The most recent poll shows that 50% of Russians think Putin should start a nuclear war with the US.
Russia Defeats the Degenerate Westerners
Russia continues its fight against the degenerate Western values. This 17 – year-old girl in Russia was sold in marriage to this much older fellow. The fellow is already married, so the girl will be wife number something.
But the degenerate Westerners need to be resisted as much as possible because all they want is to bring pedophilia to Russia.
P.S. There are no Westerners in the photo, obviously.

The Board of Trustees of my university has not managed to communicate to us the decisions it made on Thursday but N and I are celebrating just in case.
Kerry’s Visit to Russia
I keep dumping on John Kerry for making a visit to Russia and allowing Putinoid propaganda to present the event as evidence that pathetic Americans are horribly suffering because of the sanctions and have now arrived to beg the mighty Russians for mercy.
A teacher in the Russian city of Irkutsk is teaching her students in class that Michelle Obama is a man and that American tourists poke Russian women with infected needles to make them infertile and destroy the Russian race. Obviously, I’m not happy about Kerry going over to Russia and feeding this sort of triumphant anti-Americanism.
However, the only thing that is capable of preventing Russia from escalating warfare in Ukraine right now is very evident, painful and detailed humiliation on the part of Americans. And so Obama sends Kerry to play the role of a supplicant who crawls in to beg for mercy.
It’s all quite disgusting but what else is there to do at this point?
$100
Don’t you ever get the feeling that the smallest unit of monetary measurement these days is $100? Everything costs $100.
Renewing the car registration? $100.
Buying medication? $100.
Hiring a handyman to put up lighting fixtures? $100.
The lighting fixtures themselves? $100.
And don’t even hope to set a foot in the grocery store without being prepared to part with $100.
Every day I wake up and wonder which new development will require me to say good-bye to yet another $100 on this day.
The British Sense of Humor
If you are traveling to the UK, make sure that the staff at you hotel can’t see your reading matter. Or this is the way your room might be made up.

Book Notes: Antonio Gamoneda ‘ s Erroneous Song
Author: Antonio Gamoneda
Title: Erroneous Song
Language: Spanish
Year: 2012
I’m generally not good with Spanish poetry but there are poets I somehow just get in spite of my lack of sophistication in this area.
Antonio Gamoneda is one such poet. Erroneous Song is his first collection of poetry since he got the Cervantes Prize back in 2006. This is very dark poetry. The 84-year-old poet is facing his own approaching death and trying to find meaning in existence. In every poem, his conclusion is the same: there is no meaning.
This is very dark, very complex poetry that cannot be fully understood without an immersion into the author’s poetic imagery that he’s been creating throughout his life.
More on Immaturity
A woman in her sixties was outbid on a house she wanted.
“Nobody was willing to recognize that this was very traumatic,” she says petulantly. “The realtor was refusing to treat this as real trauma.”
So she tried to get the new owner of the house raped. But she feels justified because of the trauma she experienced when she couldn’t buy the house she wanted.
True story.
Confusions
I never remember anybody’s face, so when people stop me in the street with, “OMG, I haven’t seen you for SO long? How ARE you doing?” I just respond with, “Hey! It’s been so long! So great to see you!”
And it’s really embarrassing when people respond to that with, “Oh wait. I think I’m confusing you with someone!”
What’s a person supposed to say to that?
Fake PhD Dissertations
Let’s look at the following website, offering “one-of-a-kind and never resold” PhD dissertations:
The website warns people not to get lured by the dishonest competitors who sell bad product. And who might those competitors be?
So who are these kind people who are warning the American students about evil Ukrainian websites? Hmm, that’s a mystery!
Well, no, not really. The small print at the bottom of the page tells us all we need to know:
