BACK IN THE USSR
French President Sarko has brokered a cease fire in the Russian-Georgian crisis and I hope it sticks. LINK. Putin's puppet "President" Dimitri Medvedev surfaced and addressed the Russian people in strikingly Bushian tones: we've kicked the aggressor's ass. Blah, blah, blah. It was nice of the ventriloquist to let the dummy, who really puts the dim in Dimitri, speak. Hmm, I wonder if Vlad was drinking a glass of water offstage whilst the dummy rattled on...
Putin leads (and Medvedev pretends to lead) a revanchist/irredentist faction in Russia that remains bitter over the collapse of the Soviet Union. They very much want to go back, back, back to the USSR as well as make their enemies visit the irredentist's office for a cheka-up. <rim shot>
Here's a clip of Macca belting out Back In The USSR at Red Square in 2003. Woo:
I wonder if Putin was there shaking his white, skinny booty and singing along when Macca sang "And that Georgia's always on my my my mind." Rock, the Kremlin, Vlad, Me. I'd rather keep on rocking in the free world:
When you talk about destruction, John had it right ...
When Russia held their Soviet style military parade back in May, it was
getting pretty obvious. Though the <a href="http://www.reuters.com/artic
le/politicsNews/idUSN0630109020080506">US response</a> was pretty
funny.
"Back in the USSR" in Red Square, eh. Back when the White Album came out,
who'd'a thunk it?
