Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) wants you to know that he loves pork.
No, not government spending for his home state, but rather, the currently more fearful pork: the kind that has spawned the deadly swine flu.
Grassley tweeted Monday:
U can’t get swine flu fr eating pork. Eatup. Regardless of epidemic
Of course, Iowa is the largest producer of pork in the United States, even playing host to the annual World Pork Expo. This year’s expo (Get excited!) takes place June 3-5, 2009, at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines.
