You are terrific, Natalia

An under reported story of incredible courage.
In her own daring protest, she signed: "I am addressing everybody who is deaf in the Ukraine. Our president is Victor Yushchenko. Do not trust the results of the central election committee. They are all lies. . . . And I am very ashamed to translate such lies to you. Maybe you will see me again -- " she concluded, hinting at what fate might await her. She then continued signing the rest of officially scripted news.

In a time where I find an awful lot of things wrong in the US, it's sometimes good to be reminded how lucky I am to be here.

I'm wearing orange tomorrow.
