We're lucky we have the right man standing by to answer that 3 am phone call.

I hear that Al Queda has got a necromancer working full time to raise Osama up as a Zombie and that Quadaffi was not actually killed but that they actually killed Khaddaffi. Bad time to find out about that mistake .
Midway is having a special buy one and get one free sale on silver zombie bullets and we better all stock up.

I'd be happy to vote for Hillary, AGAIN!!!!

I hear Newt and Rick the Texas wonderboy Perry didn't make it onto the Virginia primary ballot but Newt's campaign manager said they would wage a write in campaign which is illegal by Virgina law but then ethics violations are nothing new to Newt.

Actually, as far a death and destruction on the international front, 2011 was and is a very strange year. Hard to imagine 2012 being more exciting.

Interesting read.

Hang on to your seats everyone because it sounds like 2012 is going to be a fun ride.

Last few editions of The Economist have provided a pretty decent overview of the multi-crisis events across the globe from the "Supreme Commander" to "Homo sovieticus" As the saying goes "Somethin's gotta give".

My grandfather actually saw Putin practicing Judo as a young kid. He told me that had he known what Putin would become, he would have choked him out right then and there.

Vladimir Putin was the director of the KGB in Dresden for a number of years and throughly hated by the East Germans. Got that sentiment straight from the horses mouth. Never did like what I see in his eyes either.
