you know things are bad...

...when Vladamir Putin, the man who wants to do away with term limits in Russia, the man who has his people whispering the idea of neo-tsarism among the masses, the man whose enemies have a slight tendency of "disappearing" (if only for awhile) says your country seems to be seeking a "dictatorship of international affairs."

I haven't had a lot of time lately to goof around the internet and read the news, and of course the major media outlets would ignore pesky international affairs, but from what I have been hearing about Putin and Russia scares the living crap out of me. This man is scary and getting scarier...and yet not so scary that even he thinks Bush is scary. Scary.
