So what did I do today? Well, I turned off my cookies and submitted just enough votes for the opposing candidate in the online poll on http://www.bakutoday.net about the forthcoming Azerbaijani election.

Baku Today is the pro-government news feeder in Azerbaijan, which labels themselves as being independent. Azerbaijan is a supposed democracy, financially supported by the US. Basically I am told by my roommate, that the government sells the country's oil and keeps the money. The people doesn't like it.

Coincidently the president has been missing for 3 months while his son has been running the country. Democracy? The people fear he will take the election most likely by starting riots on Election Day and blaming the opposition. You will probably never hear about it.

Unless you want to get on a plane, just vote for Isa Gambar on http://www.bakutoday.net

By the way, Ilham Aliyev is the bad guy :)
