The Last Act or Just the Prelude

Google News has links to 108 news feeds announcing that Dmitry Medvedev was nominated to be the Presidential candidate for United Russia and other Kremlin-friendly non-jackal parties; and VVP saw the nomination and thought that it was good.

Too easy, its not going to end just like that.  That may be a front for being caught off-guard.  The rumour doing the rounds in late summer was that Medvedev had been caught with his hands in the cookie jar and would henceforth be the man running the key cookie jar (GAZP) but would not be running the whole damn thing.

Maybe, it was the compromat that was needed to get him nominated.

I feel a little upbeat about this – strange since it started getting dark here just before it got light.
