What a jerk...

David Oman, the guy who is in charge of the ridiculous rain forest project, that is. He's probably a really nice guy once you get to know him, but he sounded like a real jerk in the newspaper today. "We will finish it when we finish it," he said, in reference to a response to the Coralville City Council's demands. The deadline for that response is today. Time for John Lundell, Tom Gill and Jean Schnake, the councilors who said they would pull support for the project if Oman missed the deadline, to step up and do what they said they'd do. And in light of the hurricane devastation, this pork project looks even worse than it did before. I recommend we immediately donate the $50 million the government gave us for the rain forest to the Gulf Coast rebuilding project.

Kris and the Iowa Pork Forest have more.
