Wiki, Wild Stuff

OKAY, OKAY, I know it's lame, but in trying to recover from summer vacations and such, I'm seeking a little more structure in all facets of my life, and so I thought I'd take a whack at returning to that reader favorite, Wiki Wednesday. (Don't be shocked if next Wednesday passes without a similar post.) Last seen in these parts in April, our random leap into Wikipedia lands us today in the entry for Ruan Xiaoqi, "a character in the epic Chinese novel Water Margin." Ruan is described as having "bulging eyes and light yellow whiskers, with dark patches on his skin, as though he was cast in bronze," and so you're invited to insert your own joke here about a politician or other public figure whom you loathe. Happy hating!
