Sham Referendum

I wrote this over the weekend to discuss the vote Crimea will have on Sunday to determine its future.  Perhaps sham is too polite.

And no, there are no shots taken at Quebec's referenda.  And no, I forgot to include my line about how the CIS (the Commonwealth of Independent States) is the Ghostbusters of sham election monitoring since that is who you call when you want a sham election monitored in the former Soviet space.
