Ukraine crisis: Opposition asserts authority in Kiev
BBC:
Ukraine's opposition has asserted its authority over Kiev and parliament in a day of fast-paced events. MPs have replace the parliamentary speaker and attorney general, appointed a new pro-opposition interior minister and voted to free jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko. Police appear to have abandoned their posts across the capital. Protesters in Kiev have walked unchallenged into the president's official and residential buildings. President Viktor Yanukovych and opposition leaders signed a peace deal on Friday after several days of violence in which dozens of people died in a police crackdown on months of protest.
The message here is simple, politicians should learn how information flows before engaging in deceit. Our politicians will learn this fairly fast as the rebels continue to close in on the USA.
Speaking of information flow, let us see the latest results from Tim Draper's idea.
Here is a poll, split three ways. No, yes but not so many states, and yes. Let us divide them into, yes, some sort of split and no, not at all. So the yes, some split is 40%, no not at all is 58%. This is up from 23% vs 65% a few months ago. This is called the flow of information, voters figuring out that democracy is really important. Voters are pricing in the secstags, and politicians, as usual, are as dumb as Putin at the moment. Politicians will get on this pretty quick. My own rep, Jim Costa in Fresno, Ca, may progress from incredibly stupid to just a bit less stupid; which would be a miracle.
