Back from the (former) U.S.S.R.

Ok, I'm back from Kiev and other former lands of the Soviet Republic. Did I miss anything?

Is President Bush still a Republican?
Is former IL Governor George Ryan in prison yet?
Is Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker still in the Republican Primary?
Any other Supreme Court Justices kick?

I'll need to get the brain synapses firing again as I fight though some serious jet lag.
