in my opinion.

    But the Iowa State Fair sounds like a real winner and I’d love to see it some day. My husband and I look forward to the Oregon State Fair each year, and have even attended on our anniversary a year or two.

    • Thank you so much for stopping by, Lydia. You must visit it sometime, this year it is extra special with all those politicians, ha!

      • Oh I can get an inkling of how “extra special” just from the TV coverage!

  6. Politics goes the way of the state fair to “connect with the people”….they are soooo disconnected.
