Crimean ballot is one-sided; former Ukrainian leader wants back.

This is funny, in a seriously effed up way.  That Crimean vote coming next week has a ballot with just two options:

• Join Russia;
• Restore 1992 constitution giving Crimea independence and right to join Russia.

There is no option to say no.

Yeah...democracy now!

Separately, Yanukovich invokes stupid and says that he's going back to Kiev.  I'm guessing the police will be waiting at the airport to arrest him.

You know what's happening here, though: Russia is using him as bait.  Once he gets arrested, Russia will invite itself to the party in Kiev with a full-blown invasion, with the pretense of "rescuing the legitimate president of Ukraine".
