Some people might be following this conflict, and others might not, but the nation of Georgia (not the state, for those geographically-challenged, paranoid hillbillies who still swear "the Reds" will invade the U.S.) has been coming under fire by Russian military because of internal conflicts within the nation. According to reports, two separatist factions are trying to break away from Georgia... and for some reason, Russia doesn't like this idea, so they're strafing bombers across Georgian airspace.
World War Three... here we come, full-tilt. I'm just waiting for some trumped-up report that one side or the other is "sympathizing with Middle Eastern terror cells" and results in both of the world's futile, ignorant skirmishes being fused into one enormous clusterfuck of a war.
On an unrelated note, I'm under the distinct impression that Barack Obama's speech gained him a number of supporters, even if he doesn't deliver on all of his promises (and he promised quite a lot!). His speech seemed to be patterned loosely after the temple monologue in The Matrix Reloaded, in my opinion- but that's not a bad thing. He's got the energy and the willpower to make something happen in this nation, and to be honest- anything's better than where we're headed, the way we're going now.
That's two cents from a groggy BrainBox.
