The idea of the King of Pop in butter at the Iowa State Fair melted faster than s'mores-on-a-stick on an August afternoon. Iowans voted by about two-to-one against the idea of a butter sculpture of Michael Jackson in the fair's online poll. So now what? A fair spokeswoman said there were no plans to put someone or something else in butter. But, hey, the fair listened to Iowans once. Why not give them another choice?A few ideas...Applington-Parkersburg's former football coach Ed Thomas? An unemployed Iowan (in light of the economy right now)? Ashton Kutcher? John Bachman? Barack Obama?
Just a few off the top of my head. Who do you think deserves the butter praise?

Ed Thomas. Without a doubt!
I like your idea of an unemployed person. It might be kinda sad. But it's appropriate this year.

honor a solider
I can only hope that in my life I achieve something to make we worthy of being immortalized in butter. Perhaps the vote would have been different if it was "I can't believe its not butter"
Do you need to be deceased to be honored in butter? Why not honor someone living?
Gotta be coach Thomas
Duane Ellett and Floppy
Coach Ed Thomas is an excellent idea . A soldier in battle gear is also a very good idea
IA would be better represented if we STOPED playing with our food & gave the butter to people that have lost their jobs like was done in the 80's along with the cheese and powdered milk every couple months or so.
It would be put to better use in bread or on toast to feed the hungry rather than mixing with the sculpter's skin cells & body oils.
We have had Shawn Johnson in butter because she is an Iowa sports icon. What better way to pay tribute to another Iowa icon, Coach Ed Thomas! Someone with true integrity and good values. He stood for what Iowa is to me!! (and yes, I did know him)
WHO personality John Bachman.
Walter Cronkite, I also like Duaune & Floppy!
