WORLD OF RETARDS

  • EVERYONE STOP BEING MEAN!: Georgia lobbed missiles at Russia, then Russia killed everyone, then the U.S. signed a deal with Poland for that missile defense thing just to piss off Russia, and now Russia is selling missiles to Iran and Venezuela just to piss off the U.S. WTF? Why can’t all of these people act like grown-ups, sheesh. [Times UK]

    well — the russian stock market has crashed so there! phttt!

  3. JadedDIssonance says at 5:35 pm, September 18th, 2008

    Middle School Mock UN all over again.

  4. Reminds me of this funny story I heard once about … o wait, that story wasn’t funny either.

  5. Texan Bulldoggette says at 5:38 pm, September 18th, 2008

    And Hugo freaking hates us. Way to go Walnuts, pissing off Putin was a SMART move! It’s like you’ve already kicked the bucket & put Bible Spice (thanks to a fellow Wonketteer whom I can’t remember for that moniker) in charge….

    Pooty-Poot! Quick! Look behind you! China is rising!

    *runs away*

    World War 3. Stock market crash. When is Skynet going online?

  8. Vanity Smurf says at 5:43 pm, September 18th, 2008

    Texan Bulldoggette: Bible Spice!! Yeehaw!

    McSenile will just sit them all down and tell ‘em to stop the bullshit. Yeah, that’ll fix it.

    My Friends, starting new searches for freedom is all part of the market adjusting.

    cal: We have a good track record of victory in wars with Spain. Last time we got the Philipines as a coal station for the Pacific fleet. Walnutz! remembers well the first time he steamed into Subic Bay.

  11. The war with Spain falls mainly on McCain.

  12. V572625694 says at 5:48 pm, September 18th, 2008

    Raytheon wanted to sell missiles to Iran and Venezuela, and they’re pissed. So they put in the word to Dubya: payback time.

  13. Johnny Zhivago says at 5:48 pm, September 18th, 2008

    If we’re going to war with Spain, Russia, Iran, Pakistan and France we’re going to need strong allies. That’s why John McCain is visting the Grand Sultan Mehmed VI next week in Constantinople to be sure the Ottoman Empire joins the League of Democracy.

  14. Johnny Zhivago says at 5:50 pm, September 18th, 2008

    Vanity Smurf: I don’t think one of her Man o’ Wars could stand up to one of our carrier battle groups.

  15. Mr. Herpes says at 5:50 pm, September 18th, 2008

    If Vlad the Impaler really wanted to fuck with us, he’d invite Moosegirl to a summit meeting in Vladivostok, so she can see what her house looks like from the Dark Empire.

  16. Strictly for the Tardcore says at 5:52 pm, September 18th, 2008

    Ha ha, Russia, those kidders. Pulling crap like this while we’ve got an economic dick up our ass, knowing we can’t do anything about it.

  17. Vanity Smurf says at 5:53 pm, September 18th, 2008

    cal: Finally somebody makes that line work.

  18. Historically, Russian missiles are EPIC FAIL, so go right ahead, Vladi.

  19. nietzscheprojectile says at 6:03 pm, September 18th, 2008

    Look, give the Russkies a break. They haven’t gotten to play with the big toys in a while. Jeez.

  20. missile payloads are empty vodka bottles.

  21. anabellum says at 6:08 pm, September 18th, 2008

    at least Condi finally gets to show off her mediocre russian foreign policy based academic creds..

    lets see…what was it she said today?….oh yeah, Russia is irrelevant…

  22. It is the 50’s all over again.. WE HAVE A MISSILE GAP!!

    Damned that Barak and his hope-powered Delorean time machine… he squashed a butterfly on on one of his trips though time to trip up Palin and now everything is topsy-turvy! If he’d have brought back gas prices from the 1950’s!

  23. lumpenprole says at 6:17 pm, September 18th, 2008

    All this stuff could have a serious impact on Russo-Alaskan relations.

  24. AngryBlakGuy says at 6:41 pm, September 18th, 2008

    …and for John McCain’s next trick, he will talk S.Korea into invading N.Korea! Hooray for the apocalypse :-)

    Son of a bitch. This kind of shit is how World Wars start.

  27. If Russian missiles are in the same sad state as the rest of their military, I wouldn’t be too concerned.

    HomoPolitico:
    It was painful enough the first time, I didn’t need to be reminded.

  28. graceless says at 7:35 pm, September 18th, 2008

    How about a nice game of chess?

  29. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 12:04 am, September 19th, 2008

    Anyone see the Russian paper, Pravda, on Palin? The one where they call her a worthless bag of hair and a hysterical shrieking cow? No shit. Funniest. Column. Ever.

    HomoPolitico: Servo: actually it’s really good to be reminded. i suspect if i weren’t both lazy and drunk i could do a beat for beat essay on the bush years.

    however main point: reader’s digest? no memory here.

  31. HomoPolitico: So you’re for or against reagan? that ketchup part sounds tasty.
