The clock winds down for Paksas

The Seimas opened its impeachment proceeding against Lithuanian President Paksas today. Only one count of the three carried over from the Constitutional Court has to stick by a 60% margin.

Scott at Baltic Blog, out of Estonia, is keeping his finger on the pulse. Seems the first vote is set for tomorrow.

This evening is this morning in Vilnius. NYC + 7.

Wise words: Abraham Lincoln once asked an audience how many legs a dog has if you count the tail as a leg. When they answered "five," Lincoln told them that the answer was four. The fact that you called the tail a leg did not make it a leg.

Aisling: (Irish: aislinn; pronounced ASH-ling): A vision poem.

In an aisling, the island of Ireland appears to the poet in a vision in the form of a woman, sometimes young and beautiful, sometimes old and haggard. This female figure is generally referred to in the poems as An Spéirbhean (the sky-woman).
