It was a lovely Spring day today and all of my classes went as well as can be expected. That is, with my 7th graders I have lowered my expectations down to a point where as long as nobody gets hurt I am satisfied.
Tomorrow I’ve got a 7 a.m. class so I am anxious to get to bed, and there is not too much in the news that I really have any tremendous insight into, so this is just going to be one of those blogs.
In Ukraine, I have no idea what the hell is going on, but the weird rumor is that U.S. mercenaries, like Blackwater types, were involved in the demonstrations that overthrew the government ( which overthrow I think was justified just by the opulence of Yanukovich’s mansion – instead of bitching about a coup d’etat, they ought to be glad nobody uses the guillotine any more). Which may lead us back to that phone call a few weeks ago, where some lady in the U.S. State Department said “Fuck the E.U., we can do this on our own” and we all laughed it off because tee hee, she said fuck, but totally ignored the underlying threat – what, exactly, where they planning on doing on their own? Did the CIA precipitate the revolution and, by extension, everything that followed? It would be in keeping with the CIA’s record of fucking up everything they touch.
Of course, Putin taking over Crimea is still a major dick move and way more than a little reminiscent of Hitler’s invasion of the Sudetenland in 1939 (or 38?). Plenty of blame to go around.
I’ll leave you with this, because I thought it was mildly funny. Hopefully, it won’t have as much popularity as that stupid Fox song because, like that, it’s only likely to be funny once or twice and not 500 times.
