I just had a baby and it looks like the man I had the baby with. It doesn’t look like me at all and I’m scared that he was cheating on me with another lady and I had her kid.
Though I was still quite busy this week, the only day I had to spend most of in a car was Tuesday (when we drove from San Francisco down to Los Angeles), so I had a lot more time to do blog work and was able to gather a reasonable number of links. Everything down to the first video was provided by Radley Balko, and the video itself by Wikileaks; it’s a parody of Swedish attitudes from Russian television. The second video is by Rachel Bloom, and the links between the videos are from Amy Alkon, Scott Long, Michael Whiteacre, Jesse Walker, Ed Krayewski, Popehat, Jason Kuznicki, Mike Siegel and Scott Greenfield (in that order).

Loved the 28 questions. I wanted to add #29: How have any of these dummies managed to live long enough to become adults?
1.) I read the questions. I now have eye cancer.
2.) The Russian parody video was interesting; I went to Finland once, and the threat of an invasion is considered real and no joke. They have a high level of gun ownership but very little gun violence. Reason? They’re for the Russians. And they are waiting.
My impression is that the Scandanavian nations play both sides of the coin. Save maybe for Norway … which pretty much seems to stand solid with the US … for now anyway. Much more of us being complete pussies and they may have to switch things up.
One of my favorite stories … which was quite the scandal in Norway … was Norwegian troops in Afghanistan. They were supposed to be there only for support – not combat … but somehow the officers “squeezed” their way into doing some combat patrols. The Vikings … well they took to it like ducks in water. Supposedly yelling ancient Viking war screams when they went into combat against the Taliban. One Viking told a reporter … “Killing is better than sex!” Well … you can imagine – the shit hit the fan when that was reported in Norway!!
I LOVE THE VIKINGS!!
I have been on US Naval ships when Sweden overflew us without permission – that is considered an aggressive act.
So I really don’t think of the Swedes as solid friends.
Norway is a bit different though. My friends over there tend to DISDAIN the Russians. The exception would be some of the smaller villages in Norway all the way up at the northern tip – which aren’t too far from Russia. Norway actually has a small border with Russia … that area is economically “linked” to Russia too since it’s in such close proximity.
