Trading Poland and the Czech Republic for an undisclosed amount of respect and two promises to be named later - brilliant! Can you say, "Sudetenland"? I knew that you could . . . Dissing the British PM of his corresponding party? Brilliant! To hell with their history of doing as we ask, they once oppressed some African savages! Bad Brits, bad, bad! Giving Russia a "button" with the wrong inscription? Ha! Brilliant! Keep 'em guessing after the "Peace in our time' concessions . . . * * * * * "I swear it’s like our President never held an executive position before in his life. Oh, wait…" Come on, now! He was the Editor of Harvard's Law Review and a "community organizer." What more qualification do you need to run the largest operation in the world? If you consider him anything less than BRILLIANT!, you must be a racist. Obama gots mad nuance.

That's funny. I didn't even think about the red button and Red Dawn - which I've seen several times. I think I've been brainwashed by the Staples ad, which of course is the inspiration for this gift, and which I _do_ find really funny - how many times I've wished for an "Easy Button"!! As far as I know though, Staples doesn't advertise in Russia. Just goes to show the danger in using local "idioms" in an international setting. Heh. That's funny.
