Follow-Up: State 29

Great pleasure to have acknowledgment from State 29, "Wednesday, July 19, 2006, Nicholas Johnson on Transfers Of Property," a reference to "Takings": Eminent Domain and Iowa Values," July 15, 2006.

Any mention by State 29 always produces a great number of hits on my newborn baby blog.

State 29 was one of my first exposures to blogs. And although he or she remains a mystery -- and, indeed, may be simply an extremely sophisticated bit of software -- the blog has set the standard for me. State 29 certainly provided a good bit of the inspiration for my Iowa rain forest Web site, http://www.nicholasjohnson.org/politics/IaChild, indeed is even rumored in some quarters to be the genius behind the Iowa Pork Forest blog, though there have been no sightings and that has never been confirmed.

We don't always agree; I don't always agree with anyone. But we often do; and I always admire the insight, humor, and creative, quality writing.

So thanks, whoever you are.
