Putin may actually be batshit crazy

This is pretty good.

Quote"Russia is being much more assertive now than it has been for a very long time," he said at a press conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron, also in Australia for the summit. "Interestingly, Russia's economy is declining even as Russia's assertiveness is increasing."

Meanwhile HOW GREAT WOULD IT BE IF PUTIN GREW A DWARF BEARD!?

Not much photoshop out there for this. Maybe Banzai can work his magic. This is the best I found:

I'm pleased to see *someone* is showing some backbone.

QuoteThe Russian president is reportedly planning to leave the summit early on Sunday and miss its official lunch in response to repeated criticism from western leaders.

The move comes after Tony Abbott, the Australian Prime Minister, threatened to "shirt front" Mr Putin - a form of physical confrontation. Stephen Harper, the Canadian Prime Minister, told Mr Putin: "I guess I'll shake your hand, but I'll only have one thing to say to you - get out of the Ukraine."

Mr Cameron told Mr Putin that he is at a "crossroads" and could face further sanctions after the pair held "robust" discussions on Ukraine.

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

It's sad that Australia has to stand up to Russia, though. Where's the nads on the rest of the world?

Not just Aussies.

If Canada and Australia decide your time has come, your time will have damn well come.

Not really magic after a few minutes' worth of tweaking layers and filters, but here you go:
