Vlad's Dubious Friends.

I see President Putin is backing the dark horse again. This time last year it was Assad. Today it’s Sepp Blatter. He doesn’t exactly work at improving his reputation, does he? And if you read that I’ve died of plutonium poisoning, you’ll know why.

I thought of extending this post into one about how so much of the world is being run along similar lines to mediaeval Europe, and how mediaeval Europe was anything but the Romantic place that a lot of people seem to think it was.

Maybe another time. I think I’ll make one about pyramids and bloody tourists instead.
