DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the newest entrant in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, will make her initial foray into Iowa next weekend, aides said Saturday.

2007 Iowa Pork Congress - 'It's all here' this week!

The theme of this, the 35th annual show, is "It's All Here!" The nation's largest winter swine trade show will feature nearly 300 companies including several new exhibitors, 20 educational opportunities and numerous other events and activities.

The Iowa Pork Congress is open to all pork producers, allied-businesses and others involved in the pork industry.

Including politicians which I'm sure will be dusting off their Levi's to more "identify" with common folk like us.

I am dead dog tired today after hanging cabinets, priming and painting drywall, installing shelving, hanging cabinets, and hanging cabinets in our kitchen and my new recording studio. I started moving in the electronics and running cable and wire for the home network until midnight last night. My daughter woke me up this morning - which normally never happens on a weekday.

In between all that, we took the kids sledding. I'm starting to take a shine slightly to the cold and snow.
