I feel gross. It's become perfectly cold here (real honest to goodness makes you contemplate your own mortality Chicago cold); I died my hair but can't wash it yet; and they've reglazed my bathtub, but left instructions that it should be given 48 hours to dry, meaning no bathing for 48 hours...
That nasty person, Henry Hyde, has died.
Here are some United Russia ads. Pros: Not at all deeply, personally vicious and negative like in a real democracy. Cons: They look like some film student was asked to do an exercise in Soviet propaganda, applying it to contemporary Russia.
And a funny bit from Sean's Russia Blog:
SPS is now complaining that the Kremlin has broken its promise to give SPS seats if they refrained from criticizing Putin. "At first, Kremlin spin doctors said the party would be allowed into the Duma if it refrained from criticism," an unnamed SPS deputy told the Moscow Times. "But then they changed their minds and decided not to keep their promise. The party is angry, and now the only chance it has to get into the parliament is to gather the protest vote." The Communists and Yabloko both claim to have made similar deals with the Kremlin. What!? And now were are expected to feel sorry for them? If anything their whining about broken political promises should be a signal to their supporters that they are nothing but slimy political opportunists. All's fair in love, war, and politics, boys. What a bunch of losers.
SPS are the "democratic" party... "Pretending that you already know the answer when you don't is not actually very helpful." ~Migeru.
Still no snow though, which is bizarre. "Pretending that you already know the answer when you don't is not actually very helpful." ~Migeru.
