Goodbye Mr. Putin, hello Mr. Putin.
Hey Clark,
He was out of a job for less than 24 hours. Not even time to collect unemployment!

I think that that is a fantastic photo - what a brilliant statement about Russian Political Culture! Can you imagine Obama posing for his first photo as President with that expression on his face?
Maybe he is just intimidated by the puppet master.....ooops prime minister!!!
Hey Matt,
I think that is one of Putins strong points, his look intimidates.
Thanks for stopping by and you are correct about the photo.
Svet now says things to me like, "I wonder how the twins will run Russia now." :)
She makes me laugh when she calls them twins.
"Puppet Master" didn't they make a scary movie called Puppet Master?
