Lie Down With Dogs, Et Cetera
What a great week for the President! Just when his popularity numbers cemented him under 50%, the President picked up some key endorsements certainly to win over the hearts of Americans. Thank goodness the American press reports on any praise the President receives, no matter from whom it comes, or we might have missed this stuff in the age of right-wing media bias.

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.
