Taking a walk outside the Tucson Arena today, I noticed a drunk looking man staggering my way. Hoping to avoid him begging for beer money, I sped up. With something clearly on his alcohol soaked mind, he changed his course to intercept me.

As he got closer, he slurred, “Ohhhh, It’s just another looooovely day here in Amaaaaaah-reeeee-caaaah!”

“Yup, sure is!” I replied, hoping this would end the conversation.

But he wasn’t finished yet. He rambled on, “You know what? Fuck Vladimir Putin! You know what that Russian asshole said about America? He said we’re worse than the Nazi’s! He did! That prick! That’s why we have nuclear bombs, for assholes like that guy!” And with that sentiment safely off his chest, he staggered away.

I hadn’t heard of Putin’s remark until just then. Not that it really matters, but it’s kind of sad to think random street drunks are more aware of foreign political affairs than I am.
