Medvedev might need a better PR firm: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jun/30/russia-nigeria-gas-name-blunder

It probably seemed a good idea at the time. But Russia's attempt to create a joint gas venture with Nigeria is set to become one of the classic branding disasters of all time ‑ after the new company was named Nigaz.

The venture was agreed last week during a four-day trip by Russia's president Dmitry Medvedev to Africa. The deal between Russia's Gazprom and Nigeria's state oil company was supposed to show off the Kremlin's growing interest in Africa's energy reserves.

Is it true that Sarah Palin just bought a round trip ticket to Argentina as her first act as a private citizen?
