WHAT'S GOIN' ON?

Trying to live a practical, but compassionate life towards all living creatures (animal, mineral, vegetable, humanable) without being a self-righteous ass.

Heavens the world is ending!

So things are falling apart in Eastern Europe, and I've been ignoring it.

Unlike the people I went to school with, I'm not a politics junkie. I get sucked up into other interests, and can go for weeks at a time reading no more than the headlines. But the headlines have been piling up (Georgie, Poland, and Musharraf? Really?) and I must admit it's time for me to catch up.

Anyway, I never got the opportunity to take the much-lauded course on post-Soviet politics, so I'm not very knowledgeable about that part of the world. But one can always rely on the trusty BBC Q&A... off I go...
