Haven't finished it yet, but this is something Americans need to read badly in order to understand Russia:

http://www.newsweek.com/id/214243

EDIT: Finished reading. It's still hypocritical to a degree and very one-sided in thinking (which I expected from freaking Newsweek), but it does tell a good amt of truth, especially on Russian perspective of westerners.

Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?

Norman Borlaug, father of the Green Revolution, who has saved more lives than anyone else in Earth's history, dies at 95. Media remains focused on Ted Kennedy.

If you kept up with the news, you'd realize Beijing's currency control is effectively fanning up an economic war...

now add a Media War to the mix:

As someone who takes the train a few times a year, this is quite worrisome. Admittedly, train security right now is a joke unless they're taking a carful of troops someplace.


Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pron surfed, weak and weary,
Over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore',
While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour,
"'Tis not possible!", I muttered, "Give me back my free hardcore!

I'm writing a game.

I'm also writing up a little setting to playtest it in.
