Out of the office

I'm in Seattle at the moment--that's my current excuse for not being around at the moment--but I wanted to drop in and mention some of the latest news from Zimbabwe (this is actually from Sunday). In my opinion, this may be the worst news of the year. This may serve to perpetuate violence towards thousands, if not millions. And just when there may have been a glimmer of hope for so many people... then again, Mugabe had been actively working to crush that hope.

Since then, there have been just a continuate of what you might expect from Zimbabwe. The opposition presidential candidate seeks refuge in a foreign embassy, fearing his life; Mugabe's goons raid the opposition headquarters, and so on.
