The
failure to thrive of the economy in Ukraine is no small part of the unrest taking place there, and I will admit, I really haven't followed Ukrainian politics very closely. But I would say that it really does look to me like this President Viktor Yanukovych wasn't even trying to keep his ass from looking shady, because he was
practically living in a theme park called "Shady Dictatorland." I think the big old pirate galleon-looking thing is kind of...
apt, in a way, isn't it?
The question then being, well, how is this guy surrounding himself with vintage autos and peacocks and whatnot?--and the answer looks like:
pure shadiness.
And what of released political prisoner
Yulia Tymoshenko? I don't
even know. I wish the Ukrainian people luck at getting legitimate government, as opposed to a mobbed-up griftocracy.

I wish we had one here, too.

To be fair, though, our corrupt government has the decency to mostly not rub the wealth of the 1%-ers directly in our faces. Usually.
