Petro Poroshenko has been pondering how best to convince his sceptical backers at the IMF and World Bank of his seriousness in all those "reforms" he keeps talking about. While he's been busy talking, the country's economy keeps sliding into the abyss, no economic indicators are improving, and it's business as usual for the corrupt oligarchs who have steered the country over the cliff.
But that's all going to change now!
Yessiree!!! Poroshenko has hit a home run with this idea! He's bringing in former president of Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili as Governor of Odessa region with a mandate to stamp out corruption and introduce reforms!
The man skipped Georgia days before the last election, sensing which way the winds were blowing, and is currently wanted there for embezzlement! He was not even a Ukrainian citizen until Poroshenko arbitrarily declared him such on Saturday.
But he's going to restore Poroshenko's credibility in the eyes of his Western backers?

Commie blogger sees light, applies for job at Caterpillar plant in Georgia
That's right folks!
Gonna roll up the rugs here at Falling Downs and head for the Peach State. I'll be joining up with my dream team, the Newt and Cain Travelling Revival Show.
Gonna stay awhile too.
Dusted off those welding tickets and sent my resume to Caterpillar. Got my eye on one of those twelve dollar an hour jobs at the new plant they're building just outside Athens.
Already scoped out the real estate market in the new 'hood. Figure I can find me a nice,and I mean really nice trailer within a fifteen minute drive of the plant for about fifty thou. Maybe even less if I bargain hard.
Planning to pick up some new wheels too. No point heading south with the fleet. Fellow over in Johns Creek has a almost mint '79 Lincoln Town Car on offer for a mere $3,500. Has the half-vinyl roof and the leather interior, and according to the ad almost everything works.
The '79 was the last of the big sleds. Two and a half tons of American glory floating down the Interstate! Cadillac had downsized in '77. Lincoln didn't go to the smaller platform till '80. This particular car has the 400 instead of the 460, and lacks the moon roof, but I'm sure she'll do fine for my new life in Georgia.
Coincidentally, twelve bucks an hour was what I made at Harjim Machinery Works when that Lincoln was new, but I couldn't afford it then.
Just goes to prove that good things come to those who wait long enough!
