If anybody’s got their eye on somebody elses oil and gas, that would be us. (The invasion of Iraq, remember? Trying to turn Georgia into a western NATO state, remember?)

How can we criticize Russia for reacting to a Georgian military incursion that killed 2,000 South Ossetian civilians Russia was assigned by the UN to protect? When that incursion also killed UN-sanctioned Russian peacekeepers, right across Russia’s own border? And what right have we to act all superior, after our own damn government recently sent an invasion force halfway around the world to attack and occupy a nation that hadn’t even attacked us?

I’m no big fan of the Russians. But I recognize they’ve got their own legitimate concerns. We should show them the same respect we expect to get. Particularly in their own backyard.

We didn’t. So now they’re asserting themselves.

It is not in the interest of the United States to push them again, harder, just to see if they’re serious. They’re plenty serious. And in their own back yard, they hold a far stronger hand.

Seven and One Half points on the PUMA FEAR scale.

Hell, maybe they could all wriggle under a bus and do a hootchie-cootchie dance while shouting out, in time, NOBAMA, NO WAY!

No fear, Barry Soetoro will, like his hero and the man he models himself after (political lightweight, substance abuser with no substance, Harvard degree, daddy issues), George Bush, look straight into Putin’s eyes, see his soul, and ALL WILL BE WELL.

Have another glass of Koolaid…you don’t want to get parched.

I rate your diatribe, for its length, earnestness, and the obligato DIRE WARNING at the end, a solid SEVEN on the FEAR PUMA scale (One=UNWORRIED; Ten=Wetting pants, scared shitless).

I’ll bet you have one all ready to tell us how the guy who kissed the asses of prolifers Casey and Kaine is going to someone “SAVE” settled law like Roe v. Wade, too, eh?

Pull that one out, and I’ll probably give you an Eight or a Nine!

STRIPPER GRAMMMAS.

Old ladies in strip tease attire, asking that bastard why he threw his GRAMMA under the bus!

Oh, and she voted against FUNDING IT, too!

Cynthia is no flipflopper! And she’s “African AMERICAN” as opposed to one from column African, one from column American. And YES, there is a difference.

If you’re looking for a protest vote to shove in people’s faces because you can’t bear the idea of pulling the lever for the Ancient Mariner, for whatever reason, Cynthia’s a good choice.

Q. Who’d you vote for?

A. The BLACK candidate.

Of course, the fools will go away smug, and then not understand why Obama lost and Cynthia got more votes than Nader in 2000!

It would make me laugh!

He went to visit Granny ….. ALONE.

Then, at a later point in time, he “stopped by” enroute to dinner at a restaurant with a gift basket, and dragged the kids along bearing gifts–books or something. They stayed for “minutes.” It wasn’t a VISIT…it was a “drop off.”

I’m not looking for conspiracies where none are in evidence, but if I wanted to be suspicious, I’d imagine The Anointed One telling TWG (Typical White Granny) to “Shut the fuck up if you know what’s good for you….lissen up, old woman…anyone asks about me, you let MAYA handle it. OR ELSE. You nod, look vacant, and drool a bit…eventually they’ll leave you alone! You are NOT gonna screw this up for me–ZIP it, SWEETIE!”

Mrs. Dunham was a VERY STRONG WOMAN in her prime. She was one of the first women bank vice presidents on the island. She was no “Tammy Wynette, baking cookies and standing by her man” either…maybe that’s why His Holiness found her ‘expendable??’

We know he has daddy issues, he wrote about them.

The more I think about it, though, I believe he has MOMMY ISSUES, too.
