Normally I would summarize here, but you should really follow the link to see the difference. Before and after pictures are quite amazing. What's amazing to me is that he continues to fight tooth and nail for fair elections. If elected, he'll have to have an old testament style cup-bearer.

It's a dangerous thing to be pro-democracy and pro-west in that part of the world. I hope he wins.

Really puts Watergate in perspective, doesn't it. That is, unless Ford attempted to hit Carter with a dart full of clorox during their campaign and I didn't hear about it.

And I though the Cold War was over.

hi, no offense! But somehow I just don't believe that he was poisoned. I'm not saying that he did it to himself that would be crazy. But, I don't believe that the opposition candidate did it, although Yushchenko and the people around him, sometimes, implied it.
But, that's just me...u know

P.S. I do agree that he looks awful... [Frown]
