Almighty America Strikes Again!


MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian village was left baffled on Thursday after its lake disappeared overnight.
NTV television showed pictures of a giant muddy hole bathed in summer sun, while fishermen from the village of Bolotnikovo looked on disconsolately.

"It is very dangerous. If a person had been in this disaster, he would have had almost no chance of survival. The trees flew downwards, under the ground," said Dmitry Zaitsev, a local Emergencies Ministry official interviewed by the channel.

Officials in Nizhegorodskaya region, on the Volga river east of Moscow, said water in the lake might have been sucked down into an underground water-course or cave system, but some villagers had more sinister explanations.

"I am thinking, well, America has finally got to us (http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=8547987) ," said one old woman, as she sat on the ground outside her house.

It might have been aliens. Maybe it was a terrorist lake stealer, or perhaps the earth just sucks some days.

And so another conspiracy is born!

Reminds me of the story in the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes". About the the ducks that landed on the lake and then the tempurature suddenly dropped and froze the lake and when the ducks took flight they took the lake with them.

any day now dop and guerilla and freethinker will have proof that america really did steal the lake, or that haliburton wants to run a pipeline through that area so they evaporated the lake with radiation lasers to kill off the inhabitants and deform their kids forever

Hell, we all know bush is behind this mess. He is to blame for everything bad that happens. He is the all powerfull wizard of America......"do not look behind the curtain, pay no attention to what is behind the curtain". "The great and terrible wizard of America has spoken".

(Toto shivers, the tin mad rattles and dorathy swoons, scarecrow rolls his eyes and the cowardly lion falls into step with the wizard and votes republican).

Hillary the wicked witch of the east, will fly in on her broom and do battle with the wizards protege in three years. Leaving our fate to flying monkeys or another great and terrible wizard.

We're not in Kansas anymore.

And now Trav will post crazy bullshit trying to compare whacky russian villigers to anyone he doesn't agree with.
