Mailbag: The Olympics As Proxy War
This is awesome. GD writes in to respond to Dr. J.
I prefer Chess:
“A model of decorum and tranquility become, like any other sport, a battleground for rival ideologies to slug it out with glee…”
Keep on Gormogonin’

Thanks, GD—the more you guys write this A-material, the less we have to do…and is that not the whole point of world domination? And to see Elaine Page youtubed just above Run D.M.C shows the sheer cultural depth that the Gormogons will soon extinguish when the Mandarin decides your costumes and writes all the world’s songs going forward.
Gormogon as a verb? That is indeed catchy. The Czar welcomes contributions from our operatives and readers attempting to define it.
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.
