The elections in Ukraine.

OK, I'm sure you all know by now about the election mess in Ukraine. Apparently, the Bush administration feels the election was stolen, and thousands of Ukrainians agree. They say that the exit polls called it for the guy that was supposed to win (the pro-Western candidate), yet the opponent, whom Vladimir Putin apparently backs, wins.

Frankly, I'm not sure what went down, but something is definitely up. The pro-Western candidate was clearly poisoned, and all evidence points to a stolen election. That being said, I can't help but laugh at the idea of this administration being so sure of a stolen election, yet when things go wrong here, nothing. Does this Ukrainian debacle remind anyone of 2000? Am I the only one who smells a big hefty pile of hypocrisy?

3. I saw those in the NY Daily News.

He looked in his thirties in the first picture, and now he looks like a sickly, fifty-year old with skin cancer. Poisoned indeed. Putin's boy stole that election, yet Bush backs Putin, and protests the stolen election? Wha?
