Well, there's conversion.

Pope Francis just got the Charlemagne Prize from the EU, but Putin seems --- "Seems," I say --- to be the one who deserves it: defender of Christians.

His shirt? What?

I think Putin takes his shirt off for wrestling. But he was going to to engage with a patriarch, not a polar bear.

THanks. I knew you'd know!

I'd been wondering whether this was a "Leo crowns Charlemagne" moment.

“I’d been wondering whether this was a “Leo crowns Charlemagne” moment. “

No; some might say sadly no. Personally, I think a God Ordained emperor would be a good thing for the world, but in my opinion, Putin isn’t the guy any more than that old heretic Charlemagne was.

Putin will behave as long as the price of oil is low.

“Putin wants to be the defender of the (Christian) faith. Okay, we could do worse.”

Pootie Poot is a dangerous KGB thug. Just because Obama is a weak President; doesn’t mean we should admire Pootie in any way.
