http://www.campusprogress.org/page/community/tag_rss/government/html With the weird and slightly apocalyptic weather and flooding recently (DC is like 70 right now), I have some disjointed thoughts about conversations that look place after that <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/03/us/03safety.html" target="_blank">bridge in Minneapolis collapsed</a>.&nbsp; Here's why: http://www.campusprogress.org/page/community/post/tpaperny/CHv5 http://www.campusprogress.org/page/community/post/tpaperny/CHv5/commentary#comments Tue, 08 Jan 2008 15:31:13 EST http://www.campusprogress.org/page/community/post/tpaperny/CHv5 Tanya Paperny http://www.campusprogress.org/page/community/profile_picture/8b4817d486174d7d6c_39zmv2ix4.jpg Tanya Paperny Campus Progress 6 http://www.campusprogress.org/page/community/comment_rss/CHv5/ <p>Wow Russia just can&#39;t stay out of the headlines this week.&nbsp; Procreation day (wonderful idea),&nbsp; oh and that little thing of dissolving their government.&nbsp; If you haven&#39;t heard about Russia&#39;s Procreation Day then you must have been living under a rock these past few days.&nbsp; A region in Russia is having difficulty in keeping it&#39;s population up, so officials last year came up with an awesome contest.&nbsp; They made September 12th a half day for Russian workers so they could go home and procreate... the best part is if you have a baby exactly 9 months later on the Russian national day (June 12th) you get PRIZES!!&nbsp; Awesome huh?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Oh and today&#39;s little headline... Putin dissolves government.&nbsp; No biggie.&nbsp; <br /></p> http://www.campusprogress.org/page/community/post/Guy/CHxZ http://www.campusprogress.org/page/community/post/Guy/CHxZ/commentary#comments Wed, 12 Sep 2007 10:01:35 EDT http://www.campusprogress.org/page/community/post/Guy/CHxZ Guy Guy University of Utah 1 http://www.campusprogress.org/page/community/comment_rss/CHxZ/
