We here at Conflict Revolution were thinking of changing, or at least attempting to change, the subject of our discussions from Socialism to Capitalism - beginning a "Critique of Pure Capitalism" if you will.
Instead, I'm going to post some barely SFW links and videos which involve massive cleavage and incredible hair. Welcome to: The Trashy and the Classy, comparing images of women in political news today.
It's a tale of two Julias; a Tale of Two Cities of sorts, except you swap the first letter of Tale with the beginning consonant of Cities.
Exhibit A: A woman who has received international attention, winning the hearts and minds of the Mexican people
Ms. Julia Orayen, former Playboy Playmate and sometimes TV show messenger girl of 17 seconds
Exhibit B: A woman who has received international attention, winning the hearts and minds of the Ukrainian people
Mrs. Yulia Tymoshenko, former Prime Minister of Ukraine and hero of the country's democratic "Orange Revolution" [NYT]
Compare and Contrast:
Ms. Orayen enters the public arena (?) as...well, just see for yourself:
Clearly the Mexican Presidential debates are more interesting than our own - gotta give Telemundo credit where such credit is due.
Mrs. Tymo, though having been the leader of a freakin' country in the former Soviet Union, is now serving some combination of jail time in the Ukraine, imprisoned (and wrongly accused, many human rights activist groups claim) under nebulous indictments of corruption by other political factions.
Both Julia/Yulia get the same amount of airtime. Discuss.
