Parallels
I can’t keep myself from drawing parallels.
When I saw on TV – in the news reporting Pr. Bush’s tour in the Louisiana – a Random Guy saying about Bush: “ I saw such care in his eyes!” I couldn’t stop thinking about Lenin.
I mean, probably Random Guy did see care in his President’s eyes. May be even there was care there, but the phrase itself was a staple description of Lenin in the Soviet iconography.
Kind of funny.

One positive efect of this mess is that I started feeling much better about my government.

(BTW, there was a campaign at work a few years ago to meet a specific goal, and someone came up with a series of signs promoting it. All the artwork was based on Soviet-era posters. Those of us old enough to recognize it for what is was were making sniggering comments, when the posters were suddenly removed. I never found out if some young graphic artist just liked the images or if it was a deliberate comment on the plan was was, possibly co-incidentally, expected to take 5 years to complete.)

But now I wonder what really happened in St. Petersburg?

You are always welcome. If you could know how many parallels with the old good Soviet propaganda I find now...
