I'll admit that I've been out of the loop for a while. I've been avoiding the news, and I certainly haven't been posting anything here. But from time to time one is compelled to speak out against outrageous injustice. For me that time is now.
And so I demand, here in the public, that Russia withdraw from Georgia, that they do it swiftly, and that they leave nothing but apologies in their wake.
Perhaps they could also leave vouchers of some kind in their wake. For something made in Russia. Raspberry Vodka or something.
Agents and actors on behalf of Russia have been making hay of things like US troops having trained in Georgia, or even our great President having visited Georgia. How silly! We paid for those bases, we'll train troops in them, and our elected officials will visit them as often as we, as the greatest nation on Earth, like.
Clearly Russia is trying capture some of that "American Magic." They've been witness to the massive economic success we've seen as a result of our various invasions, and they're simply trying to replicate that. Perhaps their actions stem from a concern that they need to diversify their economy and move away from one based solely on the export of petroleum products and leggy blonde white slaves. Sure, that economy has managed a budget surplus of nearly $18 billion dollars. That may even seem like a good thing to the uneducated and filthy, like the Russians. But clearly massive budget shortfalls and debt are the key to real economic dynamism, as is evidenced by our great nation.
You enjoying that XBox? You bet your ass you are.
So while Russia's rationale may be understandable, they've picked the wrong nation to invade. I mean, Georgia? Really? Why not pick one of those Istans south of you. No one can even name those places, let alone find them. Take one of those. Hell, take two.
But invading Georgia is not OK. It's not "peachy." And while we may not have the military capability to do it now, sooner or later, Russia, the people of Georgia will drive you into the Atlantic.
Analogcabin @ 9:11 AM ------------------------- Analogcabin @ 9:11 AM ------------------------- Hillary Clinton's foreign policy experience is much vaunted, especially by her. Consider her time in Bosnia: Analogcabin @ 6:40 AM ------------------------- So there were a lot of pundits who speculated that the leaked memo which said the Obama campaign downplayed to the Canadian embassy the importance of his NAFTA comments cost Barack a lot of votes in Ohio and Texas. It might have even cost him the win. Analogcabin @ 1:09 PM ------------------------- Analogcabin @ 8:10 AM ------------------------- In a move that is sure to assuage the fears of institutional investors and venture capitalists worldwide, King Kong Bushy, fresh off demanding a five count from a surgified Iraq, has agreed with Congress on an economic stimulus package. The plan, designed to forestall the utter collapse of civilization that is hurtling toward us like a fat man on banana peel skis, should put a whopping $600 into the pockets of every taxpaying American. Analogcabin @ 9:48 AM ------------------------- We've got another one today, everybody. I'll keep it short: If you're in New Hampshire and registered, get out there and vote for Barack.

That the mainstream media continues to let these incredible fabrications stand is depressing if not surprising.

Except that the memo didn't say anything like that, and the comments in question actually came from the Clinton campaign.
This is what we're up against.

If you really want to read something, why not check out this post from way back in February 2007 in which I speculated about what might happen with Obama and McCain's pledges to use only public financing in the general, should their opponent do the same. I think it's interesting to think about again, now that we're closer to the rubber hitting the road.
