Well…this is a little far afield for what I normally do here…oh, no not really…Turkey is having it’s presidential election today with the good chance to rid themselves of Erdogan who has been in power there for 20 years and has taken the country farther and farther to the right as he had his political enemies locked up and supported Russia in it’s invasion of Ukraine…and this is the guy who  has kept Sweden out of NATO for some reason and generally has screwed up Turkey’s economy to the benefit of himself and his cronies…so I really do hope that his challenger wins today and then maybe Turkey can start to restore it’s democracy and one more strong man hits the ash heap of history…geez…
