Crimean voters took a historic step yesterday, voting to secede from the Ukraine and submit return to Mother Russia. The votes were actually counted before the polls opened in order to keep things moving on schedule. In honor of this historic day, I thought you might enjoy a review of the event as it unfolded, in image and song: Scroll, baby, Scroll! (Or is that skol?)
See? Just like Stalin promised: free elections!
Voters in Crimea walk to polling stations to cast their votes
Armed Russian troops guard the polling stations to protect the “integrity and fairness” of the vote.
No! Wait!
Ok… That’s more like it.
“WTF? I need a Russian issued ID to vote???”
Casting ballots on the question: “All Crimea Are Belong to Mother Russia?”
Exit Polls Show A Heavy “Da” Turnout
Although There Were Reports of Scattered “Nyet” Votes…
“Nyet” Voters Awaiting Relocation to Their New Siberian Home…
So my advice, in the future: put your money on Putin. Because remember:
Now that Pooty has made it clear how easy it is to call for a (successful) secession vote, I just want to mention that it might start giving people around here ideas. And depending on which state votes, they may either vote to join Mother Russia, or form their own new country.

In only 5 years Obama has managed to double the national debt, destroy the US healthcare industry, and re-ignited the cold war.
Imagine what’s to come.
But as Hillary said “what difference does it make!”
Well, to be fair, the healthcare industry is still a work in progress.

Now you’ve hit a nerve! This is exactly what they are afraid of: people start thinkin’ that maybe this secession thingy ain’t so hard after all. Let’s give it a whirl. lol
Crimea why, must we say goodbye? Each time we part, my heart wants to die.
Look Vlad, the mom jeans are off. Don't cross that line. Again.
GREAT POST! Right on the money.
If Republicans had any brains they would craft their 2014 campaign around those three national calamities.
When watching something go down in flames, one does not need to see it actually hit the ground before realizing what the outcome will be.
No, they did NOT take an historic step. There was no “no” vote. Ballots were pre-filled in. And you think the “counting” was honest?
Tyranny at it’s worst.
The republicans are the enemy.
They have no brains, and they are completely corrupt.
The way things are going in this country the CSA is looking pretty good to me. :-)
I hold that the referendum held this weekend was probably more honest than the one we held in this country in 2012.
