Need a good laugh? My fav. story of the day. Bonus - hilarious comments section [View all]

It's the story about Iowa GOPer who introduced the affirmative action legislation for conservative professors at Iowa public Universities, who it turned out lied about his degrees. I read about it else where but the way this item is written, and the details added - I found hilarious. Read it at least to what he was known for before politics (aka what he did as Chicken man.)

And the comments on the item - took me to tears (from laughing so hard.) http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/03/01/iowa_republican_trying_to_kneecap_state_universities_got_his_business_degree.html

Sample comment: The real scandal is that he was wait-listed by Taco Bell U.

and: Sizzler is known to be a liberal hotbed in the area of the baked potato bar and soda fountain. #socialist #freerefills
