Post Moderne - We're winning! It's hard to find bad news these days. Everything seems to be breaking our way. - The Parliament has voted out Yanukovych. Theoretically, Kuchma could keep him in power for up to two more months before appointing a new one. But he's damaged goods, so it's hardly likely. - Talk is that Parliamentary Speaker Lytvyn is supported by some in Yushchenko's bloc, and that Kuchma is likely to appoint him. He's moved from a supporter of Kuchma to a centrist recently, and has conducted himself with a lot of class throughout this whole crisis. Other people getting named are Tymoschenko and Socialist leader Alexandr Moroz. Both of them would be great in the role. - Yanukovych's HQ is surrounded by orange people. He himself is secluded, and Kuchma says he's "sick" and can't appear publicly. Right. - Maidan is reporting that the extremist group Bratsvo is planning a provocation to damage Yushchenko, as they were hired by the ruling powers to do during the campaign as well. They're traveling to Odessa and plan to seize public buildings while wearing Yushchenko colors. Our people have denounced this and called on the authorities to deal with them. This is a sign of desparation. - Just walked past Mikhailovskiy Cathedral, and saw a new 30X20 meter fenced structure going up. The people building it have no idea who ordered it. It'll be interesting to find out who's behind this. -NOTE WELL -- we haven't won. There is still a LOT the regime can do. But the momentum is on our side. Now that we're winning the battle, it's important that we don't lose the peace. postmodernclog.com
