What Fits into Mother Russia?

So I saw this video first in eighth grade, and it has since become one of my favorites. This is a short clip from an SCTV short. Enjoy!

Apologies

I am very sorry for my recent lack of posting. It's been a bit of a rough time and I haven't had much of a chance to sit down and write. This week I'm starting back up so please keep coming back daily.

Also, someone posted a comment on Friday criticizing several things, chiefly the fact that some of my posts are a bit long. I realize I never did explain the outline of this blog clearly so I'm taking this opportunity to do just that.

The posts on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday all consist of small "blurbs" in which I post an article or share a few quick thoughts. Every Wednesday I will post a video; the last two weeks have been old propaganda from the '50s.
Every Friday I will post my "tour-de-force" essay, which is very long (yes, that is, in fact, the point). This essay goes into much more depth than any of the other posts. This post is much more formal
Occasionally on Saturday I will review a book or something. That is still in the experimental stages.

Thanks for you understanding; hopefully this has cleared some stuff up. :)

More Federal Control

I just read this article and it just goes to show how much government is infringing on personal freedom. Now I admit, it's not that bad of an idea, and most of us have nothing to hide, so why does this matter? In my opinion, it's a matter of principle. As soon as you allow for things like this, it becomes slightly more acceptable for more civil liberties to be taken away. It's a slippery slope.

Sorry, Come Back Monday.

I was busy tonight and did not get home until just ten minutes ago (it's now 9:50) so there will be no tour-de-force essay. It will instead be posted on Monday. I am still unsure as to what the topic will be, so if you have ideas by all means post them on the suggestions page.

Political Poll

Today I am conducting a poll. I am curious as to what political demographic is viewing this blog. Scroll down to the very bottom where the poll is posted. It's completely anonymous so don't gripe about how it's too personal of a question.

It will be open for the next six days, so I'm very interested to see what the results show.

Thanks!
