"Bad Vlad" Putin has been elected to President of Russia again!
Boy I really "missed" him! That time when he "wasn't President" was rough.

Apparently the election was not fair!  Well, there's news for you!  I heard a Russian joke about him and the PM (I can't remember his name) in a bar.  The PM asks Putin 'I can't remember where we are at the moment Vladimir Am I President this week or am I Prime Minister?'  ' Get me a beer'.
 
In more breaking news it's British Pie Week!  Whoo Hoo!  (In Scotland it's just another week!)

Tom Tomorrow:
The left made him do it

Interesting “apology”.

In case there was any question about whether Rush Limbaugh is sincerely sorry for calling Sandra Fluke a slut—for three straight days—nope. He's not. Because, you see, it's not his fault. Obama and the Left made him do it:

I want to explain why I apologized to Sandra Fluke in the statement that was released on Saturday.  I've read all the theories from all sides, and, frankly, they are all wrong. I don't expect -- and I know you don't, either -- morality or intellectual honesty from the left.  They've demonstrated over and over a willingness to say or do anything to advance their agenda.  It's what they do.  It's what we fight against here every day.  But this is the mistake I made.  In fighting them on this issue last week, I became like them.
Yes, because everyone knows how "the Left" runs around calling women sluts for taking birth control, right? And besides, it's not that big a deal:
Against my own instincts, against my own knowledge, against everything I know to be right and wrong I descended to their level when I used those two words to describe Sandra Fluke.  That was my error.  I became like them, and I feel very badly about that.
What a silly little nothing error, using those two words—slut and prostitute. Non-stop. For three days. Which he wouldn't have had to do if not for Obama's socialist agenda:
What's gone on since and what really is going on here is what we all know to be true.  Our president, Barack Obama, has a socialist agenda when it comes to health care, when it comes to birth control, when it comes to virtually every aspect of his agenda.
See? It's all so clear now. Rush didn't mean to embrace the language of "the Left" by calling a woman a slut. It's just that Obama's socialism made him do it. He's not personally responsible for his attacks; those damned socialists and sluts are.
I am huge on personal responsibility and accountability, people providing for themselves when they're totally able to.
Sure you are, Rush. That's why you're blaming Obama and "the Left" for forcing you to launch a three-day slut crusade. Because of your hugeness on personal responsibility.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

'three day slut crusade'  lol
 
Since when has birth control been a Socialist agenda?
 
You see the Right will say anything to pretend that they are not evil incarnate.

Why does anyone care what Rush says or thinks (if you can assign such a process to him)? Further, why do people cling to silly left/right distinctions to fight amongst themselves?

Because it's easier to distinguish each fighter: "On my left, undefeated for 4 mandates, FDR! On my right, a new challenger appears!"

LOL That would be quite a "shock"!
I havn't heard that (though who'd be surprised?) but of course the greater joke is he never really stopped being President. Maybe more accurate he never stopped being in charge, guess the title doesn't matter.
Straight up old school communist style right there?

Who cares anyway? Seen that guy shirtless? Putin will kill you with his mind, then chop up the body with one hand.
What a beast

1) You just reached the Godwin point, which isn't a good thing;
2) If no one cared, who voted for him then?

Orangutans using iPads
 They video chat with other apes

  
 
 Links


Scientists and layman alike have long speculated on ways to better indoctrinate primates and
other animals with human technology. Dolphins have already demonstrated an ability to interact
with iPad technology with researchers using it as a language interaction device between dolphins
and humans. There are even several iPad games made specifically for cats.
LOL
That's Clem isn't it? Tongue

1) Sorry, I was channeling Rush Limbaugh.
2) OK so some people cared for Hitler...
3) He might have been referring to the band.Wink

I think a lot of people cared since they murdered for him. I don't know why I'm addressing your non-sequitur in the first place.
