Randall Munroe, of the excellent web comic xkcd, has re-written President
Washington's farewell address, published in 1796 in contemporary language.
The themes still seem highly relevant, especially in Munroe's accessible

As Munroe says in his post: "Wow. That was fun, depressing, inspiring, and
a little bit spooky."

Mr. Washington, take it away.
