You know younger generation might not actually understand the phone is being held upside down, they probably never even seen a rotary. Kids these days with their cell phones...

Pretty funny though.

The following article says that the prime minister of Crimea REQUESTED support from Russia in the form of military troops.

http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2014/3/1/in-crimea-citizensstandforselfdefenseandmotherrussia.html

That small but significant fact appears to be missing from the at-best simplistic news reporting in the US.

Now, you may question whether the Crimean PM has the authority for this action. That depends on whether Crimea is indeed autonomous, which they claim to be. Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Crimean autonomy:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On 26 February 1992, the Verkhovniy Sovet (the Crimean parliament) renamed the ASSR the Republic of Crimea and proclaimed self-government on 5 May 1992[25][26] (which was yet to be approved by a referendum to be held 2 August 1992[27]) and passed the first Crimean constitution the same day.[27] On 6 May 1992 the same parliament inserted a new sentence into this constitution that declared that Crimea was part of Ukraine.[27]

On 19 May, Crimea agreed to remain part of Ukraine and annulled its proclamation of self-government but Crimean Communists forced the Ukrainian government to expand on the already extensive autonomous status of Crimea.[15]:587

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In summary, the right-wing dunderheads are spouting propaganda when they claim that Russia has simply invaded Crimea.

But it is something most natural that compels us Germans to take an interest in this problem. Among the majority of nationalities that are being suppressed in this State there are 3,500,000 Germans. These Germans, too, are creatures of God. The Almighty did not create them that they should be surrendered by a State construction made at Versailles to a foreign power that is hateful to them, and He has not created 7,000,000 Czechs in order that they should supervise 3,500,000 Germans or act as guardians for them and still less to do them violence and torture.

These truths cannot be abolished by phrases. They are testified to by deeds. The misery of the Sudeten Germans is without end. They want to annihilate them. They are being oppressed in an inhuman and intolerable manner and treated in an undignified way. When 3,500,000 who belong to a people of almost 80,000,000 are not allowed to sing any song that the Czechs do not like because it does not please the Czechs or are brutally struck for wearing white stockings because the Czechs do not like it, and do not want to see them, and are terrorized or maltreated because they greet with a form of salutation that is not agreeable to them, although they are greeting not Czechs but one another, and when they are pursued like wild beasts for every expression of their national life. This may be a matter of indifference to several representatives of our democracies or they may possibly even be sympathetic because it concerns only 3,500,000 Germans. I can only say to representatives of the democracies that this is not a matter of indifference to us.

You have a point, sort of. This was the justification for Germany invading Czechoslovakia in 1938, to "protect" ethnic Germans in the Böhmen region.

But Böhmen (Bohemia) was a part of Czechoslovakia per WW1 peace treaty, and was not autonomous. So there is also a difference. Russia is not doing the same as what Nazi Germany did in 1938. At least not yet.

I doubt this is a similar situation, but one parallel is entertaining: Hitler arranged to be formally asked to invade, both the Sudetenland and Austria, by puppet figures. I would not put the same thing past Putin.

There are few politicians in this situation who I would want behind me in a dark alley.

Perhaps they should meet and have a bowl of Borsch and some sushi and discuss the situation...........Comrade Obamarad

The more alarming truth is that those were not puppets, but easily the overwhelming majority among Sudetenland Germans and Austrians at the time, albeit a very unwise majority. In any case, Chamberlain's concession to sacrifice Czechslovakia was strategically correct. If WWII had broken out a year earlier in 1938, the Western allies would have been defeated as they were not yet ready for war, and there would not have been the chain radar defense system in place around Britain that proved so crucial in stopping Luftwaffe, nor the massive increase in British fighter production . . . in other words, Britain would have been invaded after France fell. The result would have been a catastrophe for liberty. Although Stalin might be tempted to invade Germany if the best Panzer divisions were fighting in East Anglia. But that would still have been a catastrophe regardless which of the two dictators conquered Europe.

FOX & Hannity. HA,HA,HA.

Of course, two dimensions is far too small to be accurate. There are dozens of linearly independent axises along which one can move.

A consequence of this is that I'm not a libertarian as shown above because libertarians don't believe in the concept of public property and I do.

HEY YOU says

FOX & Hannity. HA,HA,HA.

Hmmm I sense sarcasm. Is Hannity/Larry the cable more entertaining or less entertaining than Dennis Miller, Jon Steward, Bill Maher, Lewis Black?

Or does the whole "im gonna be funny by making fun of politics" schtick only go one way?

I don't think this quiz asks enough questions. Does this mean I have to start liking Obama now?

Does the 1994 'Budapest Memorandum' obligate the US to intervene in Ukraine?

Does US care about Ukraine? They are as important as Zimbabwe, so this is more of a cold war trying to screw each other over in a bigger way again.

That's pretty good.

Obama looks like he's groveling for something to someone...

I am a liberal who supports gun rights because of the Sandy Hook Hoax and because of the behavior of Hitler towards the Jews in disarming them. Sandy Hook was bankster/Zionist plan to disarm Americans.

This relates to health care how?

Apart from that, the graphic is indeed pretty funny.

While I agree, I think the bigger issue with renting is the ability of rents to swing wildly when Wall Street maximizes its speculative ability in rental housing.

Of course they can I see houses sit empty for months on in, with a for rent sign out side. They know someone will come along eventually. But make no mistake, they will control the market, they'll get just get the government to socialize their loses, of not renting them out. You wouldn't expect Kellen to suggest that they try lowering the rent, would you?

Are you saying Facebook always was just a menu?
