Topic: Steve King


  
  Steve King - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steve King (born May 28, 1949), American politician, has been a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives since 2003, representing the 5th District of Iowa (map).
In September 2005, King rallied support to reject a motion in the House of Representatives to name a Post Office in Berkeley, California after the city's long-serving Councilwoman Maudelle Shirek.
After winning the vote 190 for to 215 against, King cited Shirek's affiliation with the Niebyl-Proctor Marxist Library in Berkeley as his reason to block the motion, claiming, albeit in a different interview, that her past "sets her apart from...the most consistant of American values".

 BREAKING NEWS: STEVE KING CONSIDERS RUNNING AGAINST TOM HARKIN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Steve King, R-Iowa, said he's working to build a statewide political organization that could lead to an eventual challenge to Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin in 2008.
While King said 'I'm not logically and calculating to do that,' he left little doubt that he's pondered the issue, and he said building a statewide base could give him more clout with GOP presidential candidates traveling to the state.
King, a Kiron Republican, is in his second term in the House, and has raised eyebrows by launching an aggressive travel schedule that takes him all over the state, well beyond the limits of the western Iowa 5th District that he represents.

T is fitting that so many major news organizations have asked me to herald the coming to the United States of the artifacts from King Tut's tomb.
I stepped over the backs of many Egyptologists who wanted to write this article, but it's better that they learn their lesson now: silly song writers are powerful and vicious people who will stop at nothing to write an article about subjects they have treated in a silly way.
I know that the song "King Tut" has become a standard and that many people believe it has been around for three-quarters of a century and was probably written by Cole Porter or Irving Berlin.
