CNN reports that Americans are divided—probably another 80/20 tie, right Gort?—over whether President Obama has done enough to merit his Nobel Peace Prize.

The CNN report reaffirms the Czar’s ongoing speculation that people fall into two camps:

1. People who tend to look at reality, facts, considerations, and a diversity of factors, and

2. People who tend to embrace hope, wishes, fantasy, and imagination.

The former camp tend to be giving the President thumbs-down votes. The latter camp tend to continue to support the President without question. If you read the CNN report, you can clearly see into which camp each of the four interviewees falls.

The first is self-explanatory. The second, well…look at it this way. Mr. Willies gives the President a smiley face because Willies felt the world is better. Mr. Milam goes mmm-mmm-mmm over Barack Hussein Obama because “we need to give each other home, we need to give ourselves hope; it’s something to strive for so let’s be glad for President Obama.” Whatever that total non sequitur is supposed to mean about the President, it certainly does not fall into the reality camp, does it?

Et cetera, friends.

The Czar of Muscovy

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.
