RAUCOUS CAUCUS OR A VEGETATIVE STATE?

Does it seem that in the Hawkeye Cauci Iowa Caucuses (see *below) the more the Republicans see of their candidates the more "None of the Above" looks attractive to them; and the more the Democrats see of their candidates the more confused they are about who they like best? Are we in for a whole year of that?
Why does the political calendar start with Iowa? Because it's an agricultural (i.e. vegetative) state, and the political rhetoric are an important source of fertilizer for the year's crops. What better to grow corn with than politicos' sentiments of patriotism?
Last week Hillary Clinton was speaking at a livestock auction, and asked the audience members to look into her mouth. Next week she addresses a convention of proctologists.
One good thing to be said for the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary is they've kept Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani out of New York.
After the contest to see who could wish you a Merry Christmas best, are we in for who can wish you Happy New Year best, too? I'm waiting for the Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday greeting---but maybe certain candidates will just send a card.
The Republican strategy seems to be to deny that global warming exists until the ocean levels rise to cover over the blue states. Does it seem strange to you that the Republican states are called the "red states" when that term in the fifties meant Communist? Tail gunner Joe McCarthy must be turning over in his purgatory!

* Below--The plural of "caucus" is "caucuses" because the word is not of Latin origin. It entered our language from the Algonquian Indians' word meaning meeting of tribal leaders. Plurals in Algonquian were made by adding -aki, or _ari ; so the plural of "caucus" would be caucaki if the group itself were treated as an animate object or caucari if a group of people was treated as something that was not in itself animate. So it could be Hawkeye Caucaki after all. Since I do not know what "pat" means in Algonquian, I do not know what Gov. Pataki is the plural for in the language of the tribe that resides in the state that he governed. (According to a web site maintained by a Native American named Spotted Wolf , "pat" means "fish" in some native tongue, so there maybe something fishy in his name.)
The famous Algonquian Round Table could have been called a caucus, but the members may not have considered themselves as tribal leaders, but rather the critics of tribal leaders. This could lead to a fascinating discussion of "rump caucus"-- but it won't. I don't know why or where rumps caucus.
