How to score in a tight baby market

Justices fixing to erase Roe v. Wade from the law have spoken of wanting to increase the “domestic supply of babies” (details here). Apparently there’s a shortage. I didn’t realize there’s an adoption market similar to the real estate market — it’s not somet[...]

Is Ted Cruz the Zodiac killer?

Ted Cruz, who’s never going to be president and opined without evidence that a “liberal” law clerk leaked Justice Alito’s draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade (see story here), has never denied being the Zodiac Killer. His wife hasn’t denied he’s the Zodiac kille[...]
