The Fed Grinder · Rabat, Morocco
In Rabat they say hello twice and mean it once — McSkunkville fixes the ratio. These days, the Rabat chapter of the fan club meets wherever the coffee is honest, and McSkunkville keeps a porch light on for Rabat.
Down at the end of Main Street sits the Fed Grinder — McSkunkville's legendary engine of accountability. Feed it a wrong, and it grinds out paperwork: complaints, exhibits, sworn statements, all stamped and certified, until the wrong is set right.
Nobody remembers who built it. Everybody remembers the day it started running and never stopped. It hums louder when officials misbehave, and it has never once run out of paper.
The town motto is etched on its housing: They talk; we file.
Worldwide Access — The Fed Grinder greets readers in Rabat and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
