I may be more than a little jaded after the recent Tour de France dopping scandle. But, instead of ranting and raving about the sorry state of our favorite sport I decided to rant a little about the sorry state of our government. If you haven’t read Robert F. Kennedy’s article about the 2004 Presidential election here’s your chance. If you only read one article this year about politics, this should be the one. It’s not be scanned, and don’t look for a “summary”. Settle in for a complete reading. It’s not a happy story, but it might make you less pissed about the Tour!

Republicans prevented more than 350,000 voters in Ohio from casting ballots or having their votes counted — enough to have put John Kerry in the White House. BY ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.
