Putin..."Can Yoouu Diiggg itt..."
I think Susan Boyle and Gingrich are relatives...
Many more important issues are nor focused yet.Many unheard voices need to be heard -----many unseen need to be seen through the media like The Economist --Cheers
I think Herman Cain's sexcapades should be discussed at greater length.
Putin is down to a 61% approval rating, lower then any point before in his political career. He still has all gears heading toward his presidency. Perhaps the russians are detecting he has alterior motives behind the election and is not in it for the good of Russia, although his ratings are still higher than any single politician in america.
.
Let's hope that the plan for voting in Egypt comes into action, because it is a very volatile situation right now clearly.
One less military government in this world, especially the middle east, is never a bad thing.
Maybe (and hopefully) Putin's reelection is not hundred percent certain. Even though the people of Russia would not want to vote for him they will probably have no choice because I can't see how he will allow anyone to go up against him. When Putin decides to be president he will be president!
Wow - Putin was rated lower than ever and was still rated more than any US president! While this seems like it is not a big deal, Putin should be sure to see what caused his approval rating to go down so that he may prevent it in the future!
Putin - was your hearing aid turned on??
Economissed - what about climategate2.0?? You missed climategate 1.0 just before Copenhagen! 2.0 was last week just before Durban. You support of the IPCC fraud is showing!!
