must have visited a spa in sochi

I broke into Putin's house again this morning! What is up with my nonconsensual entry into men's homes? Isn't that sort of stalkerish? Sort of? I mean, it helps that they like me, but still!

This time I found his non-work briefcase, which contained a black girdle among photographs, miscellaneous items of clothing and ephemera. I put on the girdle and sashayed off in it with his briefcase. As I was just down the road from his driveway, he was driving in. I pulled myself into a breezy attitude of both unconcern and welcome and kept walking. I turned his head.

I took myself and the briefcase to a city apartment and carefully and respectfully went through each item, putting everything back just as it was, lovingly, knowing that he'd be after me to get it back, and wanting to give it back. Sure enough, soon I saw Medvedev, grinning and bounding up the steps to the apartment, Putin trailing some ten feet behind him. They burst in and Medvedev was full of good humor and saying he would leave Putin alone with me to sort this out.

We talked and stroked each other like longtime lovers. He wasn't formal and dismissive this time. He was tender and unoffended and sweet and firm, and told me he didn't know if they, the authorities, would be gentle with me next time, but he hoped they wouldn't be harsh.

The character of my Putin dreams is happiness and complete respect, even as I am being so abjectly disrespectful as to invade his privacy. It occurs to me at this moment that where I was in a state of barely governable lust for the man with the very old wife yesterday, I was in a completely mild and happy and connected and peaceful state with Putin, here, and that's about right. I prefer the perfection of intimacy, completely apart from sexual excitement, to sexual excitement... by a margin too wide to express in earthly terms.

But I have to think about this break-in thing. It might not be trying to teach me about something bad, or it may be an admonishment for liberties wrongly taken....

Women really are the other half of the sky.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
—Martin Luther King

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.
—Old Uncle Dave

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.
—Frank Drake

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.
—Howard Zinn

...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable.

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
