It’s not just you…
Well, it could also be caused by NATO, the EU, and the US being so wishy washy that the Russians showed up in the first place. A firmer stance at the beginning and the Crimea is still Ukrainian.
The general world attitude towards rogue states is appeasement right now, which history has shown simply doesn’t work. WWIII won’t start until Poland falls again, unless the Chinese start it with Japan. Or the Israelis nuke Iran.

James Garner3 has passed away.
Odd thing is, I dreamed about him a few days ago, before seeing this. If I remember correctly, he was giving me advice about something.

I think the ad banner at the bottom of the page is in rather bad taste, considering the context:

Lame. He was one of my favorites. 
I just started to read about this. Apparent suicide. That’s just awful. 
Crap. That’s really sad to hear.
Living currently in Middletown, DE, where it was filmed, I must now watch Dead Poets Society… If I had learned nothing else from his work, Carpe Diem would have been enough. I am saddened he couldn’t find his own way to keep on seizing the day…
I don’t know, I think he beat the average for comedians like him. 63 may seem young, but it’s not a bad run.
It’s not a bad run no, but he still had ideas to share. I was really bummed when his recent show got cancelled. It was really good. And he was a gamer/geek at heart so he’s one of us. I’ll miss him.
I can add nothing about Robin Williams that hasn’t been said a thousand times (and better than I am capable) but couldn’t bear to let the passing of such a unique individual go unremarked. I too, will miss him in all his amazing iterations.
He was pretty local to me. In fact, I’m going to a barbeque in Tiburon this Saturday, and I will probably think about him while I’m there.
Tiburon always makes me think if a bit from a stand up routing he did in the 80’s.
"Tiburon, from the Spanish word tiburón meaning ‘condominium’*. Condominium from the Latin meaning to overcharge for no reason.
- tiburón actually means shark.
Is that where Ron Burgendy got his San Diego meaning whales vagina?
I’m sad to see her go, but glad she got to have a long life.

No, pretty sure that came from somewhere else.
