I figure I can get away with being OT, given this 
nicely gets us away from the whole nationalist 
frenzy.... and as much as Mr. Atkinson amuses

proportions (except for the bit about being a 
lawyer...)  ;-)

Some interesting articles about Russia. What 
(oddly) caught my eye was the military picture 
showing a tank crossing some water with a

foreground. Also, take a quick look at the poll 
on the bottom left. Interesting who isn't on the 
list..... (or would be covered by "don't know")....
