What, Like a Yacht Club or Something?

US, allies weigh punishment for Russia
Scrambling to find ways to punish Russia for its invasion of pro-Western Georgia, the United States and its allies are considering expelling Moscow from an exclusive club of wealthy nations and have scrapped plans for an upcoming joint NATO-Russia military exercise, Bush administration officials said Tuesday.
Yeah, that'll show 'em. Somehow I think the Russians aren't really in need of a "military exercise" anytime soon, they seem to have gotten all the exercise they need over the last five days. But make sure they don't hear about the kegger this weekend!

Here's a thought. Tell the Russians that the Georgians are our allies, and that any further hostilities, or a lack of an immediate withdrawl of all Russian forces will result in immediate deployment of American forces to the area.

Brings to mind a piece from The Onion's brilliant Our Dumb Century entitled "Sinatra Warns Ruskies: Knock Off This Commie Bunk or it’s Ring-a-Ding-Ding for you Bozos." The title pretty much says it all. Somebody needs to grow some balls.
