Russia announces rearmament plan?!

BBC News reported today that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has said Moscow will begin a comprehensive military rearmament from 2011. Bad news!! It sounds like we are headed for Cold War v2.0!

I've got an idea and proposal for both Obama and Medvedev... Lets get this over with quickly! Why don't we just duke it out on the ice again. We did it in 1980, and I think we can take them again! The winner gets to own the label "Worlds Biggest Superpower" and rights to some land on the moon. As a condition of the match both countries agree to stop pursuing nuclear arms. So how about it? We can even duke it out at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Vancouver... it'll be neutral ground!

Lakota Sioux Indians Declare Sovereign Nation Status?!

Ok so I rarely post about "news" type items but I saw this and found it pretty fascinating so I couldn't resist. If this is the real deal this is huge. Much like Pluto being kicked out of our solar system, the maps we so diligently studied and learned in grade school may soon no longer be correct. There may soon be this little landlocked nation in the middle of the States called Lakotia (?) or something like that. It sounds like they are serious and seem to have some legal grounds to do so. I say good for them. I was discussing it with a co-worker just now and she said they don't deserve it and that life is survival of the fittest and that they lost what was theirs fair and square. I call BS on that argument. Ones ability to kill someone else doesn't make it acceptable or right. That being said they better have a hefty plan for self governance in place if they hope to survive in the modern world.
