In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.
The religious right is motivated by the suspicion that someone, somewhere,
is having fun -- and that this must be stopped.

Best summary of the Georgian war I've seen
No, Civil War fans, this isn't about Sherman's March to the Sea. I'm talking about the Former Soviet Georgia, which the Russian bear just slapped silly and threw against the wall as an object lesson to small nations that want to piss off neighboring large (and surly) nations. And The Political Cat has probably the best round-up I've seen on the situation so far. I especially like one of his snarky lines: He (Saakashvili) is trying to draw the U.S. and Europe into a war with Russia — a war which no one will win. Vladimir Putin is an ex-KGB man and nobody's fool. And unfortunately, the U.S. is currently in the hands of the biggest fool to ever walk the planet.

Ground rules: Comments that consist solely of insults, fact-free talking points, are off-topic, or simply spam the same argument over and over will be deleted. The penguin is the only one allowed to be an ass here. All viewpoints, however, are welcomed, even if I disagree vehemently with you.
WARNING: You are entitled to create your own arguments, but you are NOT entitled to create your own facts. If you spew scientific denialism, or insist that the sky is purple, or otherwise insist that your made-up universe of pink unicorns and cotton candy trees is "real", well -- expect the banhammer.

The only part missing is the neo-con philosophy espoused by the Georgian leader. He is one of the troo beleevers. Which is why the Reality-Based Community of Russia whipped his @ss.
ReplyDeleteHe should move to the US and hold (mom's) basement conferences with the Kagans, Kristols, and other Cheeto eaters.

Thanx, Tux!
ReplyDeleteStuff like this is why I read ya, Tux. There's lots of sites where I can get snark. But you're like another set of eyes that's scanning info-bits that expands my knowledge (without me having to do the work of sifting through all sorts of BS stories.) Thanks!
