MOSCOW — Seven individuals were reportedly arrested for allegedly trafficking uranium and weapons in a breakaway region of Moldova.

The unnamed group had been detained last week in the separatist enclave of Transnistria, according to Moldova’s interior ministry, Reuters reported.

The group had allegedly been involved in shipments of hand grenades, Kalashnikov assault rifles, rocket propelled grenade launchers, and even containers of uranium-235, which could be used to produce a nuclear bomb.

Many were elderly, possibly as old as 75 years. “The purpose of the experiments,” noted Milloy, “was often simply to see what would happen when health-impaired people inhaled highly toxic substances.”

The experiments, which have been conducted with the assistance of the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, are ongoing.

Obama walks out on stage

Romney walks out on stage wearing a suit of armor, smacks Obama over the head with a rubber chicken, and then walks off.

Aha - KT McFarland had the best explanation for why TFG isn't meeting with anyone at the UN - apparently if he does, then Romney will have the right to meet with them, too, and there is no way he wants those photo ops...
