In these final days of campaigning for the U.S. Presidency, all kinds of partisan rants are flying back and forth...many within threads on this very forum. Some are short, some are long, some are funny, some are stupid, some are mean, some are well-researched, many are not, many are either the parsing of words or even just plain lies.

But seldom do we encounter a partisan political essay as well-written as the one authored by Eve Ensler. You don't have to agree with her beliefs or her choice of candidates. But reading such a well-crafted piece of writing is well worth the time to understand how a thoughtful person with very specific social objectives thinks about our politics and our candidates.
