Some bastards lost the US presidential election. Others won it. The peoples of the world – their food – watched this process, like the heroes of “Jurassic Park” watch a fight between dinosaurs, where both sides are representatives of the fauna hostile to us.

My speech at Richard Bland College, Petersburg, Va. March 20, 1985. “Mr. Chairman, esteemed hosts, ladies and gentlemen!

The 40th US President Ronald Reagan was branded Great Communicator. If the USSR had a national leader who deserved such a title it was, no doubt, Joseph Stalin. He recognized the power of PR full well and used it with magnificent dexterity. The military parade at Red Square on November 7th, 1941, is just an […]

The current US president called Trump supporters “garbage”. Ahead of Kamala Harris’s final campaign speech, Joe Biden gave her a huge, cheerfully grunting pig. Commenting on comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke, who called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” at Donald Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden in New York, Biden said: “The only garbage […]

Stand-up comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” at Madison Square Garden. In fact, harsh jokes in stand-up performances are commonplace, and Hinchcliffe’s words were taken out of context, but during the election season, it is precisely taking individual words out of context and twisting what was said that becomes almost […]
