It smells like someone is Putin...
But luckily, they took some Pepto and all is turning around for Ukraine.
I love a good story about grassroots democracy taking shape and recent developments in Ukraine are a great example of this. It shows that perseverance pays off - take note United States. These people have amazing resolve - they braved bitter cold, every day, all day and demanded democracy. Their Supreme Court, while being threatened by Putin and his nasty cronies, declared the election held in November to be invalid. At least their Supreme Court can get it right. Now a new election will be taking place on December 26. Now that is a day-after-Christmas sale if I've ever heard of one! You will be lucky to have the inside scoop on said election since my dear friend will be monitoring it. The man who will likely be their next president is Victor Yushchenko - no, he was not a figure skater or a gymnast. He was the opposition leader in the parliament.
More to come as I am making up for loss time....
