Show of Power Needed in Ukraine (Updated)

The situation in Ukraine is fairly bad. After rejecting Putin puppet, Viktor Yanukovych, Ukraine is threatened by Russia. Russian soldiers have taken over airports, parliament and government buildings in the ethnic Russian dominated Ukrainian border with Russia, Crimea. Like they did with Georgia when they invaded in the summer of 2008, they are distributing passports to anti government militia and will use the excuse of protecting their citizens for an invasion.

Thoughts on My Brother's Keeper.

Today with all the fanfare, splendor, pomp and pulpit of the presidency , President Barack Obama launched his new initiative, My Brother's keeper, designed to help young men of color and reduce the opportunity gap between them and their caucasian peers. I am traveling so this will be brief so pardon the hurriedness.

Yanukovych has fallen!

Late last year I wrote about the protests that were happening in Kiev's Maidan Square when they were in their infancy, I fully supported the will of the Ukrainian people in having their country's fortunes united with that of the European Union, given that being a client and puppet State to Russia had brought them nothing but misery and oligarchic corruption. Well, today it's my pleasure to announce that dictator-lite and Putin wannabe, Viktor Yanukovych has lost control of all state organs, the parliament has decided to vote him out, and the police and the interior ministry have now joined the people, it looks as if his tenure of terror is over.
