The Stuff I Didn't Get To -- 12/19/07

Vladimir Putin
Just a regular fella


-Vlad, up close and personal-
TIME magazine has chosen it's Person of the Year -- noted Russian journalist-murderer Vladimir Putin. Vlad beat out much better choice Al Gore and much worse choice J.K. Rowling for the honor.

I thought I'd take this opportunity to revisit a blog post at Who Sucks titled, "Getting To Know Russian President Vladimir Putin (Through Pictures)." In this post, we're shown several news photos accompanied by little known facts about Putin.

Take these, for instance:

Putin seeming to get headbutted in the chest
He doesn't like being head-butted

Looking nervous as little girl in head scarf looks at him
Just like you and I, he feels uncomfortable around girls who wear weird headscarfs


He may be Person of the Year, but he still has a lot in common with most people. (TIME, Who Sucks)

-I've got ebola... or something...-
I didn't post a roundup yesterday and there was no post at my other blog today because I'm sick. Flu, maybe. Or the plague.

Either way, I've got about zero energy and even less ambition, so if you're a daily reader, I apologize. I think I'm on the road to recovery, though. So we should be back on our regular posting schedule soon. Luckily, before I was struck down with affliction, I made a bunch of burger pasties, so I'm dosing myself with beefy goodness. Seems to be working. I thank my mother's Welsh forebears. (Wisco's Health Today)

-Headline of the day-
"Steel chair attacks help unordained priest teach Catholicism." As you might have guessed, "free-lance Catholic priest" Justin Fatica seems more than a little insane... (Raw Story)
