Things are pretty bad when you’re asking the Russians to invade you, right? Well, it seems that things are pretty bad in y-happy Kyrgyzstan right now, with the ethnic riots, and the death, and the flows of refugees to the Uzbek border! And so they’re asking the Russians to, uh, send troops to restore order (i.e., invade). This is a plan where literally nothing could possibly go wrong! And when things don’t go wrong, they surely won’t have uncomfortable-making consequences for the U.S. and the Kyrgyz military base it has come to rely on rather heavily.

- Closing arguments are starting in the California trial on whether gay marriage is a constitutional right! Hopefully by the time it gets to the Supreme Court, Obama will have replaced everyone with more “softball-playing types,” if you know what we mean, and we think you do. [WaPo]
- Greta Van Susteren has signed a new contract with Fox News and will be around for years and years, hooray! [NYT]

I’d like to buy a vowel?
Boris and Natasha’s evil plans have won? What will happen to Moose und Sqvirrel?
The Russians will triple the rent on our base. Your tax dollars at work!
And why wasn’t Al having sexytime with this Natasha chick instead? If you’re gonna get busted (and you almost always will), it may as well be worth it…
After suffering more than a year of abuse over its role in the financial crisis…
Poor Fed, a victim of domestic abuse.
[re=599598]plowman[/re]: Cuz she was dancing on the ol’ Wamsuttas with Bullwinkle.
[re=599596]memzilla[/re]: Well, Moose has been shot by Palin. Probably Squirrel, too.
Damn! Hot AND Cold
I wonder if the Russians could have saved Lynyrd Skynyrd, too? Water under the bridge now, I know, but it’ll be a counterfactual question that hystyryns will be wrestling with for generations to come.
If you want to be safe, never stick your troops in any place until you’re sure that it’s a safe, comfortable fit. If the base is unstable, you’re not going to have a happy, long term relationship, and your ultimate goal, of coming to a place of true conquest, will be frustrated. This is why you need to check out your potential mate carefully, and not stick your troops in any old isthmus or port, like a coked up frat boy with a C- average after a bender of skipping out on “drilling a dry hole” in Texas and playing with a baseball team.
A healthy general is a wise general, and a wise general is a healthy general.

[re=599607]Larry McAwful[/re]: Could the Russians have saved Lynyrd Skynyrd? No.
However, the Soviets have saved triple guitar southern boogie bands five times with nuclear weapons. We need to use nuclear weapons to save light aircraft in mechanical failures carrying beloved rock bands.
If only some of those people were more brown over there talk radio slobs could definitively tell us who to shoot and who to save if we have to do something with our bombs and stuff.
One would think the Russians would have learned from both our example and their own, not too distant history that sending in troops to take sides in another country’s civil war is not exactly a great idea.
Hey, don’t pick on the Fed; it’s really kept us safe from the currently non-existent threat of inflation, and all it’s cost is keeping the unemployment rate up. But investors are safe, that’s the important thing.

So Patreus the Fainter is not a wise general?
Josh, the intertubes are not working anymore, call 1-800-TUBE-FIX.
Kyrgyz Ethnyk Unryst Out Of Contryl
Why,Josh? Why?
What, no coverage of the Perez Hilton/Miley Cyrus up-skirt incident, a scandal that is tearing our nation apart and challenging the very definition of what it means to be an American? That’s just a big pile of fail, Wonkette.

[re=599616]Tim[/re]: She asks the hard questions, donchaknow.
Can we convince Russia to invade South Carolina?
I hear the Russians have some good ideas on plugging oil wells too..
I know I’m behind the times…who’s the pretty lady in the picture?
[re=599616]Tim[/re]: The Republican-Scientology alliance will continue for the foreseeable future.
[re=599649]Dashboard_Buddha[/re]: My Canadian girlfriend.
This “sentence” from the
Fox press releaseNYT about Gertie Van S is a real brain twister: “Fox News dominates the cable news landscape, regularly drawing three times as many total viewers in prime time than MSNBC or CNN.”Three times as many than?
Lesbian? Mormon? History teacher?
I regret I have but one primary vote to give for my country. & alas, it’s not for Utah.
[re=599604]gurukalehuru[/re]: Win
[re=599663]V572625694[/re]: Now with five times less mistakes!
There’s mistakes everywhere.
NYT, as someone here pointed out, has reporters (Carlotta Gall), and then it has… these… creatures. They “write” things. Mainly they do cut and paste, badly, and then they get to climb the ladder.
Let me see your snowpeaked mountains way down south. Cyme and keep your cymrade warm.
Now that Greta is with Fox for the duration, let’s send her to Wasilla again, this time for an in-depth profile of Bristol and Levi’s co-parenting sleepovers. Greta can probably crash on their couch if she buys pizza and six-pack.
The Russian officer lady is my favorite Lady of Wonkette since Tiny Hat Girl.
i’m sure the russians will be happy to leave as soon as their work is done.
McCain would be whistling “bomb bomb bomb Kyrgyzstan” if he could remember for long enough.
[re=599776]artpepper[/re]: His slurred, stuttered pronouncement of “bomb bomb (ishtan)” will ensure that all of central asia is a smoldering wasteland by next year.
That girl is Kyrgyz-slammyn.
[re=599598]plowman[/re]: He learned his moves from Bill Clinton.
They need to ask the UN for some vowels.
If all Russian soldiers look like this, they can invade anytime they want.
