You can always count on me to *go there* for you. I know some Russians who think it's time to go back to the future. Or the past, as the present is confusing.

Quit fooling around Putin! As we say at the DU, 'I, for one, welcome our new ______ overlords.' Fill in the blank.

Some want Putin as a hero, others don't. I'm neutral on Vladimir, full steam ahead on Barack, totally repelled by Rand.

Michael Praed is someone's hero. He even kept his shirt on, see?
