THE MOSCOW OF THE SOUTH RADIO HOUR Вопрос об исключении России из «Большой восьмерки» не более чем политический шантаж - неумелый и грубый. Если нас всё же исключат, то этот клуб станет ущербным и, в отдаленной перспективе, будет напоминать ГУАМ. Эффективных санкций против России Запад предпринять не может - тем более, что никакого повода для них Россия не давала

Во вторник российские демократы выразили свою консолидированную позицию по поводу грузино-югоосетинского конфликта. Заявление от имени «координационной группы по созыву общероссийского съезда демократических сил», опубликованное на одном из оппозиционных веб-сайтов, настолько красноречиво, что не нуждается в дополнительных комментариях.

Just to clear up any rumors that may have been started by jealous people walking by the Orange Peel at 1:30 a.m. Friday morning….Becky did not run off and get married to Rhett Miller, lead singer of the Old 97’s…but you can’t blame a guy for trying.Because of blown fuses on stage, the group didn’t get to play their single, “Dance With Me.” Listen in Monday from 2 to 4 to hear the song, and lots of other fun tunes that will make you want to jump out of your chair and boogie.
