PUT IN BUSH...

Don't you miss them just a little bit? No? Not yet? Not even if you think of it like a fairy tale? Putin Bush - Puss in Boots... No? OK.

I think I've made my feelings clear about the poster boys of the Naughts here, but I have to admit that upon instant retrospect these guys seem oddly human to me.
One of the strange functions of any strong emotion is the embedded ghost of its opposite. Or am I just a sentimental fool?
