I am not a frequent poster of political links, but I'm surprised I haven't seen this discussed more today. This is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s article on whether the 2004 presidential election was stolen from Rolling Stone. It is certainly the most thorough and carefully cited piece I have seen on the subject.

Even if you have already made your mind up on the subject, I suspect this would be worth reading for its political importance. I need to think about it some more, but am pretty troubled.

I was reminded today that I'd really like to take on translating Zhuangzi. This is pretty darned ambitious, as he's notoriously difficult... but hey, favorite classical philosopher and all ;-)

Anyhow, I found this copy online. Not exactly the prettiest site... but I imported the text, set the font at 20pt, and then double spaced it, so I don't have to go blind, and have plenty of room for translation notes.

Of course, done up that way the first chapter is fourteen pages...

I so don't need to be taking this on right now, but perhaps it can be my special treat.
