Russian lake vanishes, resident blames U.S.

No wonder the Russkies drink vodka: Uncle Sam is stealing all their water!
A Russian village was left baffled Thursday after its lake disappeared overnight. NTV television showed pictures of a giant muddy hole bathed in summer sun, while fishermen from the village of Bolotnikovo looked on disconsolately.
Officials in Nizhegorodskaya region, on the Volga river east of Moscow, said water in the lake might have been sucked down into an underground water-course or cave system, but some villagers had more sinister explanations. "I am thinking, well, America has finally got to us," said one old woman, as she sat on the ground outside her house.
Reports indicate that the lake is being airlifted to Camp David, where Chimpy Bushitler will bathe his toes in the cool, pilfered water while laughing evilly.
