My good friend, Frankie Flanders, Mayor of a town just down the road from Freehold, Ottumwa, called yesterday. He was having a tough day.
The Today Show was doing a story about Ottumwa's growing beans and rice population. "I have to stand before those cameras and say I really like these Mexicans moving in here," Frankie told me.
We lamented how sad it is Iowa is being stolen from the white people who moved here to save the prairie from Indians. As soon as the tipis were gone, the enchiladas moved in.
Frankie tried to get Today to do a story on all white, Freehold. They weren't interested.
