Fascist Thug of the Year

Putin.

Which is the greater lost cause: Russia or Time Magazine?�

Authoritarian-oriented Russia always loves The Man With�The Whip. But why Time?

The text is in Farsi, which I can't decipher, but the photo is one of the more heartbreaking I've seen in a long long time. I'm guessing that it's a public execution event and the woman on the right, who appears to be very young, is living her last minutes on earth, and the woman on the left, the lovely face distorted in utter grief, is her mom.

Cain't say picture is the woman executed.

However, Zahra, the woman was executed for having killed her husband.

But he might have been a bad guy, or not.

thanks--the pic to me said, political or moral "crime"--i should not have assumed so much on so little evidence.

My Farsi is a lot rugged but Farsi ladies are fine.

I like the cuisine, too.

It's a lot like southwestern.

BTW--sorry for o/t comment. The photo is just a gut-kicker, and it seemed to fit in with Russia, Putin, and matters of the Caspian Axis.

What I mean to say is, if Putin wasn't leading Russia to cover and enable A-jad & the Mullah fascisti, this past week would less likely have seen the child in the pic being hung.

The pic is astounding--the blurry unfocused way the soon to be dead human being seems already passing from life, the way mom is desperately touching, holding onto the pale wrist of her living dead child. In emotion it's almost a Christmas Manger scene, only in reverse, in the negative. Not from heaven but from hell.

Time has selected many a fascit thug for news worthiness.

Putin well qualifies.

MorMitt disgusts choice, especially qualified as he desires to be.

Mitt's a good solid fella with a tradition of success in gov't and business behind him--in fact for several generations behind him. Known quantity. Good record, good family, good instincts, good handle on the issues. We could do far worse than elect him. I like Fred, too. Rudy, too. But i post this to defend your bete noir.

I might call you brave for defending such a blaggard, but comes to mind, angels treading.

MorMitt is a marionette whose handler(s) remain unknown to me outside of LDS but there are some big hands yanking a political chamilion.

His record in politics is limited but sufficient to peg his stance on issues before he changed them to run for presidency.

Who is the real MorMitt?

His daddy raised him to befuddle his peers.

Maybe, daddy is still the puppetmaster.

The LDS doesn't bother me a whit. He's GOP, and got elected in Massachusetts for cryin' out loud. What, does nobody in Massachusetts know about the LDS? What bothers you about it--the 1850s?

#4.1.1.1 buddy larsen on 2007-12-20 23:32 (Reply)

That nation was built by �Great� and �Terrible� megalomaniacs. How can you change that kind of culture?

Thery've been paranoid since the Mongol Invasions, one could truthfully say.

Then of course Napoleon & Hitler justified the paranoia.

But then again, maybe those two invasions wouldn't have happened had Rus people been less backward & seemingly vulnerable & ripe for conquest--which reasoning circles back to having been paranoid & xenophobic in the first place.

"Self-fulfilling prophecy", that xenophobia thing often is.

I recently had some carpet laying work done by some former Ukrainians. They said they left that place because it�s almost impossible to run a business there without having to pay some thug protection money � but that it�s even worse in Russia. I mentioned that in some relatively backwards places like Columbia vigilante groups like Los Pepes often formed to keep their powerful thugs in check � why didn�t they? But I couldn�t get a clear answer. Russian culture seems to speak pusillanimity to power.

1. Buddy - that is a painful link, whatever the facts.
2. Russia - Crazy country. Always will be. Not our problem anymore, tho.

#6 BD on 2007-12-20 17:42 (Reply)

isn't it tho. that woman's face has been in my mind all day.

#6.1 buddy larsen on 2007-12-20 20:59 (Reply)

Everything is our problem, whether we like it or not. There is no one else to turn too. Isolation is not an option.

?1. Don't rightly know what nobody knew in Massachusetts.

But that electorate elected an anti-gun, pro-abortion RINO committed to socialized medical services, and global warming remediation even if there is no global warming.

?2. How about one gripe on LDS family values; MorMitt married in Temple but his bride's family couldn't attend the Temple rite because they weren't converted.

Hope they stayed smart.

What is it that you like about LDS, buddy?

#7 Leag on 2007-12-21 09:45 (Reply)

I'd never vote for anybody on LDS.

Until Russians quit numbing themselves with vodka they�ll always get used and abused by some nutjob. Putin�s just par for the course.

Personally, I would�ve nominated �The Blogger� but I guess Time don�t wanna help any competition.
