On this early Sunday morning, all within the last half-hour, are these headlines from the world's media as aggregated by Google News under one subject, Russia:

Flurry of diplomacy raises hopes in Ukraine

US and Russia 'closer' to resolving Ukraine crisis

Russia Reinforcing Units on Border with Ukraine, Pentagon Says

Man does C-section on dead porcupine, saves baby

Ukraine crisis: Kerry and Lavrov in push for solution

The last of these is from the BBC. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was on the plane, in the air, flying home when he abruptly instructed his pilots to turn and take him to Paris.  Malaysian radar lost him at that point. Kerry will be meeting with Lavrov on Ukraine. Doesn't say if the Pentagon has been informed. Can't have been bad that Putin called Obama--was that yesterday? Bet Putin put something in writing as Obama asked him to. Bet it was on Ukraine. Hope it wasn't on the C-section on the dead porcupine. Don't know what strength weed the news aggregators in Mountain View are smoking.
