Pavlovian Response
From the 11/3/08 issue of The American Conservative, p. 5
The fiendish Russian prime minister has struck again! According to neoconservatives like Bill Kristol and Robert Kagan, Vladimir Putin dreams of subjugating the world. Indeed, he has already begun - with his household pet. Putin recently had his totalitarian techs whip up a satellite-tracked dog collar for his black labrador, Koni. "She looks sad," Reuters reported Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov as saying. "Her free life is over." Nyet, said Putin. "She is wagging her tail. That means she likes it." Expect some future Republican presidential contender, high on anti-Russian hysteria, to announce we are all black labs now. (Link to the Dreher article added by Caedmon.)

"As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It’s Alaska." (Governor Sarah Palin)
