Sheesh, what a year already.

So many voters have that sinking feeling about the election. Seriously, they ask, is this the best we can do? Is this the best we got? Do we have to hold our noses when we pull that lever?

And some folks are asking if maybe it wouldn’t hurt to vote for the other party, as bad as those bastards are.

Seriously, what the hell happened to America? These voters shake their heads, wondering how it all came down to this. The opposition and all their campaign money will crush us. Sure enough, you can bet they’re going to pull out all the stops, even though all they have to do is simply point out what a non-moderate doofus he really is.

And the Republicans have things almost as bad.

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.
