English Russia Presents The Apocalypse, Russian Style
By Ann Magnuson
English Russia has been one of my favorite websites ever since POPBITCH introduced me to it via their snark-a-thon newsletter. (They lured me in with the link to the exotic pet owners who kept a Siberian tiger in their tiny Soviet block apartment. I particularly liked when they fed the kitty live chickens in the living room and huge live catfish in the bathtub!) When you've had it up to your democratic jackass with the primary or feel a little wobbly about the increasingly wobbly state of our U.S. economy then check out what is happening in Mother Russia! You'll get a few laughs and just maybe a much-need shot of gratitude. I LOVE these conceptual images by Russian artists who envision The Motherland post-U.S. preemptive strike. Hey, looks like a Chuck Heston flick!

Say Hi to Evgeny Lebedev
By Mickey Boardman
Here at MMBlog, the hunt for international cuties of both sexes never ends, which is why we were happy to recently stumble upon Evgeny Lebedev a London-based Russian who is the president of the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation. This photo from Tatler is not so gorgeous, but the better photo in Point de Vue was too small to scan well. MM knows you kids don't care how choppy the water is, you just want Mr. Mickey to bring home the boat. His father is one of Russia's super rich oligarchs who are to the 2000s what the Saudi Princes were to the 1980s.

Joint Chinese/Russian Military Excercise (plus The Simpsons) for MAY DAY!
By Ann Magnuson
YIKES! Happy May Day? No wonder NASA wants to keep those commies off the moon! But wait a minute, are the Russians even commies anymore? And with everyone scrambling to get their business into China, what does that make them? Or us? One thing is for sure, if these two superpowers team up we're all having Kung Pow Stroganoff for din-din. But what are the folks on YouTube saying?
