This is the best thing I'm going to see all day. I'm telling myself that those are some sort of hateful documents floating in the water, and not books.

Oh, they were. He had lists of people he took bribes from and plans about military action against the protestors, among other things. He dumped them all before he ran. Personally, I'd have burned them, but that's me.

AWESOME.

Unfortunately, it seems like he's still causing trouble. Reports aren't clear about whether he made it to Russia or is being held somewhere (or just hiding), and Putin may try to use finding him as a reason to move into Crimea. It's be super nice of Putin would stop it with the taking over the world thing now, and just let Ukrainians set up a democratic government in peace. :/

My husband was both amused and horrified at the petting zoo. The Ukrainian economy is in the (golden?) toilet but fear not, Yanukovych has ostriches, so it's all good!

Are the animals still being taken care of?

Thanks.

This comforts me a bit.

This is kind of glorious to see, especially because there's no doubt those are probably damning documents in the rivers. I hope this revolt lets the people of Ukraine have a better life.

A private zoo. Seriously.
