World: Ukraine’s election heads into dramarama with contested result

  • Yulia Tymoshenko lost, but she won’t concede. Despite wishes by the West that she concede (and their acceptance of Viktor Yanukovich’s victory), Tymoshenko, whose hair is made of stone, was quoted as saying she “will never recognize” Yanukovich’s victory, and her supporters will fight the result. Tymoshenko’s loss would be a huge blow to the Orange Revolution which took place after the 2004 election and got her into office. source

Politics: Dan Savage is ready to spread some more santorum in 2012

Rick Santorum

The Republican plans to run for president, but not without a filthy Google result that shows up when you search for his last (or even his first) name. Savage credits his readers for the success of the endeavor.source
