news that's fit to print

there was a great picture of vladamir putin in the times this morning. he looked like an incredulous turtle.




and he says things like I don't want to say that your opinion means absolutely nothing to us and that we want to spit on everything... . it was good reading. and by that I mean entertaining. also I learned about the book that says that women are supposed to be like cats and that men like shiny things and that's how you make one love you. the whole thing was very exasperating. like listening to my mother only it was in the news.

ah well. I'm sure there was actual news too- stuff about indictments and supreme court justices and hurricanes. but somehow I feel a little grateful for the sunday fluff. takes the edge off.
