Russia Invades the US!

Yeah, yeah, I know that we are sort of running a bit behind on the reporting of this, but well, apparently the Soviet Union and the United States are at war. Yep, I saw it on TV, apparently all of the networks are reporting it, and we here have just been distracted by the Olympics to have noticed it.

No really, I’m not kidding, Russia has invaded the souther state of Georgia…Oh wait, I’m now getting an update from the newsroom, apparently Georgia has not only seceded from the Union, but is now located in Eastern Europe. No wait, that’s apparently not right either. Now I’m being told that some Eastern European country has violated copyright laws and stolen the name of the great state of Georgia.

Oh Hell, you mean that they were Georgia first? Damn. I’m going to have to go back to drinking heavy.

In the meantime, watch Jon Stewart Dances the Dance on Comedy Central’s fake news program, The Daily Show.

As an unavoidable aside, apparently there were some folk (related to some folk who run Cuppacafe) who were genuinely confused about the whole Russian invasion of Georgia thing, we won’t mention any names (Shelly), and I simply couldn’t resist making this post in regards to that.

(Apparently she kept hearing the reports on the news, and — as she really wasn’t really paying attention — and thought that it was something of a joke. She was never even aware that there was a country named Georgia. As Jon Stewart, put it in the report we posted above, “Oh, War. It’s just God’s way of teaching America geography.”

So, if there are any others out there who are confused. The country of Georgia (a former satellite nation of the USSR), was named after St. George (the dragon slayer), while the US State of Georgia, was named after England’s King George.

Hopefully, I’ve now cleared all of that up, and we can move on to, well sillier stuff.
