Well, we must have somehow already reached the bottom of the barrel when it comes to political analysis of the recent election. The Czar is unimpressed with this non-shocker story from The Weekly Standard: “GOP Won Greater Percentage of Senate than House Seats.”

No kidding. There were only 37 Senate races, compared to 435 House races! Thirty-seven is a pretty tiny number proportionately. Here’s an equal math surprise: more people proportionately voted for Green Party Senate candidates in generally conservative Arizona (1.87% of the total vote) than voted for them in generally liberal California (1.19% of the vote!!!!1!!one!!). But the number of actual votes reveals something more mundane.

One isn’t sure what author Jeffrey H. Anderson hopes to gain with that discovery, unless the Democrats—notorious for a lack of math skills—suddenly declare themselves the minority in the Senate.

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.
