Outrageous Behavior from Heathens
The BBC News is outraged enough to report that Iran, the filthy scoundrels, is blocking communications among its residents.
Evidently the BBC feels that government control of media is a bad thing.
Evidently the BBC still charges a licensing fee for anyone who owns a television, whether or not you use your home set to watch the BBC or not. Failure to comply, and you get fined. Fail to pay, and off you go and your set is confiscated.
Ah well. One-way government control is all right. It’s the two-way stuff they cannot abide.
Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
