Tell Me This Is Wrong
Back in March in response to the Crimean crisis, Hillary Clinton noted that Putin’s tactics were similar to those of Hitler in the 1930s. In the Guardian article a Stanford ‘Russian expert’ said that the comparison was a stretch because Russia was not moving to take more land from Ukraine.
Well they took the Crimea, and now the Donets Basin is up for grabs.
With that in mind, we might want to compare the Sloviansk shooting with the Gleiwitz incident.

Happy Easter
This is what happens when you have small children – you dye your kitchen.
Yes, the festival of Easter, goddess of the Spring, is celebrated this time of year with the traditional symbols of fertility, the egg and the rabbit, by the people who settled around the Baltic Sea – the Teutons, Slavs, Finns, Prussians, Letts, et al. It is a festival of plenty after the hardships of winter, with the promise of new growth.
Of course, later groups took the celebration and turned it to other purposes, but I doubt Easter minds.
