A California state senator has been receiving threats and ill-tempered messages for his personal investigation into California State University’s hiring of Sarah Palin for an appearance there.

Seems he wants details of the financial terms and other conditions of the deal, and is shocked to be receiving unpleasant messages concerning his interest.

Well. The shoe is on the other foot, is it not? Where is the reporting of the hundreds of threats and harrassing messages California State University is receiving for asking Sarah Palin to speak there? No, you will not hear about that, will you?

This is actually par for the course when a conservative is asked to speak at a liberal establishment; protests, threats, and warnings more often than not result in the appearance being cancelled. But when the liberal gets hassled…well, now, that must be news.

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.
