Big headline today in Izvestia:
Буш отправляет войска охранять южную границу США
That is, “Bush sends troops to guard southern border of US.” Which is accurate (I even watched some of the address on “immigration reform” last night, out of morbid curiosity). Sounds as stupid in English as it does in Russian, doesn’t it?
Oh, I forgot. We’re at war. It’s like the movie Rocky, as Colbert tells it:
The president in this case is Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed is … everything else in the world.
