B<\/span>e honest, before the last couple of weeks had you ever heard of Crimea? Makes you feel like those people on the streets caught in a Jay Leno question about common knowledge doesn\u2019t it? You know the ones, where Jay points to an American flag nearby and asks them how many starts are on that flag. They answer with, \u201cI can\u2019t tell, it\u2019s waving in the wind too much.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, I don\u2019t know where this will all end, in fact I barely understand the geography or who\u2019s loyal to who or who wants what to happen. But, when they start talking about how maybe NATO and the U.S. should possibly put \u201cboots on the ground\u201d to settle things, I\u2019m really at a loss.
\nBefore we commit to something like that, shouldn\u2019t we find out first if they have any oil? I mean, that\u2019s what everyone thinks is the only reason we get involved with anything around the globe anyway, right?<\/p>\n

I loved Putin\u2019s recent comment<\/a> about the U.S. being interested in things like we\u2019re watching rats in an experimental maze or something. He said, \u201cOur friends across the pond, \u2026\u201d. Hey look, we\u2019re more than friends across the pond. Please, Putin, update your metaphors a bit. In fact, check your six, cause we\u2019re right behind you next to your back door.<\/p>\n

Or as an Alaskan governor once put it, \u201cI can see Russia from my house.\u201d lol \u00a0Ok, actually she never said that. That was said by Tina Fey doing a Saturday Night Live sketch. What Palin actually said to Charles Gibson on ABC News was, “”They’re our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska”.<\/p>\n

Defending Palin? Yeah I know. What has the world, err I, come to anyway?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
