Plans in which neighbors come together and create their own makeshift health coverage are the rage in Africa, particularly in the […]

Ah yes, at the state fair. This year I managed to find the apple-maple smoked pork tenderloins on a stick. Highly recommended. In other food news, I had a Minne-ka-bob (shish ka-bobs made with minnesota ingredients), usually they were good but this year they sucked.

I forgot to make a link to the Adopt a box of docs page. Go there and see for yourself what Roberts wrote about all kinds of issues. Be forwarned that many boxes are filled with junk that has nearly nothing to do with Roberts at all. Others only contain memos which […]

More John Roberts memos, including comparable worth memos, memos on FCC judgments, secret taping of telephone conversation, white collar crime, as well as the infamous “Meese-Mobile” memo…
