Sure, He's The Master of Time....But Can Putin Keep Those Trains on Track?
Regurge for a question. Do you think these assholes blew up the subway station under Putin's old office just by chance or is that building still what it was when Vlad worked there?

Bad news. Doesn't matter if you play nicey to Ahmadinejad and the Palis, you still get the bomb up your tunnel.
Let this be a lesson to Tecs de Voorhees while he frumly flips off the un-nuanced...
The Lubyanka. Gorky Park. Shades of the Cold War. But now it's a different war. Yes, the Rooskies are playing footsie with the mad bombers (well, more than that, they're selling them whatever they want), but still it doesn't help them.
Looks like Putin is trying to unclench his fist, but getting smacked too.
Shame for the innocents is all I can say, and I doubt that Putin gives a shit. He'll use this as an excuse to add a wing to the Lubyanka and double his emergency powers. Never let a crisis go to waste.
Putin'll probably kill more Russians than the Chechnyans will in "combatting terror".
Horrible: "We are sure that that bomber was found because only her head and legs are left, and the middle part of her body is completely destroyed. This is a definite sign that she had a belt on. She was a very young woman with beautiful brown hair, long and thick plait." The depraved mind of the terrorist -- it's what makes Pepe ululate.
Not by chance. Actually, I read somewhere that the second bomber meant to detonate her TNT belt at the Oktyabr subway station, under the Ministry of Interior building, but got confused, and exploded herself at Gorky Park.
So, a little message from Binnie to Putin. Is Putin gonna go the ACLU/Hölder way, or is he gonna go Cheneyesque?
Putin's going to make Cheney look like an elected official that has to respond to the people and obey the law.
Oh, wait. It's only Obama that would compare the two (after equating Pennsylvanians with the Taliban or whatever).
But anyhow, I don't know the significance of Gorki park. To me it was just a very good movie with William Hurt and Lee Marvin, two really good actors in unusual parts for them.
What I meant by regurging this is to ask whether the fireworks show might be intended to remind Russians of their shitty dictatorship and turn sympathies toward the regime's new victims. If so, it would be an idiotic way of doing it.
I guess by hitting the Interior Ministry, the answer is no, anyway. In fact they probably just wanted to show how close they could come to the guys in charge of eradicating them.
Yes, Gorky Park was a good movie. But the book was even better. Have you read any of Martin Cruz Smith's books? They were some of the best Cold War novels that I ever read, on a par (and at times even better) with Le Carré's novels.
I never read that kind of thing, for some reason. I think the idea of hot actresses like Joanna Pacula (pardon my French!) gets in the way.
Aahh, Joanna Pakula! Forgot about her. Yes, she was beautiful, perfect for those slavic-looking roles.
Yeah, goddam William Hurt got to make out with her.
