Yikes

From this month's compendium of Harper's Index, celebrating the end of the year/end of the Bush Error edition:

Minimum number of times that Frederick Douglass was beaten in what is now Donald Rumsfeld's vacation home: 25

I shall never be able to narrate the mental experience through which it was my lot to pass during my stay at Covey's. I was completely wrecked, changed, and bewildered; goaded almost to madness at one time, and at another reconciling myself to my wretched condition.

Wrote Douglas of, no joke, Mount Misery, Rumsfeld's vacation home.
