#1 One almost can hear the echo of the rsing and falling signal of the English language ~~propaganda~~ News broadcats of the old USSR in the telling of these stories.

#2 A couple points to ponder:

* Putin is not perceived of over there as a strong man, but as being weak. I am beginning to think Beslan damaged his political standing.

* Don't laugh at those broadcasts, Sock. They were successful enough that the most leftist lead writers for Pravda now have English names.

* Maybe a better graphic, given all the Subtle Plans and whatnot, would have been Blackadder and Baldric, or maybe Pinky and the Brain.

* When I pass through Austin next I'll try to get better Bat Cave pictures.
