Russia's Putin gets tiger cub for his birthday5 hours agoMOSCOW (AP) ? There's no doubt what Vladimir Putin's favorite birthday present is this year ? a rare Ussuri tiger cub.State television showed the Russian prime minister affectionately petting the two-month-old female cub on Friday. The tiger weighs only about 20 pounds and sleeps in a wicker basket at Putin's residence outside Moscow.Putin says a good home will be found for the tiger, presumably in a zoo or wildlife preserve. He hasn't decided what to call her, but is leaning toward Mashenka or Milashka.Putin refuses to say who gave him the cub for his 56th birthday, which was Tuesday.The Ussuri tiger is also known as the Siberian, Amur or Manchurian tiger. Fewer than 400 are believed to survive in the wild.?
Re: Vladimir Putin's Birthday
Is this true?! Then I am horrified on two counts.

It is. ?Google the title. ?Apparently he's a black-belt in Judo. ?Is it bad that I really want to get my hands on a copy of that DVD?
You must have missed how WonderWife on E08 thinks this is why we need Obama - because McCain isn't physically able to take on Putin. Ugh, I feel gross even repeating it.
I want to know where that Tiger came from. He'd better get it to an appropriate location stat, but I'm still concerned about the glorification of Tigers as pets.
He may have passed Huckabee in his dude-be-crazyness.
