Does Sniffy Hate Freedom, Jesus, and His Scrappy, Lovable Sidekick Baby Jesus?

Town in Alaska saved by transfer of fuel:

A Russian tanker has begun transferring 1.3 million gallons of fuel to icebound Nome, Alaska, the U.S. Coast Guard reports.  The fuel is flowing through 1,200 yards of hoses from the tanker Renda - anchored amid the Bering Sea ice off the coast of the town of 3,500 - to a fuel transfer station on shore. The transfer began at 5:06 p.m. local time Monday and is expected to last several days, the Coast Guard said in a news release. The tanker arrived off Nome on Saturday night after being escorted through almost 300 miles of Arctic ice by the Coast Guard cutter Healy, the service's only operating Arctic icebreaker.

Um...excuse me, but a RUSSIAN tanker?  Allowed inside Alaska's house to pump what we're being led to believe is fuel?  Where's Sniffy's outrage over such appeasement??!?!?!?!  Where's her "Ronald Reagan would never have let this happen!!!!" screeching?  How could a Mama Grizzly allow such a thing?!?!?!!?!?!?!!!!!!! Didn't she see this snake attacking from her house?

Hmm. INteresting, n'est-pas? Curious, even...heavens to Mergatroid!!!!

"The tanker's from where? Oh shit, I thought you just meant they were hurrying!!!!"
