Essential Estrogen

Unlike Rudy Giuliani, Sen. Chris Dodd thinks Iowans are important.

The Dodd campaign has announced the senator will return this weekend to meet with citizens in Waterloo, Waverly, Mason City and Sioux City in a series of "Kitchen Table" conversations and town hall meetings. The presidential hopeful will be discussing plans to end the Iraq war and America's energy policy.

Saturday, June 9

• Waterloo Community Kitchen Table
  Steamboat Gardens Family Restaurant, 10:30 a.m.
• Kitchen Table with the Knitting Ladies of Waverly
  Kepford Home, noon
• Mason City Town Hall
  Chicago Dog Pizza, 3 p.m.
• Sioux City Democrats Truman Club Meeting, contact Taylor West for more information

Sunday, June 10

• Sioux City Cathedral of the Epiphany Street Fair
  Cathedral of the Epiphany, 10 a.m.
• Sioux City Town Hall
  Morningside College Elwood and Grace Olsen Student Center, 12:30 p.m.

No doubt the knitting ladies in Waverly will be happy to see Dodd since he had to cancel a previous meeting with them. I wonder if Lois will make her mini-cupcakes again? Actually, maybe Dodd should bring them as a peace offering.
