Sen. Chuck Grassley has been spending the Senate’s recess traveling across Iowa and meeting with constituents in a series of town hall meetings. He promised to tweet the topics that came up at each meeting, but he singled out Secretary of State John Kerry’s recent release of $250 million in economic aid to Egypt for special consideration. Iowans think it’s pretty stupid to give Mohammad Morsi a quarter of a billion dollars, but what else is on their minds? A lot, including some rapper, we think, who calls himself “Biden$Paris.”

Real journalists out there, take note: you might not be interested in touching Fast and Furious and Benghazi, but the questions haven’t gone away.
