Really? We are going to play the I don't like your sources game?

How about these leftwing sources:

FOX NEWS "International observers have deemed the election free and fair, hurting Tymoshenko's chances of mounting a successful challenge to the results in court."

Pat Buchanon "Yanukovych won the presidency of Ukraine in 2010 in what international observers called a free and fair election."

Claim Russia is in the wrong, claim the guy is a punk, claim the firebombing nazi types in Kiev had every right to get rid of the guy...but stop acting like everyone in the world thinks the 2010 election was illegitimate.

What is a little public dissidence without beer:


a barricade to keep the police from storming up the stairs to the second floor. There's also a Sun Yat-sen head statue at the other stairway, facing down the stairs.

Is there a ping list for articles on Taiwan? Our family hosted an exchange student from Taiwan and he’s been in contact with us about what’s going on there. I’d like to stay updated on the situation on FB.
