Nice job, Barack Carter.

Next we are boycotting the 2018 World Cup.

Nice job, Barack Carter.

Give Carter some credit, he sent the US military to into Iran to rescue those hostages.  The military fucked it up.

I was always confused by very short beds in historic farmhouses and some castles over here. I later learned that a lot of people slept sitting up, partially to keep their noses uncongested.

i'd never heard of this before. so, i looked it up

Just watched the Obama interview.  He seemed tired and distracted.

You mean emotional?

Well he has been flying all over the world lately.  I imagine that's jet lag.

Dude's been on the bevvy with the Secret Service in Amsterdam. I'd be tired too. The distraction's probably just the 'shrooms.

Well, some of the beds I've seen were basically wardrobes to sleep in, 150 cm or so long.

Just read this in an article about possible economic sanctions against Russia:
The German bluechip company with the highest exposure to Russia is Adidas at 7.5% revenue. Tracksuits FTW.

Is this 'thing' not over yet ?

[Norgy]

Oh, come on, since when does Languish forget a conflict?

Well, the Russians keep stirring the pot every now and then, so it's not quite sure where this one's going.

A few headlines from their official news agency ITAR-TASS from today:

- May 25 election in Ukraine illegitimate, Russian representative at OSCE says
- Russians sceptical of Ukraine's new authorities
- Russian Foreign Ministry issues comment on situation around ethnic minorities in Ukraine: More and more holders of Ukrainian passports are seeking asylum in Russia, the ministry says
- Lukashevich issues official comment on military situation on Russian-Ukrainian border (they say there's no wrongdoing on their side, and that Open Sky surveillance by Western forces will confirm it)
- Western countries 'capable of inadequate steps' - Russian geopolitical analyst: There are about 300 foreign mercenaries in Ukraine, whose aim is to destabilise the situation in the country, believes the president of the Russian Academy of Geopolitical Problems, Konstantin Sivkov.
- Ukrainian Communists leader says country overtly slid into West's outside administration
- Ukraine's Security Service deporting Russian citizen working for Inter TV channel
- Well-known anti-radical activist arrested in Ukraine's northeast city of Kharkov
- Solution of Ukraine's problems to be possible only after stabilization
- FSB: west steps up attempts to destabilize the internal situation in RF

I'm still expecting the Russians to make a grab for Eastern Ukraine if not the whole Black Sea coast.

They're good suits.
