Good ole Vlad. If he isn’t plotting to seize “Alyeska” he’s saving former Soviet glory from the capitalists.

If only Vlad had been in Chelyabinsk he could have eliminated the meteor with his atomic ray gun.

By sheer chance I actually met this loon in 1991. At that time he was the head of the new "Liberal Democratic Party of Russia" and was running (came in third) for President of the Russian Republic (still then part of the Soviet Union). That he's still in the Duma and has the post of Vice Chairman (had to look that up) is startling.

But no more startling, I guess, than the fact that Shirley Jackson Lee is a member of Congress. In terms of crazed, stupid, and dangerous elected politicians them Ruskies got nothin' on us!
