It helps that that sort of thing is legal in Massachusetts. They didn't go to City Hall together, did they? :)

Jack! Oh, I *so* need a Jack icon for this! Oh well, I'll just have to make do with Chiana, instead. *g*

And yes, it *would* have helped, if they had been in Massachusetts. As far as I know, that sort of thing is not legal in Russia yet...

Hey, maybe Putin can immigrate to Boston. I'm sure a lot of people in Russia will be glad to be rid of him. ;)

Huh. I hadn't even thought of that. I was just gobsmacked (appaled, pissed off) that Putin, in front of international press cameras, pocketed Kraft's ring. That "gave it to him" line is totally the result of the White House saying, "Don't make a fuss."

Huh. While I, on the other hand, hadn't thought of the implications of Putin pocketing the ring like that. Maybe it's the fact that all I saw of that article were those huge headlines, and I didn't even find out who Kraft *was* until I tracked the article down at work. *g*

Hmmm... I wish I could say something to defend Putin, but I can't think of anything. Honestly, he's been acting more and more like a typical Soviet Russian dictator, lately. (Not that he wasn't acting like one before, but at least before, he was a little bit more circumspect about it...) He probably did think that Kraft was giving him the ring, because he's so used to people trying to give him bribes like that kiss up to him.

No matter how full of himself he's become, I don't think he'd actually consciously steal something, while in front of international cameras...

Which is not to say that this excuses what he did. I'm just trying to figure out *why* he might have done something so stupid...

Oh, Katya, only you would have to look up Kraft to find out he owns the Patriots. *hugs you*

I stared that headline down all day today, and didn't find anything slashy about it, and now I can't stop snickering...

Kerlin! *hugs you* I hope you are getting some rest!

Not true! Kernezelda didn't know who Kraft was, either! *feels vindicated*

Of course, Kerne doesn't live in Boston... Or in New England, for that matter... Hmmm... Oh, well. I guess I just have to accept the fact that I am painfully ignorant about such things. (When I first saw the headline, I thought he had something to do with cookies, or something. ;))

*hugs you back* It's good to have friends who accept me, even when I'm being ignorant.

I stared that headline down all day today, and didn't find anything slashy about it, and now I can't stop snickering...Heh. So it *is* me and my dirty mind! I wondered about that. *g ( ... )
