What does this mean for the US and the rest of the world? This has the ring of the beginning of a dictatorship to me! Putin has authority to basically put who he wants in power. Definitely something to keep an eye on.

This is like deja vu all over again...
...reminds me of the late 1920's/early 30's in Germany.

Exactly. Rest assured all is okay though. Bush looked in his eyes and saw his soul and determined that he was indeed a good man.

I'm just glad the US Constitution doesn't have a clause like this because I fear Bush would not hesitate to envoke it.

On a more hilarious note, Drudge must laugh evertime he updates his site. Look at this picture they used. He's pure evil!

Russia tests the world's largest ever non-nuclear bomb

09.12.07

Russia has exploded the world's biggest non-nuclear bomb in a dramatic escalation of the new Cold War.

Nicknamed 'the father of all bombs', it was filmed being dropped from a strategic bomber and exploding in a massive fireball.

The film then showed the debris of apartment buildings and armoured vehicles at a testing range, as well as ground burned by a massive explosion.

On the day this news comes out what is the best way to distract the public.....SEX DAY!

ULYANOVSK, Russia (Reuters) - The governor of a central Russian province urged couples to skip work on Wednesday and make love instead to help boost Russia's low birth-rate.

And if a woman gives birth in exactly nine months time -- on Russia's national day on June 12 -- she will qualify for a prize, perhaps even winning a new home.

"It's normally something for the home -- a fridge or a television set," Yelena Yakovleva at the Ulyanovsk regional administration press office, said.

"It doesn't matter if it's a girl or a boy."

It makes sense. Nothing gets things going in the bedroom like the idea of an enormous explodey thingy.

Putin is all kinds of scary. The guy's KGB. I know people like to say ex-KGB, but didn't those guys have to swear allegiance to the Soviet Union? Does that oath expire just because the Soviet Union collapses?

Ya know, with just him needing to be "removed" from office now, my plan to take over Russia has just gotten much simpler.
