the good old days

I read all this depressing stuff about how the de facto Bush Administration not only condones torture, but is actually pushing to say how waterboarding is a legal "interrogation" technique.

Remember the good old days, when it was the BAD guys who tortured people, and we didn't?

But this nifty little news item brought back the flood of memories of a happier, better day. You know, the day when the Russians were unambiguously the bad guys. Now the new Russian empire is doing cool things like having its bombers buzz our aircraft carrier the Nimitz. The Nimitz scrambled fighters, things were tense, but nobody got shot or bombed.

Thanks Russia, for the nostalgia hit.
