So, we hear that our own pseudo-Vice President Halliburton (Cheney) will be
visiting Clear Lake on Monday at 3pm.  The Republicans have reserved the
park downtown, although they will not confirm Cheney will be there as
of yet.  We also hear the ol' faux Veep doesn't think our bandshell is good
enough and will be erecting a special stage.




However, the
presence of Highway Patrolmen and what obviously was secret service
around the park Thursday is pretty good confirmation.




At other
appearances in Iowa, in a display of complete non-democracy, only
persons who are political supporters have been allowed into events with
the pseudo-pResident and his political henchmen.  This event
promises to be no different, as they are fencing off public parks,
streets, and land and only allowing people who have invitations in to
see the faux Veep.

John Drury, Democratic
candidate for Iowa Senate District 6, will be
holding a news conference at 2:00pm (updated time) Monday on the Lake View Drive
lakeshore, west of the Lady of the Lake landing.  John and various
Iowa labor leaders will be talking to the media about Labor Day and the
cruel irony of the anti-labor deal proposed for the special
legislative session scheduled the next day regarding the Iowa Values
Fund.
