Chuck Grassley, who is bowing out of attending the RNC convention, is having a snit over football:

3. Well well Chuckie,

did he ever think maybe the Hawkeye Jocks might be infected? Nah. Same for Gym Jordan and OSU,which btw,is having a massive Covid out break in every Sport.

Hang in their Chuckie,Tulip Festival will be held as usual in Pella. Has been a right of Spring for more than fifty years and it is just down the road.

4. First things first.

Plague spreading like wildfire in the USA, people dying or unable to pay their bills, economy in perilous estate, etc. etc. But this is what the President Pro Tempore of the Senate is "disappointed" about.

5. Maybe he should go empty bed pans in a coronavirus ward

if he wants to go do something more interesting than many big 10 games. I’m sure the hospital could use the help.

6. "Snit" is a perfect word for Grassley.

[gratuitous]

7. So you're going to Jacksonville after all, Senator?

Or is putting one's life on the line for a transparently stupid reason only for other people?

8. Why shouldn't he be able to make these unpaid (often minority) students play for his entertainment?

Why shouldn't he be able to make these unpaid (often minority) students play for his entertainment? Don't they know what a privilege it is to risk their lives for his entertainment? Ingrates!

(Sarcasm, if you needed the tag.)

9. Does he even know what a football looks like?
