Hopefully When the Dust Settles, Georgia Will Have a New Name

“George Bush's Administration is promoting interests of candidate John McCain,” said Dr Markov [political scientist advisor to Putin]. “Defeated by Barak Obama on all fronts, McCain has one last card to play yet - the creation of a virtual Cold War with Russia . . . Bush himself did not want a war in South Ossetia but his Republican Party did not leave him any choice.” The Americans were now engineering an armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia, Dr Markov added.

Georgia (the European one, of course) needs a new name. Cause it's way to confusing, especially with this CNN headline: Georgians: We have Bigfoot carcass in freezer

I hate pilfering stuff from other blogs, but that seemed like a fairly important news article.

Bush is Getting Ideas

Someone should tell the journalists in Georgia (Europe, not US) that there's a cease-fire because the journalists are still finding ways to get themselves shot. Seriously, how can you have a cease-fire if people insist on getting shot? (By the way, there's blood in this video. Not a lot, but just a heads up.)

*** UPDATE: Here's another video of journalists getting shot at in Georgia. Different incident. Note at the end, the camera man is trying to get a shot of a soldier's face. Instead he gets the butt of his gun.
