more reagan/putin/obama drama

so yeah, i posted this back when obama’s (and reagan’s former) photographer was interviewed on NPR.  now, it seems, since more people are expressing interest (it’s still my most viewed page daily),  the kremlin is totally all verklempt over it.  maybe it’s  not him.  sure looks like him though.  but, here’s the deal.  i know a guy that served in the army back when east germany belonged to russia and their soldiers got bonuses for shooting deserters.  he told me about a time he watched a u.s. chopper matched in flight by a russian chopper.  except the russian pilot wasn’t as good as the american pilot and the bird went down.  he also said that he and his buddies watched the russians come in and remove the charred chopper remains and REPLANT the grass to ‘erase’ the event altogether.  so, yeah, i’m not sure how much weight i put in the most recent russian denial of what is pretty gosh darned obvious.

also, no part of any ’story’ mentioned above is true. see, i can be russian too.
