1. But Putin's cheering on the YES crowd. He compares it to Crimea, like they're exactly the same.

93% of the vote.

10. Well, I have to figure he's popular over there

as he is pretty much everywhere in the world. Unlike his predecessor.

5. I wonder do the 58 Trident missiles we lease to UK have anything to do with it?

Scotland doesn't want to host them anymore. Kind of upsets the apple cart.

11. Oh, we lease them, do we?

I did not know that. </johnny-carson> I thought Britain, as an original member of the nuclear club, had its own.

6. What the hell do the British want from Scotland anyway?

They took all the trees, used the men for cannon fodder throughout the world, burned the villages and cleared the people off to Australia.

What is left? The distilleries? Nooooooooop!

8. North Sea oil n/t

9. Maybe the Scots will give them a discount.

12. Obama's Fault Scotland will not be Independent
