Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of our friends and readers in King Ukraine County, Washington State and around the world. Extra special wishes to our brothers and sisters in the Ukraine who have set an example for all of us by standing up for their freedom and demanding a revote of their tainted election.

I'll also announce a winner in our contest to write topical lyrics to the tune of Shchedrik, the Ukrainian Carol of the Bells. [listen to MIDI here].
After counting the judge's votes 3 times, we award the victory to Steve Rodli of Tacoma. Steve's was the only entry, but it was a good one. He penned it a few days before Governor-pretend Fraudoire declared herself the winner, so it was prescient.
Hark how the countsThe contest is over, but in the spirit of reconciliation, I'll also allow any Democrats up to six weeks to submit their entries and will reserve the right to declare a different winner at any time.
Seem to announce,
It’s Dino’s day
Chris is passéNew day is here
Fresh start next year
Dems lose their hold
Voters keep their goldLocke looking wan
Something is wrong
Gloom starts to creep
Leftwingers weepSmell lib’ral fear
Ballots appear
Out of thin air
Found here and thereRushing around
Still more are found
Tell judge the tale
To no availFunny how King
County Auditing
Acts so sincere
Isn’t it queer?In a moment of brain disconnection
Ralph Munro calls for a new election.
How will it end?
Who will they send
Dragging tail home?
Who gets the bone?
Going, going, gone. Bong!
Until then, congratulations on a job well-done, Steve. Let me know when you're next in Seattle and lunch is on me.
Lie has penetrated every hole.
Our village is small - several yards and about 40 people. Mostly pensioners. But even Konyushivka, the village in Lypovetskiy region of Vinnytsya oblast ,is affected by this horrible infection, which can be called a bug of lie[s], which, unfortunately, our society suffers.
Even in the first round of the presidential election I, the owner of the seed-bed of decorative and fruit crop... had to be persistent and hard to perform my civil duty – to execute the right of the citizen of Ukraine and vote for the future of my children, future of my country. First, a day before the election, I had to put enough efforts to see my name in the voters list. On the next day, that is the election day, everything was like a roundabout. Voting process took more than three hours. First my name is in the wrong list, then the list is not at the polling station and so on. And all this lasted for half a day, being done kindly, carefully, and even with some apprehension. Guess they hoped that I would lose my patience and go away. But they failed, and I performed my civil duty and voted as my consciousness told me, for better fate for Ukraine. Not to be a «milch cow» for racketeers in tax police uniform who live by «criminal notions». For my children not to lower their eyes because of fear.
I... was shocked by what happened in the second round of the presidential election. Lie filled everything around, filled every hole. There was not a trace of democracy here. As I found out at the polling station, in two houses (Myru street 6 and 7) which I own and where no-one else besides me is registered, three more persons, whom I haven’t heard about, were registered. Same way unknown people were registered by my single neighbors.
My vote against three fictive ones is worth nothing! My children will have no future if we agree to such a pseudo-democracy. Bandits threatened region and villages councils and have imposed their will. I called to President’ reception in Kyiv, called to Illintsi polling district but none cared about my worries: get lost and that’s it.
But bandits who have grown into the body of the country were mistaken – I won’t get lost. That’s why I am writing this letter to all those who want to hear the truth and support democracy in his/her country. All those who are not indifferent to his/her own fate and fate of the country, which is our Motherland, we must say “NO” to bandits who have pressed down on the country! Let’s say “TAK (YES)!” to happy future! Posted by: Mac on December 25, 2004 04:32 PM
I bet all three are named: Cristina Rossivic

Thank you for your nice words.
Know that many freedom loving citizens all over the world support you. Members of my extended family has voted today in Ukraine, and hopefully will the democratic will of the people triumph over corruptions in
We must not let former communists, leftists, or democrats like Gregoire steal elections like they have tried in Ukraine, Belarus, and now Washington State.
Rossi won. Jushchenko won.
Dont let the other side steal democracy.
