Yes, or gently caress offs given to people you need out of your hair. Real diplomacy doesn't need a super trained ambassador, they're just the face. It's the least damming corruption to bring up because their jobs are meaningless as long as we have massive agencies doing this poo poo.

Uh... maybe not for countries which we're generally tight with, but ambassadors to countries we aren't are pretty loving important.

What like Argentina and Norway? I'm sorry but no ambassador appointment will ever be as lovely as John Bolton. Until someone is appointed that's a bigger piece of poo poo than John Bolton, I don't really care. Hell, wasn't Joe Kennedy appointed to Britain solely out of his being rich? It's such a non-thing and it distracts from the real money issues that plague both sides.

I for one hope someday soon there will be equal rights for everyone and no discrimination against gays, not because it's the right thing to do, but because I think I'm going to murder someone if I hear another *Were you born x or did you choose to be x* joke.

I'm honestly at a loss about what can be done in Russia. If we believe in democracy...Then all the gays should get out of that country maybe? I don't even know. Why can't you just be cool, Russians?! Every other cold country west of you can be cool!

I wish Jason had pressed Sergei a little more on his definition of "normal". The lady at the end was very sweet and the reference to Angel out of nowhere was great.

In other news, Bill O'Reilly is starting to look more like a parody of Colbert these days, I swear to god.

And gently caress that awful filmmaker and gently caress everyone in the audience who clapped for a slow fade on a photo of a gorilla. You just had twenty seconds of your life wasted, don't clap. Jesus Christ. The word pretentious gets thrown around a lot, but JESUS CHRIST. I almost wonder if that was an extension of Stephen Colbert's newfound Frenchness.
(That said, Phillip Glass does good music. But you know what, it was better in some schlocky Zac Snyder movie than this guy's poo poo.)

I have to say that those Russian citizens have a shitload of balls. They do not want to be forced to change due to society. Also when are they going to catch Valjean? No bread for your family!

Reggio's films require a certain kind of commitment from the viewer, but they're incredible and unlike anything else (except Ron Fricke's movies, of course).

The Orthodox church is embedded in the state in Russia in a way that has never even come close to existing in America. The citizens are a lot less to blame than the governmental institution being mind-bogglingly corrupt.

Yep. Three counts of attempted murder and one count of firing at an occupied vehicle. The murder charge resulted in a hung jury and will be retried.

I do love how they talk about FREE MARKET SOLUTIONS but they prevent the workers from having any say in said free market. I mean it makes sense from a Randian point of view, were the only people who are of worth are those who actually produce something, but that is the insane belief that CEOs are actually the ones who make the company run.

If i had the choice of any person in history to smother in their crib as a baby, it would be Ayn Rand. Hitler didn't gently caress the world up as much as she did.
