Years ago I picked up a compilation of chocolate recipes from some charity in Oakland. Then Representative Ron Dellums had submitted one that looked familiar: turned out it was word for word from the Joy of Cooking. When you think about it, tho', it is pretty bizarre to imagine that public figures are spending their free time in the kitchen whipping up original recipes. The real scandal is the wholesale theft and plagiarism that happens in every newspaper and magazine food section, but that's a whole nuther story.
