Thank you for your public service.

[Trey3216 15350]

He is appreciated 

[immortal13 4059]

He'll be making some changes

[Hate 20128]

Picture him rollin.

[usmc0331horn 954]

They’ve got nothing but love for him.

[Lerka Lerka 1087]

So not strictly for my ???

[Fudge Nuggets 19209]

It’s not a high bar, but this cat has to be the coolest, old, white dude in Iowa.

Hit ‘em up, dawg.

[mulletpelini 5214]

Guvna told him get to packing.

[SwanderedTalent 5761]

the only redeemable possibility here is that it was a very sarcastic long con

[Al_4_ISU 12473]

He was the assistant dean when I was in law school.

To say this is extremely surprising is an understatement.  He seemed like the biggest nerd alive, and the idea of him spamming people with Tupac lyrics has elevated him (as another poster mentioned) to one of the coolest old white dudes in the state.

[936horn 916]

I see no changes, all I see is racist faces...

[RexWilson 1348]

Gotta keep your head up Jerry

[Scraps 13570]

This dude is officially my hero 

 

[Rougarou 594]

Iowa.....a Place to Stay

Get your Booty on the floor tonight and make my day.

Pump up the Jam, Pump it Up....

 

wait, wrong thread. Old Nerdy White Midwest guy out!

[BrazilHorn 6623]

Tupac Tuesdays is clearly better than Tupac Fridays.  I bet that's why they forced him out.  

[JimmyHoffa 1188]

[clapclapclap 9000]

The giant hologram of himself did not go over well.

[Mez2 4025]

You know signed off a few emails with the following signature on Motivational Mondays...

Fuck Kansas, fuck Missouri
Fuck Nebraska as a state, wrestling program and as a motherfucking crew
And if you want to be down with Nebraska, then fuck you too
Illinois, fuck you too....
We motherfuckin' Thug Life-riders, Midwest'til we die
Out here in Iowa, we warned ya
We'll bomb on you motherfuckers. We do our job
 

[Spankytoes 1742]

Sounds like it ain't nothin but a gangsta party

[gernblansten 3197]

I'm sure Tupac will send the guy an autographed shirt once news of this reaches him in Malaysia.

[Ollie Slatt 289]

Ol' Jerry actually had some great policy ideas too . . . like that time he suggested to the governor that Iowa should start a war on poverty instead of a war on drugs so the police can bother me

[gernblansten 3197]

Jerry Foxhoven seems like the perfect guy to get down to Texas and address the toll road situation.

[SwanderedTalent 5761]

Don't Kim Reynolds got sickle cell or somethin????

You left out Minnesota, which I've heard is the greatest mutual hatred between IA and a bordering state.

Yup.  It's Minnesota and Nebraska at the top of the hate chain, and everyone else is a long ways behind.  I openly celebrate Wisconsin, and ambivalent to the others.  I think Des Moines area probably hates Nebraska more just due to proximity and the much higher likelihood of seeing GBR mouthbreathers there.  No one in Minnesota gives a fuck about college sports, and most Minnesotans that move to Iowa are going to ISU and become Cyclones.

Minnesota is kind of a northern Texas, and they view us the way you view Oklahoma.

There's an I-35 observation I've made:  the states at each end (TX, MN) are extremely prideful and view the next states down the highway as completely beneath them (OK, IA).  Those states in turn resent the bookends and are generally "meh" towards to the next states inland (KS, MO) from them.  The middle states (KS, MO) hate each with other equal passion

[Asithappens 974]

He should've been fired for not pimping Slip Knot.

[JimmyHoffa 1188]

It's cool that his son is supporting him and it's obviously a great/funny story but it cracks me up his son overlooks the questionable decisions he made. Sending an email to all 4,300 DHS employees to listen to Tupac in honor of the rappers birthday seems rather troubling to start. 

[El Diablo 4232]

Need to project a 3D hologram of the dude onto the state house steps.

[SwanderedTalent 5761]

ultimately what surprises me most is, if you told me that in Iowa "some high-level government official was forced to resign because he was spamming people with inappropriate music at work!" I would have assumed he was a Juggalo

Shit, just saw this. I was soo, soo late.

[HornsOverIthaca 2335]

Should have been given a medal.  So many nerds love Tupac for some reason.  People need to understand there is a distinct possibility that the obsession was with the insane clown posse.  In the words of a great internet truth teller of the past whose name has been lost to time, “yo why u clown dat bitch ass bad boy.  FUcC DAt.”

[Lhorn 4928]

I can sympathize. I almost lost my job due to infatuation with Starland Vocal Band.

Getting rid of the sig is on the list of things I need to learn right after adding and avatar and figuring out how to attach photos and gifs.

I’m not savvy at this.

Too busy getting your afternoon delight.

I've seen a lot of weird shit but this is really out there.

If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am now
