"Ukraine Has Not Yet Died."


Boy, sobering title for a national anthem.

And it has not. The opposition is in control in Kiev and the president, Russian puppet Viktor Yanukovych, has fled to the East, vowing not to give up power...his flight strong circumstantial evidence that he ain't got much of that power thing now. Congratulations to the bare-chested, brave-hearted Ukrainian people.

Image: Look at that photograph. It has the look of a Renaissance painting, the gold coloring, dramatic lighting, ominous smoke, religious symbolism. Orthodox Church officials stood between the lines of the police and protesters during the troubles. Amazing photo.
