Vladimir Putin, Trojan?

Okay, but I'm not sure we want him roaming the sidelines:

Then again, I'm not sure we ever wanted Snoop Dogg roaming the sidelines, either. Unfortunately, nobody listens to me about these things. :)

Putin opponent sent to psych hospital

By Brendan Loy

I looked into his soul, and I saw fascism:

A Russian opposition activist has been sent to a psychiatric hospital by authorities a day before a planned demonstration. ...

His case is the latest example of journalists or opposition activists being involuntarily committed to psychiatric hospitals in Russia.

During the Soviet era, dissidents were frequently committed for protesting against Soviet policies.

Well, in light of Putin's ever-growing dictatorial tendencies, a case can be made that you've got to be crazy to oppose him.

Today in Russia...

By Brendan Loy

Vladimir Putin dissolved his government...

...the military announced the creation and testing of "The Dad Of All Bombs"...

...and a bunch of people had sex.

Somehow, I'm sure these events are all connected. And the connection probably involves vodka.

Not because they are easy, but because they are hard

By Brendan Loy

Russia will send a man to the Moon by 2025. But will they do the other things?

P.S. Maybe they could send Putin? And leave him there?

P.P.S. In Soviet Russia, you do not send man to Moon; Moon sends man to you.
