I think I'd rather have Putin without a shirt than Kissinger in anything, unless of course they have a teeny avatar where he's wearing a black and white striped suit with a ball and chain.

Cheney could have an identical avatar and I'd use it....

My "no" meant he doesn't need a sarcasm thingy.

To me, Putin being Russian doesn't make him evil "YET" - He has a problem with LGBT and that may go away, or may not. We shall see. Obama and Kerry are willing to work with him, so, I'll just keep quiet on Putin for a while. because staying out of another war is very important.

Kissinger has proved himself and so has Cheney. I think they are evil, even if Cheney is okay with gays..

What's the latest on Russia and the Olympics? Haven't heard anything about their bashing or beating up gays for a while.

What the hell is blini?

In his nearly 20-minute address on the Senate floor, Reid argued that it was the nation’s duty to act, and he invoked the tragedy of the Holocaust and quoted from Dante’s Inferno to help make his case.

“The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality,” Reid said, adding later: “In World War II, six million Jews and tens of thousands of gypsies, disabled people, gay people and political dissidents were murdered. Never again? Now we’re faced with that choice again.”

This is a small lesson in different cultural norms. In Eastern Europe, including Russia, kissing a kid's stomach is standard.

It might horrify Americans who have no idea that things could be different around the world, but that is NOT CONSIDERED child abuse in Eastern Europe, or among Eastern European Immigrant communities around the world.

I guess this is one more instance of we don't do this in the US, and you need to abide but what we think cause you see, we are exceptional.

I guess people are truly proud of their willful ignorance.

And he has to suffer the way other celebrities do by being the subject of modest mockery.

I don't think he minds!
