I consider this mean. Your mother, sisters, aunts, wife etc will all get old and gray. Show them your work when you get a chance.

I believe it was a joke and has “0” validity.

You could hear the shouts of "Вот дерьмо!" all the way from Moscow, when Reagan did that.

Call of the Wild is one of my favorite books about the Alaskan Gold Rush.

Who wants to guess whom Putin respects more—Obama or Palin?

Putin is a reminder that our elections have consequences.

But will the masses get the message?

(I almost typed “massage”, how Freudian)

The sobering truth is that he could probably do it, and Obama would merely try to find a way to make sure that it doesn’t affect his legacy interfere with tee time.

Just one slight change in your sentence... :0)

“Putin” and “Palin” differ only by two letters.

Is this significant? I don’t know....

This is getting ignorant, Caribou are migrating back across the Yukon from Canada last few days, snow still everywhere, trails still hard packed, I'm firing up skandic, hanging the 308 Scar around my neck, and heading out looking for something to kill.

You all can worry about the Russkies. I'm here in the interior and ain't worried about anything except when ice out will happen and when the Kings will arrive.

The democrat party is loving the Russian distraction from their idiocy. Meanwhile, the big zero in our White House continues to chip away at our Constitution while folks are suckered into the big red herring folly.

I have likewise thought of that, a number of times.

Actually.

It is just a coincidence, but will become an issue of some sort for stand-up comics if Palin is elected in 2016, and Putin is still in power.

(see no sign, that won’t happen)

In fact, I consider it likely.

And put those four letters together and it spells “Tula”, the name of a famous Russian arms factory. Coincidence? I think not.

I have a greater regard for every existing life form on the planet than I do for the loathsome, septic, sewage resembling POS Obamadork.

The man is slime.

Pure slime.

Flush him (it) now...but beware, flush twice, it floats.

He was sending a clear message that he is not interested in a fight with the US.

The discussion of cold is a counterpoint. He is only interested in expanding south. Since that is toward Islam, I say let them focus on one another.

Of course, that says nothing about west, but I’ve stopped caring what happens to Europeans, whatever it is, it’s their problem and they asked for it.

It’s time to return to the Monroe Doctrine.

Alaska is cold:

” There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.”

How many taxpaying Alaskans would welcome Russia’s tax laws?

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I like Putin’s routine. He’s a funny guy. I like it deadpan and ethnic. He’s sort of a younger Jackie Mason.
