Brickbat: Upon Further Review …

Turkish election officials have thrown out the results of an election for Istanbul's mayor. Turkey's ruling AKP party contested the election after the results showed them losing the mayor's seat for the first time in 25 years. Mehmet Bekaroğlu, a member of the CHP party, whose candidate won the election, said AKP officials threatened election officials with prison if they did not vote to overturn the election. A new mayoral election will be held in June.

If at first you don't succeed, hold another vote until you do.

If at first you don't succeed, try the winner first, then try the election again.

The proof if a rigged election is that the wrong person won. Duh.

Reason, I need these posted in the early morning hours again. How am I supposed to wake up without my first thing in the morning nut punch? This used to be my coffee!

Now, I cannot decide if I should fly home through Istanbul, Paris, or London and accidentally miss my connecting flight to NYC.
