The mills of our revolution grind well

March 31st, 2007 by Jerry

As you may have heard, we’re having a revolution.

Except it’s not really a revolution. It’s more like two neighbors who don’t get on with each other turning their stereos up really loud to annoy each other. The stereos are huge stages surrounded by flags. In Maidan, we have the Europe facing factions and about 200 meters down the road, we have the Russian guys. The European’s have rap and rock, the communists have great marching tunes.

If I stand on the toilet (I’m not kidding) and stick Janis’s camera and long lens out of the window I can see the stage - well the big screen by it. As I’m typing, Julia Tymoshenko is inciting us to do something in Russian. Look:

Julia

Boris is standing on the balcony disagreeing.

    That air ship looks like a talking bubble coming out of Yulia’s mouth. You could write her a comic strip.
