Caspian Anachronisms

Birds of a feather do flock together. Presidents Vladimir V. "KGB" Putin of Russia and Mahmoud "I'm a douchebag" Ahmadinejad of Iran met in Tehran yesterday. They held hands and drank tea while castigating the "Great Satan", and they are planning to enter the Twentieth Century with hoped-for development of the oil and gas reserves of the Caspian Sea.

Meanwhile, we can only hope that the US will soon develop viable thermonuclear (fusion) power reactors, making oil and gas deposits obsolete in the Twenty-first Century.
