Lithuanian Presidential Election Watch

With the removal of Paksas through impeachment, Lithuania will have a special election. We have the opportunity to watch this process from toes-in-the-tepid-waters maybe-I'll-run semi-announcements to election night returns.

Here's the first names to surface.

Over the next few months, I'll present the laws, the process, and info on the players as best I can. Any Eastern European political handicappers out there looking for a place to view cogent opinion?

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).
