We’ve been following Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley’s Twitter feed long enough to attempt a basic translation, but forgive us if we’re not entirely accurate. It looks as though Grassley is holding a series of town hall meetings with constituents and letting us know, in “word cloud” form, what was on people’s minds at each one. We’re glad to know that at least one of the 44 people at the Newhampton meetup asked about the status of the Fast and Furious investigation — that is, if we’re reading that correctly.
What else is on Iowans’ minds?

Stay tuned; we’re guessing we have around 96 tweets to go as we brush up on our Grassley-speak.
