Okay, it's the blonde braid — and we cats realize we're being terribly superficial about history in the making. But ever since we saw Yulia Tymoshenko's moving speech to the Ukrainian protesters in Independence Square, we haven't been able to get "The Farmer's Daughter" out of our minds.
Please don't, however, assume that we're making fun of what's happening in Kiev. We think it's fabulous. Here's why:
John McCain, as usual, jumped the gun and went way over the top in his language — right before President Obama called Vlad Pootie and an agreement to stop the violence was signed. Hey, John! We are all Ukrainians now!
The anti-government protesters swarmed over ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych's tacky, Alpine-themed residence outside Kiev — but didn't loot or do anything destructive. (Good, because we cats were worried about the animals in Yanukovych's personal zoo, who haven't done anything bad to anybody.)
So, long story short: Vlad's puppet president has been impeached and has run far, far away — just as the entire world is watching, because Vlad's stupid anti-gay Olympics are about to end. We can't think of a more humiliating end to that sorry spectacle (except perhaps for Team USA's loss to Finland in hockey today.... 5-zip, ouch). Aside from that, we cats PURR.
