    More like the meeting of the first two horseman of the apocalypse…

    *shudders*

  2. Suit and tie’s not really “formal”….just “business”. It’s not like Putin’s rocking a tux.

  3. Byrd says:

    Yikes! I know I’m scared of two countries’ leaders who when combined spend .0001% on their military compared to what the U.S. does.

    • PortlandMark says:

      Careful, you’re gonna blow some minds there! ;)

    • sisyphusredux says:

      Actually, oddly enough, defense spending is only 4.06 of America’s GDP, which is the only accurate way of assessing military spending…but, of course, you knew that already. The top 10 countries in terms of percentage of GDP are: Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, Yemen, Armenia, Eritrea and Macedonia.

      I’m willing to bet that THAT blows a few minds. Especially those who can’t place the above on a map.

      BTW-AMerica places 27th and Russia comes in 29th. Libya, oddly enough is 28th.

      Look it up on Wikipedia.

      • PortlandMark says:

        The total $$$ amount we spend on the military still exceeds the total $$$ spent by the entire rest of the world, I’m given to understand, and that matters a lot as well.

        • ubr says:

          and yet we still spend more on foreign aid then we do on the military…

          • eddiepscetti says:

            And the foreigners getting the aid will still call us warmongers..

            • Byrd says:

              The U.S. spends less on foreign aid than any country in the world as a percentage of GDP. We’re scrooges when it comes to foreign aid. We are the worst.

              They call us warmongers because we BOMB them and their neighbors who share their religion. It’d piss me off too.

              • eddiepscetti says:

                Then they shouldn’t be taking our money.. You can’t have it both ways.

              • eddiepscetti says:

                Besides, where did I indicate that we were giving foreign aid to countries we bomb? Try reading what I wrote and then reply, ok? For example, when was the last time we bombed, oh, I don’t know, Costa Rica or any country in the general vacinity? If you’re thinking Iraq (which I assume you are), when was the last time we bombed Kuwait, Iran, Jordan, or any other Middle East country aside from Iraq?

              • eddiepscetti says:

                And lastly, what other country spends as much on foreign aid as the U.S.? Why is it up to the U.S. to provide money for other countries? What do we get out of it? When was the last time one of these countries receiving aid showed up in the U.S. to lend a hand with a disaster? I don’t even mean monitarily, but just helping out. When? Name one time.

                • bad fairie says:

                  what we get out of helping other countries is good will, cooperation with our agenda (when we have a sane leader), and above all else, it helps keep their unwashed masses there…

                  as far as other countries helping us, when cali burned last year, there were firefighters from all over: australia, canada, some germans and a few russian/ukrainians (don’t slam me, i know they are different, but i can’t remember exactly who it was ok). there was aid sent via the red cross to new orleans from australia, new zealand, and several countries in western europe. when flights were grounded at the nearest airports on 9/11 americans were welcomed into peoples homes in a small town in canada, and americans world wide were taken care of and commiserated with that day and the days that followed. furthermore, look how many countries followed us into combat in the middle east. isn’t it just possible that was due to feelings of good will for all the assistance the us has given over the decades?

                  are those enough examples for you eddie, or do i have to fry a few more brain cells trying to remember others?

                  • eddiepscetti says:

                    BF, actually my questions to Byrd were rather rhetorical. I am aware that we generate goodwill among the countries we help. On the other hand, the countries you mention that helped during disasters don’t necessarily receive foreign aid from the U.S. I don’t expect countries that are either third world or developing to send help, but it would be nice if they wouldn’t dance in the streets and cheer when something bad happens to the U.S.
                    -
                    Additionally, when something happens in another country (Australia comes to mind since it was very, very close to home), the U.S. was there not just with money, but personnel to help, medical supplies, and donations from the average citizen. So really, my gripe isn’t with the countries that recognize the gesture from the U.S., it’s with those that will gladly take our money and then spit in our eye given the first opportunity. Goodwill cuts both ways, from the giver and the receiver.

                    • viking gal says:

                      I googled “Katrina foreign aid offer” and got a Washington Post article saying that the US rejected 54 of 77 coutries’ offers of help. Wikipedia (linked) has the 77 counties which offered help and what they had offered, plus a list of international organizations which made offers. Uganda, Pakistan, the Dominican Republic, Nepal all offered help, in addition to the usual suspects. OK Haiti didn’t offer anything, but they still have such a mess on their hands…

                      • eddiepscetti says:

                        Oh, and as I mentioned, my issue isn’t with the countries that appreciate the help we give, but those that get the help and then give us the finger.

                    • eddiepscetti says:

                      *quickly tries to close the can of worms he’s opened!* (which reminds me of a joke about a farmer, a pig, and a monkey.. but that’s for another time.)
                      -
                      Thanks, VG.. you certainly provided a response. Is it ok if I still have the whole foreign aid thing stuck in my craw? I have had issues with it for decades, but I don’t see where it’s going to change any time soon.

                    • bad fairie says:

                      mia culpa then. i think having a few days of sunlight and then back to rain has done something to my higher reasoning abilities. and i get your beef with the hands out, eye spiting thing, yet i can’t help but think of all the foreign governments we’ve covertly helped to topple plays a big part in that lack of gratitude.

                  • eddiepscetti says:

                    Oh, and while Byrd may think the U.S. is a bunch of scrooges, let’s not forget that even during the economic mess things are in, we still are giving money to other countries. Further to that, I would still like to know what other country gives as much (not percentage to the GDP) as the U.S.

                    • bad fairie says:

                      just as a thought in the dark, and one i hope nothing comes of, has anyone calculated how fast we’d be solvent as a nation again if we cut off all foreign aid and how long it would take to be solvent?

                      • eddiepscetti says:

                        That’s going to take a fair bit of research, but let me see if I can come up with a total dollar figure. From what I could find in a cursory search, everything was broken down by type of aid given.

                • Lele says:

                  It is up to the US to provide foriegn Aid to make the world a better place. America is not the only country that provides foreign aid. If we can get developing/struggling/wartorn/drought ravaged countries on their way to developing as well as all the good will it develops (it is the minority that protest in the streets it always is) then there will be less bombing and hate. It’s not a simple thing and it won’t happen fast but denying struggling countries aid while we embezzel most of the worlds wealth and our people get fatter and fatter is just plain and simply not fair.

  4. Captain Wow says:

    I kind of like the Ray Bans one on the upcoming list because Putin looks so downhearted.

  5. mothergoose says:

    LOL – WIN!!!

  6. HairySexyTroll says:

    I just noticed the red carpet and the look on Putin’s face…

    “G’won, Joan, dis the threads. Double. Dog. Dares.”

  7. Rattus says:

    Okay, I’m going to be the douche who gets picayune about the grammar. It should read: Now in both formal and casual summer wear. Not “now both in”. That implies that there are two evils, and while I know that there are many, many evils, this LOL is making reference to a single evil available in two styles.

  8. Evertide says:

    Why is this place’s tagline “Lol Sarah Palin, Barack Obama, John McCain, [and] Joe Biden”? Only Obama has been heard from in any great capacity. Why don’t we replace Biden with Putin?

  9. Czernobog says:

    I’m disappointed with Qadaffi. He’s usually much more fabulous than this.

  10. Xexion says:

    aww fail Putin isn’t evil.

    • no of course he isn't says:

      Yeah, he’s just the head of the country which proclaims itself to be the official successor of Soviet Union, which in turn deported millions of people to death in Siberia etc (sometimes the pregnant and the old were killed on the way to make it easier – Chechnya 1944), caused the death of ca 10 million in 1932-1933 Ukrainian famine alone (google it), killed and jailed intellectuals or anyone voicing their opinion… And no, they still haven’t apologized. Actually they seem to think it was an awesome empire and should happen again.

      • bad fairie says:

        but he still looks good without his shirt off ;)

      • Eileen says:

        May I ask who these mysterious “they” are? Does Putin need to apologize for something that took place when he wasn’t even born? Or does the country need to apologize for having a crazy man as a leader?
        I don’t think Putin is guilty for being now the president of former very unlucky country.

        “Actually they seem to think it was an awesome empire and should happen again.” – THIS IS SO WRONG I CAN’T EVEN EXPRESS IT IN WORDS. THIS IS JUST NOT TRUE.

        • Xexion says:

          Thank you. This is like the US having to apologize for succeding over native americans who had human sacrifice and were bloodthirsty killers.

          • Um, what? Care to research those Native Americans and tell me how they were more bloodthirsty than today’s Americans?

            • froofrou says:

              Because they wore loincloths and were semi-unclothed. Won’t someone think of the children??

            • Eileen says:

              By the way, soviet people as a whole also were not at all bloodthirsty. Most of them were, on the contrary, very naive to worship Stalin (not knowing that he was insane). And even if they had enough information to assess the situation properly I don’t think there was a way to make him resign – he was more of a dictator.

              What was going on during the 30-ies etc. is horrible, no one denies that. But I don’t think the country (and a completely new and different one, the one practicing democracy) has to apologize to the international community for having been killing itself. Should Putin give a press-conference and say “WE ARE SORRY”? Of cource Russians ARE, does it need saying? The Russians are sorry that such a disaster has happened but they do not feel personally responsible for it.

  11. Keri says:

    Anyone remember that “evening wear” commercial from the 80s? That would have been way more appropriate, and a hilarious blast from the past.

  12. Fnubian says:

    I remember Gaddaffi mostly because he was the one who gave the IRA all those AK’s and stinger missiles back in de 80′s.

  13. Lagmonster says:

    Putin kicks ass with his shirt off. He could take any other world leader. He ain’t evil, y’all just jealous.

    • Jax says:

      apparently he’s widely fantasised about. Imagine some scenarios for me, i can’t for the life of me think of any.

  14. Brianna says:

    Putin especially, looks rather vile.

  15. xTenshiRawr says:

    Путин, моя любовь!!
    (Putin, my love)
