‘Big bad mom jeans’: Obama issues stunningly pathetic warning to Ukraine

Politics & Government

http://twitter.com/#!/redsteeze/status/436220214452441088 Now that he’s finished watching “The Monuments Men,” President Obama finally has time to address the situation in Ukraine. Today at a summit in Toluca, Mexico, he issued what he probably figured was a pretty stern warning to the Ukrainian government: http://twitter.com/#!/MajorCBS/status/436222526927024128 http://twitter.com/#!/NewsBreaker/status/436218398884626432 The strongest possible terms? Hardly. http://twitter.com/#!/josephkoss/status/436221157893623809 What an absolute joke.

Editor who dismissed Sarah Palin’s Russia/Ukraine prediction whines

Arts & Entertainment

http://twitter.com/#!/jrsalzman/status/439541557629169664 In 2008, Sarah Palin was mocked for suggesting that the election of Barack Obama could result in Russia invading Ukraine. It now seems Palin’s prediction is coming to fruition, in an “uncontested arrival” kind of way. Blake Hounshell, a former editor of Foreign Policy who is now an editor with Politico, called Palin’s prediction an “extremely far-fetched scenario” at the time. Now that it’s not so far-fetched, Hounshell nevertheless is playing it snide: http://twitter.com/#!/blakehounshell/status/439540945626095616 Probably best just to say nothing at this point: http://twitter.com/#!/joseph_highley/status/439542853576830976 http://twitter.com/#!/eli_mari78/status/439539849885134849 Hounshell […]
