The Gormogons are most concerned for the people of Chile, who have been hit with an earthquake about 20 times more powerful than the one that crushed Haiti. We know now that the anticipated tsunami that almost evacuated Hawaii fortunately dissipated into extremely rough surf.

So the Czar reads that “Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is monitoring the situation from Vancouver where she’s leading the U.S. delegation to the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics.”

Excuse us? No, the Czar is not outraged that the Secretary is not dropping everything to rush into Chile or back to DC and do…well, whatever it is the DHS is supposed to do when Hawaii, Samoa, and Guam are threatened by a tsunami.

The Czar is astonished that the Chief of Staff looked at all the recent terrorist activity on American soil and decided to send Napolitano to an Olympic wrap party rather than protect us from the next inevitable hit. They couldn’t send Biden? Clinton? Rice?

On the other hand, the Obama inner circle may realize that Napolitano might be more effective at waving to Shaun White than the disastrous mess she has made of her own duty.

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.
