Language Liberalism Freethought Birds
Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds.
Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.
The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church.
If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.
So, to no one's great surprise, it looks like Putin won in the first round. He got around 60%, according to exit polls. Zyuganov is, as always, second, with his usual 17-18%, and Prokhorov took around 9%, mostly, most likely, from Mironov, who didn't get 5%.

I used to teach Russian and Ukrainian, and some basic English, to civil servants. Now I teach Russian at a local continued-learning institute. I dabble in Gaelic and Welsh. I'm am amateur photographer and I love birding (in a small way). I'm a Progressive, and a Freethinker, and I know Evolution is a fact - that's FCD, Friend of Charles Darwin (look down the sidebar). I read a lot, and follow women's college basketball. Also I love astronomy, though I'm a rank amateur at it. Most of all, I like living in the reality-based community...

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->That's pretty perfect Russian humour, and comes across better in the original Russian doesn't it? "On i tak uzhe Putin."
Who created the poster?
Yes, it does. It's sharp in Russian, punchier.
The creator is someone calling himself ХагХ at Путята.РФ. I found it here:

He's pretty prolific.
