Unless you’re overly paranoid, you’re able to get through the day without fear of being killed in some random accident you have no way of knowing is going to happen. You know, like crossing the street without expecting a freakin’ city bus to come along and nearly wipe out with an SUV. But after watching this video, that’s all done with.

If there’s one stereotype that never needs to be put to rest, it’s that Russians drink a hell of a lot of vodka – because it’s true. In fact, they drink so much vodka, that even their stunts require a healthy dosage, just to pull off the trick. You know, unless you think this guy is sober…

To begin, it doesn’t matter how we got where we are. I really don’t care how often Obama wants to talk about who is to blame, but we are here now, we are screwed and we have to get out. YES, we know, McCain was not voted Miss Congeniality…we heard. And yes, no one really knows how to pronounce Ahmadinejad – we got it.
The sad part is, we sat ar… Click to read more

Last summer, Ben Gordon was offered a 5-year, $50M contract extension from the Chicago Bulls but whined that as the team’s leading scorer, that wasn’t enough.  Now its only a few weeks from camp and Gordon’s contract status is still in limbo.  He still thinks he deserves something similar to the $71M deal the Bulls recently gave to Luo… Click to read more

We all know that Russia has been f**king up in the last few months. This ridiculous business with Georgia during the Olympics (pretty convenient timing if you ask me), the angry comments made towards the NATO countries while discussing the cease fire and paranoia about anti-missile defenses in ex-soviet States has the whole country giving off a ‘mad… Click to read more

Georgian TV Reporter Shot By Sniper – Watch more free videos
Reporting from war-torn Georgia has its down sides. Namely, you get shot at while you’re doing the freakin’ news. I’m not saying we’re pu**ies or anything, but this is one of the reasons it’s better to run a website than do any actual journalism.… Click to read more

No, this is not a PR ploy by the WNBA to put women’s basketball back on the American tongue… but the sports world is a-buzz today with reports that American born, point guard Becky Hammon has opted to play for the Russian National Basketball team in the 2008 Olympic Games.

Seventeen-year-old Arthur Mkoyan plans on studying medicine at California State. And as valedictorian, with a “grade-point average above 4.0″ at Bullard High School in Fresno, California, that should be no problem. Problem is, he’s being deported.
No, he’s not Mexican. He’s Armenian. According to CNN, before coming… Click to read more

Russians will go to the polls on Saturday, March 2, to elect a new president. Unlike our suspenseful US elections, in Russia it is all but a foregone conclusion that Dmitry Medvedev will be the winner.
Why such a farce? While hardly anybody claims to “get” the Russian political system, it’s generally agreed that Putin’s power over the Russian public st… Click to read more
