A Little Fraud? So What.

BREAKING NEWS

Secretary of State Powell says United States does not accept results of Ukraine's presidential elections, due to reports of fraud. Details soon.
[from cnn.com]

Wait just a second here. George Bush's appointed Secretary of State is declaring reports of fraud in the Ukraine are invalidating the presidential elections?

We're confused. First, we aren't so sure why Powell's opinion matters since the Ukraine is a sovereign nation. After all, if China declared the 2000 American Presidential election invalid because of fraud, would that have made a difference?

Meanwhile we're still wondering about The 2004 Election. Whomever you supported, you should be concerned about electronic voting. Meanwhile, we don't see how this would be a problem in the Ukraine since we're almost certain their voting machine is really just a matter of determining which candidate's pile of sticks is bigger.

Now there is also the matter of the presidential candidates: Yanukovych and Yushchenko. Are we the only people who find these names the least bit humorous? just say it Yanukkovych. What is that, a vodka? Yushchenko. Sounds like raw seafood meets russian novelist.
