Note to John McCain

John McCain: I do believe that he’s hell-bent on the restoration of Russia as a major power in the world.

Note to John McCain: Russia is a major power in the world.

I'm glad to see our President

Is keeping himself busy with current events:

Phelps swam 1.41 seconds faster than his world-record time at the United States Olympic trials in July. His face widened in surprise when he saw his time on the large videoboard. He glanced at the stands, where President Bush was vigorously waving an American flag, and gave him a nod.

Times like this

I wish we had some moral authority to prevent Russia from invading a random country.

Fuck Russia

And your horrible country. I saw this via Andrew Sullivan and words can't describe how happy I am to not live there:

The unnamed executive, a 22-year-old from St Petersburg, had been hoping to become only the third woman in Russia's history to bring a successful sexual harassment action against a male employer.

She alleged she had been locked out of her office after she refused to have intimate relations with her 47-year-old boss.

"He always demanded that female workers signalled to him with their eyes that they desperately wanted to be laid on the boardroom table as soon as he gave the word," she earlier told the court. "I didn't realise at first that he wasn't speaking metaphorically."

The judge said he threw out the case not through lack of evidence but because the employer had acted gallantly rather than criminally.

"If we had no sexual harassment we would have no children," the judge ruled. [...]

According to a recent survey, 100 per cent of female professionals said they had been subjected to sexual harassment by their bosses, 32 per cent said they had had intercourse with them at least once and another seven per cent claimed to have been raped.

WTF - 100% of women face sexual harassment and it's okay because that's how you make babies. In my world babies should come from consensual love/planning between two people, not someone's boss forcing themselves on a woman.
