This morning we received a phone call from a reader concerning a curious item he found in what he called the “Compost & Courier.”
Now, we don’t think ill of the P&C. We may pick a bit here and there, but quite honestly, I don’t remember the last time we gave them a good ribbing. Oh […]

You know, I had a post all set to go about the Serve America Act and Jim DeMint. As you know, the act increases the size of AmeriCorp from 75,000 to 250,000, and well, DeMint doesn’t like it.
