Why the Ukraine Election Was Stolen

From Post Modern Clog:

You have to understand the situation in Ukraine. The country is run by a series of oligarchic clans that actually found their beginnings in the Soviet Union, and then grew fabulously rich during the early days of “privatization”. Do you start to see how life works here? This isn’t about a few stolen votes. It’s about an entire system of fine control over the political, social and economic life of the people. Economics and politics are incestuously fused here in a way that is difficult to imagine for those in the West.

My other favorite quote is they interrupt a post to say:

I’m grabbing the kids and taking them downtown to see history today.
