Rant/Rave: The return of Russia!

[GatewaySnayke]

K, I just watched a two-week old "Colbert Report" this afternoon and was unaware that Putin has named himself prime minister and expanded his powers.

Rant: I'm worried that someone is going to think it's a good idea to go to war with Russia and act like we will be greeted as liberators and democracy spreaders.

Rave: RETURN OF THE COLD WAR!! This excites me, because finally I get to experience the bitterness towards Russians like we did before The Collapse. Just think...

*Red Dawn II
*Rocky VII
*(Maybe) renewed interest in the Olympics. Imagine Mario Lemieux coming out of retirement and teaming up with Sidney Crosby to take on the evil Russians...whoever they are. And what about Andrei Kirilenko leading the Russian team to the championship game this summer to take on the Americans?
*Witty t-shirts denouncing Russia
*Another space race -- this time a race to an asteroid!

And how about this? McCarthyism becomes McCainism!

As long as Putin is in power, Roman Abramovich makes more billions. As long as Roman Abramovich makes more billions, Chelsea can avenge their Champions League loss.

Go Putin. Go myopia.
