Madonna Talks Tymoshenko to Fans at Kyiv Show

Guys are corrupt, girls are cool.

Why is she in jail?



Because the girl loved the boy, but the boy dumped the girl. 

He realized he had the better shot at being the material girl in this country.

Can Talkathons Get Tymoshenko Out of Jail?

Yes, they can. The opposition clearly thinks so.



It's all talk and no action for Tymoshenko apparatchiks. Any surprise there? Just like the Yanukovych crowd, they all want to talk their way back into Ukraine’s parliament. Does anyone of them feel like talking about how they screwed up? Not really. Just vote for them again, OK?

Will that work for Dnipropetrovsk subway construction workers who have gone without pay for six months? 




For most voters, it’s vacation season. Anyone willing to sit through 3:37:17 hours of “middle class this and that” opposition talk? Not me.

If there’s one grassroots Ukrainian who can remotely relate to Tymoshenko’s “overboard” experience, it’s this lady. Watch her fall off a jam-packed marshrutka in Dnipropertrovsk, Tymoshenko’s hometown.



And boy did she know how to dust herself off!

Chase her. Make her endorse Tymoshenko.

Vice PM Tihipko: ‘You Don’t Pity Yourself’

He’s sexy and he knows it!

Vice PM Tihipko:  I know for sure that without sports I wouldn’t have achieved anything. Because this injection of adrenaline that you get, it gives you the opportunity to recharge your batteries...uh...to feel...uh...the power and to feel that everything is practically solvable, everything can be achieved. That’s the most important thing. You don’t pity yourself. You pity your wives, daughters, moms. You don’t pity your sons. And you definitely don’t pity yourself.
0:48-1:15

Hey, what about this “grand coalition” wife? 

 She too wanted to be with Yanukovych!

 In fact, she wanted to be his PM.

  Why no pity for her?

Yanukovych: Ukraine ‘Must Be Made Unsafe’ (Gaffe)

It's not the first time. Maybe he means it?

Yanukovych: I’m being told that this must be done ahead of Euro 2012. Not just then, dear colleagues. Not just then. We believe that our whole territory...of our state must be made unsafe to live in for our citizens. And undoubtedly, once guests start coming to us, even more so.

Yet another reason for Merkel to stay at home for Euro 2012...

...and do some geography homework.

Countryside Toddler Dies as Hospitals Juggle Him

Dear West, can you send your doctors to Ukrainians who need them?

In a country where politicians of all stripes have so much gas, why do ambulances have so little? Why so many hospitals without doctors?

Police are now looking into how a cup of hot water killed the kid. In the unlikely event that someone goes to jail for this, will Western dignitaries flock to them too?

If you guys don’t want "selective justice," what do you want? Suicidal justice? Like, the Bloods turning themselves in or shooting themselves, and the Crips following suit?

Or maybe all you want for Ukraine is 100% stability and 0% accountability? Maybe you’re fine with the crooks as long as they don’t have the nukes?

 

Fellas, don’t shoot each other
In this life you have nothing to divvy up
At the round table forget your grievances
‘Cause burying friends is hard for everyone

If this is your song for Ukraine, why complain about corruption?

Yatsenyuk's 'Conceptually New' Vision of Ukraine (English Inside)

Sooooo Yushchenko. Except that this guy does speak English!

Here's the whole thing (the United Opposition Forum, May 12).

 

So what's new? Seriously, what's new? Nothing much. "We're the good guys! Vote for us again and good things will happen."

Never mind that we live worlds apart from you. Never mind that some of us are no longer with us. Joining the Yanukovych majority is no big deal. It's business as usual. It's nothing personal.

And can't you see the difference now? We speak E-N-G-L-I-S-H! Better English.

Yanukovych Pins 'Fascism' on WW II Vets in Gaffe

BOHICA!

Yanukovych: You made it through the hell of war. With Fascism, you were fully paying your debt of honor to...the Fatherland.

Ironically, the Fatherland also happens to be the name of Tymoshenko's party.

Tymoshenko Playing Sick, Kissing (With Lawyer?) on Fake (?) Video

She says she’s a good girl. They say she’s a bad girl.



Looks like a sideshow to the violence she says she suffered from during her forced transfer to the hospital.



Which led her to go on hunger strike.

Still, the place looks pretty much the same as the infirmary cell in the previous video released by the regime. With the not-so-fake Tymoshenko in it.



It's hard to be sure, but maybe there’s some truth to both sides of the story?

Meanwhile, in Holland...



...women can only rely on beer machines to keep their men out of Ukraine.

Keep Maiden Name or Switch to 'Yanukovych'? (Tihipko Unsure)

Here's a no-joke question to ask on April Fools' Day.

Reporter: Considering the merger between Strong Ukraine and the Party of Regions, are you going to switch your name to Yanukovych or keep your maiden name?
Vice PM Tihipko [caught off guard]: Thank you.

Speaking of maidens, watch another Vice PM, Raisa Bohatyryova, keep up with the Tymoshenkos on a shopping spree. With Tymoshenko in jail, Louis Vuitton needs all the customers they can get.



Oh, girls just wanna have fun. As does the guy who made the video.

Rallies Against ‘Killer Kids’ as Raped/Burned Girl Struggles for Life

FEMEN went on top of the Prosecutor General’s Office.

Смерть ублюдкам! from FEMEN Video on Vimeo.

Death to the sadists! Oksana, you have to pull through! Castrate the bastards! Murderers to jail!

One of the three "killer kids" in the Mykolayiv rape-and-burn case happens to be the son of a former prosecutor. (Not according to the local prosecutor’s office, of course.) Another one is the son of the city’s former top official. Well, at least no denials here. Both had been initially released but taken back into custody later on as public pressure built up. In this video, the third suspect apparently takes the fall for his buddies.

In Ukraine, you can beat, rape, strangle, mangle, hunt, kill and even burn people and get away with it. If you have cash or connections, of course. If you don’t, you better get together to defend yourself like these ordinary people do.

Rich "killer kids," or mazhory as we call them in Ukraine, have created a cultural phenomenon far more prevalent than student rampages in the US. Maybe it's because here in Ukraine violent crime of this nature goes unpunished far more often than in the US?

By virtue of the almighty dollar, not probable cause or Miranda, the perpetrators either receive ridiculous sentences or avoid any jail time whatsoever. The list goes on and on.

Some US and EU tourists love Ukrainian oligarchs. But...not the way of life that oligarchy enforces on its aborigines, as opposed to its aficionados. If you know any such aficionados personally, show them this girl.

Now imagine she's your daughter.

Actions speak louder than words. As of today, Ukrainians remain largely lethargic, with just a few small protests here and there. Still, even in the most lethargic part of Ukraine, people already mince no words.

Man: It might be a bit rude, but let him drop dead!

Woman: Let him live like I do. No jobs. My son just came back from the army and there are no jobs.

She’s talking about the guy who’s got a job — the job. The guy who doesn’t show up for work until 11:00 a.m. and calls it a day at 4:15 p.m.

If only he could dig up some more of that magic enriched uranium at his marvelous Mezhyhirya ranch.

Wouldn’t that be a great way to enrich Ukraine’s democracy at the upcoming Nuclear Servility Summit in Seoul?


R.I.P. Oksana (died March 29).

Zhirinovsky Rips Pugacheva (Tymoshenko/Prokhorov Endorser)

Celeb endorsers are a dime a dozen once he puts his two cents in.

Zhirinovsky: Why didn't you dislike Yeltsin back then? This half-drunk half-wit? Why did you all campaign for him back then? Why are you...
Pugacheva: You're a disgrace to our country!

Zhirinovsky: You keep quiet!
Pugacheva: You're a disgrace!

Zhirinovsky: Yeah, you keep quiet! You artists, like lowlife prostitutues, would go under any leader for money! You all went under Brezhnev, under Gorbachev, under Yeltsin, under Putin! Tomorrow I'll move into the Klemlin, Kremlin, and you all will be lying down, and I'll be spitting on you and wiping my feet on you! Shame on you! 22:55-23:27

Presidential debates can be so much when you have Zhirinovsky. You never get tired watching this guy. He's everything: a veteran jack-in-the-box, a convenient opposition figure, a patriot, a lover, a fighter, a rhetorical rocket.

At the end of the show, he puts Ukraine on his “friends of Russia” list, next to Iran and North Korea. Guess who’s on the “enemies of Russia” list? Now what did we do to deserve this? Didn’t we give away our nukes?

And what did we get in return? Oligarchs? Guys who, like Russia’s Prokhorov, are so admired in the free world? Admired when they're free to invest in London’s luxury. Admired when they're free to keep scores of Western gold-diggers around. But...not quite admired when they cut capers in Courchevel?

Does anyone remember Pugacheva’s singing endorsement of Tymoshenko in 2009? (After her gas deal had slated Ukraine to become Russia’s biggest and most profitable/punishable customer in 2010/11?)



Or Zhirinovsky “endorsement” of Obama in 2008?



Anyway, let’s see what sort of celebs will be endorsing Ukraine’s ruling Party of Regions and its opposition come this fall. Just don’t forget that the two seek coalitions, pass key bills together and trade talent.


Meet Oleksandr Volkov, of the KUCHMA Bloc. He's with Tymoshenko's BYuT now. What a major asset to the "Free Yulia!" campaign.

How about a Nobel Peace Prize? Hope Obama doesn't mind.



Zhirinovsky congratulates Putin. Not quite as loud, is he?

Ukrainian Athlete Bubka in Whitney Houston's Video

R.I.P. Whitney. F**k drugs.



I was 8 at the time, watching the 1988 Olympics on my black-and-white TV.

Watch Ukraine's Serhiy Bubka win his gold at the end of the video.

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me

Yeah, that's exactly what it felt like. Losing all that weight when I was 30.

Yatsenyuk: Free Tymoshenko as Ukraine Pays More than EU

It's all about freedom.



Government or opposition or grand coalition, they all need freedom. They need freedom — the freedom — to do whatever they want with this country.

Tymoshenko makes her gas ordeal with Putin, Yanukovych legitimizes it with his gas-for-fleet discount. Yatsenyuk wants Tymoshenko's vote, but not Yanukovych's verdict (in case he does what they did). That's the kind of freedom they all need.



Freedom from accountability. They play, we pay.



Decriminalize this DUI priest now! Priests and politicians must be free.
