In October, Vladimir Putin posthumously awarded the Hero of the Russian Federation to George Koval, who, using the code name Delmar, successfully penetrated the Manhattan Project as an agent for the Soviet Union. But, he wasn't the only one. Some think the award is just a disinformation campaign orchestrated by the Russians.

That link needs more scare quotes. "William Parcher" told me so.

I "love" quotation "marks." They're so "helpful."

I don't "understand", miss "lynnster" (if "that" is "indeed" your "name"). What do you "love" about "them?"

Putin scares me. I'd hate to be alone in a room negotiating climate change or something with him, I'm sure he'd show me photos of my kids tied to a chair with some uber cruel looking dude in a vinyl jacket standing over them with a chainsaw. He's a judo master, too. True story: there's a contemporary Russian novel in which the leader of the insurgency in Chechnya challenges Putin to single combat--but he has to find him first. So Putin straps on a bunch of guns, gets in a helicopter, and flies to the mountains to kick the guy's ass. Imagine a book like that about Tony Blair. Pfft.

It baffles me that Putin has not introduced, as some forgotten Tsarist custom, a ritual of bonding with visiting leaders by means of a friendly judo match.

I was just "commenting" because I really "liked" the way this "link" was "written."

Miss Lynnster: If you take the words in quotes, project them against the wall, and then push all the text together, you'll notice that the spaces between the words form a message-- a message none will ever believe.... unless you separate the negative space- formed message back into the originally spaced lines, then re-examine the projected words, then extrapolate the larger context from those words... and then put those words, in quotes, on a blog. Even then, only a small proportion of your readers will become aware of the hidden message, and only the most dedicated will take the extra step of exhuming Prescott Bush's corpse and prying apart the locket in its left vest pocket, the one that holds the map to the location of the key concealed beneath the false floor within that combination safe buried a hundred paces from the old lighthouse, the key that can be used to unlock the tool shed from which you can retrieve the hammer that you can break open a bottle of Tylenol, which may be of help at some point in this process.
