Good news folks. Pat Buchanan has declared Russia the winner and Georgia the loser.
And as a result the Russian way will be the wave of the future. All because we neocon chickenhawks were determined to go bear-baiting.

I am serious when I say that Patrick J ain’t called one right yet and that he represents
those folks incapable of objective analysis.
Had he been around in the 1930s he would have called China the aggressor and Japan the victor. And since the Chinese were suffering, why that meant the Japs were getting stronger and stronger. (In truth, they kept weakening their ability to sustain an engagement with Uncle Sam.)

Thus the Buchanan pronouncements——in conjunction with those that called Russia justified—- are strong indicators that
our side will prevail.

So to honor our paleo gloom and doomers,
Buddy Larsen and I will now harmonize:

“Gloom despair and agony on me”
Deep dark depression, excessive misery”
If it wern’t for bad luck, ,
I would have no luck at all.
Gloom despair and agony on me.
(sob, sob sob)
