You are the best. THE BEST.

Get a room ladies.

You are one of my favorite commenters.

My friend used to tell the following story: "One time I was about to fuck this girl, but she had a bunch of crabs tattooed above her pussy. So I didn't fuck her because how could you fuck a girl with crabs tattooed above her pussy?" Guess which part of that story he later admitted wasn't true? God love him.

That Amber Tamblyn thing...

Also please don't discuss the menu... Thank you.

is CNN covering this story???

I'm Jewish, and I laughed at her use of 'Jappy'. Of course, I'm currently assuming she's also Jewish. If she's not Jewish and using that term, I might need to borrow Jasmine's semi-auto... :-P

Just to note, I 100% agree that the isolationist thing was a matter of perception, not reality. I do think the economic ties issue is significant though. China's financial prosperity is of critical importance internally - famine is not all that far back in memories there. Chinese leaders have a huge incentive not to…

I think China's "isolationism" completely ignores its clear expansionist policies in its Himalayan borders with India, as well as its imperialism in Africa.

You forgot the rest of the quote, though: ""This is without question our No. 1 geopolitical foe. They fight for every cause for the world's worst actors. The idea that [Obama] has more flexibility in mind for Russia is very, very troubling indeed."

Russia has at best 1/5 the military might of the former Soviet Union, and their economy's not in the big leagues at all. As someone else stated, China's a far bigger threat, if one is actively looking for threats.

Russian experts have long seen a resurgent Russian Federation as a threat to their neighbors, but I still think Romney was wrong about Russia being the #1 geopolitical foe. If he had said "one of the most serious threats to Europe and to regional stability," I would have been full-on behind him, but he made a pretty…

I think Romney could have been a good President, and was the best candidate the GoP had offered in a while, but the primaries killed him (and is probably what will happen in the next election to whoever also).

I think so many people focus on "who's got the bomb" and are also used to thinking of Russia as an imperialist power while China has been thought to be more isolationist. But of course that hasn't been true for a long time - with all of its hacking and tech skills it's almost irrelevant what arms China has, and it's…

I thought he wasn't particularly crazy to make the argument, but at the same time I still think he did it in large part to avoid his clearly lax views on Sino-US relations.

I know, people were really Russian to pile on the Romney hate.
