I marvel at the commitment you give to keeping us informed! To be honest, you are busier than a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest! The depth of your commitment shows in every thing you write, and the detail you give to even the passive among us! You, like Art, deserve a Pulitzer Prize for simply doing a job as well as you do yours! Much success is what I hope for you in your career and please! Keep Up the Good Work You Do!

Steve, you have officially made my day, and made me laugh! Thank you.

Your prolific, high-quality output reflects exceptional dedication and skill. Like many readers, I wondered if you had secret helpers or magical latke recipes behind the scenes. Steve and Jim aptly note this is the perfect time to acknowledge your work ethic and journalistic talent. You consistently produce thorough, well-researched content through disciplined effort and deep expertise in Iowa politics. If you do have a secret recipe for such productivity, we'd love to know it.

Thank you! I am fortunate to need less sleep than most people. I also do a lot of multitasking (for instance, thinking through how to structure posts while walking the dog).

some of my best ideas come from walking the dog, including ideas from people I interact with on the walks.

May I likewise offer my thanks to you for always finding and reporting on the detailed actions and likely motivations of our elected officials. E.g. the late Friday news releases about those things they hope will be ignored or overlooked. I agree with Steve, above. You are the best!
