Thumbs up Vorkosigan honorable mention at DailyKos

http://dailykos.com/

Vorkosigan's Understanding the Taiwan Mess is one of the most comprehensive and well-written diaries I've seen in a while. It documents, analyzes and places in context the political turmoil in Taiwan, and serves as a reminder to Daily Kos readers that the world is a lot bigger than the US, Iraq and Iran. (odum) (My fave of the day. Beautifully illustrated, with links to numerous Taiwan blogs -- melvin)

Way to go, Vork!

Of course, I'm just kidding. ; the reasons why you like it so much are probably the same reasons I like it so much: the piece is very well written and very insightful.

I agree with you, Sauron: "Way to go, Vork"

Indeed. I am always impressed wit the number of erudite and well-published people who frequent this board. It's quite an impressive collection of experienced folks.
