Another Domino Falls

Now Kyrgyzstan:

Protesters stormed the presidential compound in Kyrgyzstan on Thursday, seizing the seat of state power after clashing with riot police during a large opposition rally. President Askar Akayev reportedly fled the country and resigned.

An opposition leader, Kurmanbek Bakiyev, was at the scene, and state TV appeared to be in the hands of the opposition - underscoring the impression that it was consolidating control. Another leading opponent of the Akayev regime, Felix Kulov, was freed from prison and praised the "revolution made by the people."

Based simply on the seredipity of his name, extradimensional Superman tormentor Mr. Mxyzptlk also announced he would be seeking the Kyrgzstan presidency. If he doesn't win, he says, he'll just turn Superman into a giant purple frog, "just to keep [his] hand in the game."

Thanks to Capt. Anthony.

I'd like to buy a vowel, please!

Posted by: Matt on March 24, 2005 12:19 PM

It's a good thing "y" is (sometimes) a vowel, or else a UN relief agency would have to get involved and begin delivering vowels to the (warlords and kleptocrats of) Kyrgzstan.

You know, half the reason I've been hesitant to cover this story is that I just didn't want to bother to learn how to spell Kyrgzstan. Now that I've written it a couple of times -- Kyrgzstan -- I'm feeling more interested in their freedom.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks of the imp from the 5th dimension when seeing the names of some of these place that are too poor to afford vowels.

However, let's be honest. That whole "he won't go away until he says his name backwards" thing has to be one of the stupidest "weaknesses" in the history of comic book villains. I was pretty credulous as an 8 year old kid, but even I thought it was stupid.

Didn't Felix Kulov work for SMERSH?

Posted by: Eric J on March 24, 2005 01:17 PM

And once again, the protest babes come out to play. Although sadly, given the region/weather, they are over-clothed for the occasion. Freedom demands tank tops!
