Heh, whenever my buddy and I would pass the state police barracks up here, we would simultaneously break into a hearty, deep-throated rendition of the Soviet national anthem (using, of course, some kind of pidgin language that seemed to sound like Russian to us!)

Ironic, I always felt that Israel and Iran would get into a fistfight.

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.”

2 Corinthians 1:2-5

Going back a bit - Vlad wasn’t looking very chipper when he was introduced.

I don’t thing “chipper” is a Russian trait.

I personally would not give a rat’s patootie about it, except for the fact that they seem determined to MAKE it my business by shaping public policy to it, exposing it to kids in schools and making it mandatory to accept it as normal behavior.

If not for that, it would be between them and God, and I wouldn’t care a whit.

Sounds great. Go skiing in the morning and relax on the beach in the afternoon.

If only it wasn’t in Russia.

Russia is a huge country. You can see it for a lifetime and never really see all of it! Its impossible, even for the Russians.
