Yeltsin’s Munchies
I miss the days of soft power in Russia. I miss the diplomacy, I miss the sense of humour wraught from international humiliation, I miss the days when a Russian president was actually supposed to leave office. Perhaps I just miss Boris Yeltsin. I would take that man’s red face and sporadic organ failure over Putin’s Moobs any day. There stood Russian president Boris Yeltsin, drunk and wearing only his underpants while he tried to hail a cab across from the White House. Through slurred speech, he explained to U.S. officials that he’d only wanted a pizza. This story is from a new book about Bill Clinton (THE CLINTON TAPES!!) coming out in a few weeks. The book is chalked full of little anacdotes about the Clinton...
Read MoreObama Finally Connects
First of all… I know. It’s been ages since I posted. I’d like to thank all my loyal readers (Mum, Dad, Natalie, Goo… Mark?) for returning. So, shit’s been going down for a while now. There is no longer going to be a federal election in Canada, the Americans will soon be voting on health care, Gordon Brown has a secret tax hike, something about missals, there are still a bunch of wars going on, Iran, North Korea, Somalia.

Polonoscopy is a site devoted to political fluff. While I do appreciate that there are important issues out there… with respect… eh… don’t really care. Not here anyway, not now, that is not what Polonoscopy is about. Fluff. It’s all about image and perception in politics. Rather than vote for someone based on a record of public service and commitment to the meaningful issues of the day, wouldn’t you rather vote for someone who’s personality seems similar if only slightly more impressive then your own? Of course, we all would.
