Twitchy favorite David Burge (aka @Iowahawkblog) just has a knack for being pithy. There are few in the Twitterverse who can sum up an issue in 140 characters with equal wit and humor. Here are ten of Iowahawk’s best ‘summed it up’ moments from 2014.
1. Unemployment
If we can keep encouraging people to drop out of the labor force, we'll be at full employment in no time! #Yay

For the win! Iowahawk has the key to fixing unemployment
2. NSA Surveillance
The NSA is to Paul Revere what the TSA is to a lap dancer.

3. Social Justice Outrage

4. Obama’s Corruption
How many friends and/or business associates do you have in federal prison? Compare your answer to the president of the United States.

7. Joe Biden
Serious question: if it weren't for the existence of Washington DC, what the hell would Joe Biden do for a living?
— David Burge (@iowahawkblog) October 6, 2014
Iowahawk asks ‘serious question’ about Joe Biden, makes pretty good point
8. Radical Feminism
Third world women paid $0.40/hour to make $70 'This Is What a Feminist Looks Like' t-shirts http://t.co/73D070L5Cx
— David Burge (@iowahawkblog) November 2, 2014
‘Because feminism!’ Iowahawk points out some ‘war on women’ news ‘you won’t read about’
9. Jonathan Gruber
The real scandal in Gruber's remarks: that he could say them publicly, in the complete confidence that no major media would quote him.
— David Burge (@iowahawkblog) November 13, 2014
‘Traitors.’ Iowahawk nails ‘the real scandal in Gruber’s remarks’
10. Birth Control Paranoia
Don't worry, nobody wants you to reproduce. RT @Salon The right is coming for your birth control — they just don’t want you to know it yet

‘Try a new lie’: Salon’s birth control scare tactics grow tiresome; Iowahawk zings
We can’t wait to see what he comes up with in 2015.
