Finally. Something besides lameass stories about Baby Jeebus Christian/Mooslim/Space Christian Electoral SMACKDOWN 2008™ or how things are exploding wherever brown people live.
The Russians decided to liven up a slow news week bombing the shit out of Georgia:
The Russian military advanced into Georgia on two fronts Monday, heading towards cities outside the breakaway provinces that have been the centers of fighting.
From the flashpoint South Ossetia, the Russian military moved south towards the central Georgia city of Gori, Georgia said. Russia said its troops were on the outskirts of the city.
...Russian troops were also in Senaki, in western Georgia, having advanced from Abkhazia, Russian and Georgian officials said.
Russia's Interfax news agency cited an official with the Russian Defense Ministry saying troops were in Senaki to "prevent attacks by Georgian military units against South Ossetia." Senaki is home to a Georgian military base.
Meanwhile, the 2008 candidates had stuff to say.
John McCain released a really long boring geography lesson while gumming apple sauce:
"Georgia is an ancient country, at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and one of the world's first nations to adopt Christianity as an official religion. After a brief period of independence following the Russian revolution, the Red Army forced Georgia to join the Soviet Union in 1922. As the Soviet Union crumbled at the end of the Cold War, Georgia regained its independence in 1991, but its early years were marked by instability, corruption, and economic crises.
Barack said stuff too while on vacation; in between windsurfing and hating America.
