Thank you. I really appreciate the chance to watch your mind at work, here, using stuff from our real world.

Ack, that doesn't begin to touch what I'm trying to say. But you're very clear, and, well, clearly showing you don't suffer fools gladly. Especially fools who align themselves with bullies. As well, it's good to watch how you take apart your own attitude; a communications and expressions standard to aspire to.

huh? I plead "timestamp" and LJ makes a liar of me by saying I've posted at 3:00 or so in the afternoon. Urgh. It's really 7:40.

Check out the code blue blog's coverage of Yushchenko (meta-article here), or this article at antiwar.com. Let's

The Boyle article is well-argued, but antiwar.com writes such lies about the Balkans that I have to take anything they publish with a pinch of salt. (The Vienna clinic cannot be considered reliable witnesses either, having changed their line so radically.) Of course, whatever the true nature of Yushchenko's illness in September, it would not be at all surprising if he has an alcohol problem.

Re Yeltsin, I don't know if you saw David Owen's article which was being blogged a few months back?
