Army Post Road

     Beau Elliot, a column writer for the Daily Iowan, and I have never seen eye-to-eye. I’ve pilloried him and some of his columns in letters-to-the-editor in the DI and likewise he’s mocked me (and Steve) in his column. Never, ever, would I have thought I’d be quoting him and recommending people read his column but today that day has happened. The best line from his column today is when he said, “It’s as if the UI policymakers walked up to the Exxon Valdez oil spill with a coffee mug, scooped out a cupful of gunk, and said, ‘There - problem solved.’” Read the rest of his column on the UI’s idiotic policy decision to ban smoking within 25′ of any door of a university building.
