The US and Russia are now in a bidding war over who gives a bigger handout to Greece in return to its allegiance.

The Greeks are now openly whoring themselves out to the highest bidder.

I knew that the Star of David had to be integrated into the Ukrainian trident sooner or later:

This is very heartwarming.

By the way, the Parliament of the Ukrainian Republic back in 1918 would not pass any legislation unless the Jewish lawmakers were present at the sessions. Did anybody else make efforts at that time to give representation to Jews in a national parliament?

These are the cutest shoes known to humanity, so I gave them to myself as a birthday gift.

But then I also found another pair that’s also cute. So I got that as well.

My sister has this effect on me.

A court in St. Petersburg denied the request of a music teacher to be reinstated in her job. The teacher had been fired for being a lesbian. The judge ruled that the teacher had committed an immoral act by posting a photo of herself hugging her girlfriend on social media. In the court’s eyes, this made the teacher guilty of “propaganda of homosexuality.”

Now let’s wait and see if The Nation reports on this. I’m kidding, of course. There is no point in waiting for the Putinoid rag to care about gay rights under the regime of The Nation’s idol.

. . . is that she’s only been in politics from 2001 to February of 2013. And that’s a very short time for a politician to mature. Besides, it’s not like she’s known for any phenomenal achievements either as a senator or as Secretary of State.

Yes, I know there is nobody else but that doesn’t mean we should not discuss the limitations of the existing candidate.

Europe’s Angry Muslims is mostly a good read but there are parts where the author falls into precisely the kind of rhetoric that caused all the problems with Europe’s Muslim immigrants to begin with:

Migration, cousin marriage, seclusion of women, the return of remains … these practices occur not in isolation but as part of a way of life, a culture.

It is really annoying when vicious, nasty abuse of women is referred to as “culture.” This is a way of granting legitimacy to an inexcusable practice which, in reality, knows no cultural boundaries. In Russia, for instance, “seclusion of women” (aka treating women as cattle) existed for centuries. In certain social classes  (like merchants, for instance), it remained in place until the revolution of 1917.

Let’s stop excusing horrifying mistreatment of women by covering it up with the empty label of “culture.” It’s 2015, for Pete’s sake. Isn’t it time to say that this is not OK? Enough already with going weak in the knees whenever barbarity is defended as cute little cultural differences. Especially when they are not really that different from anything.

I wonder what it is that Ukrainians should have done to satisfy the sick fucks at The Nation. Ukraine ‘ s former president left the country of his own free will. He’d ordered the troops to open fire on protesters. After 100 people were killed, he freaked out and ran away. To Russia.

So what should Ukrainians have done? Hunted him down Mossad-style, kidnapped him, and dragged him back to Ukraine against his will to serve out the rest of his term?

Seriously, what do the brainless losers at The Nation suggest in this situation? They’ve got to have some alternative in mind if they offer this supercilious, high-handed judgments of Ukrainians.

Once again, The Nation is being extraordinarily unprofessional in its reporting on Ukraine. The magazine actually condemns the ousting of the country’s corrupt president Yanukovitch after he ordered the troops to open fire on peaceful protesters in 2013.

The stupid rag never fails at reaching new and disgusting lows in its efforts to service Putin and his lackeys.

While waiting for my sister to try on dresses at Nordstrom, I picked up a fashion magazine and read the following blurb:

Naja is a socially – conscious, luxurious, but affordable lingerie brand that empowers women.

I’ve tried to imagine how underwear can “empower” while having a social conscience, but failed.
