Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev’s off-air comments that Russian Presidents are given a secret file about extraterrestrials living among us created much media interest. Most news reports claimed that Medvedev was simply joking. His apparent reference to the Men In Black movie as a source of information on a super secret agency that monitors extraterrestrials on Earth was commonly cited as key evidence that he was in fact joking. The reasoning is that no political leader would refer reporters to a comedy to clarify national policy. It has now emerged that Medvedev was not referring to the Men in Black comedy after all, but to a recent Russian television documentary titled “Men in Black” that reveals many details about an extensive cover up of extraterrestrial life visiting Earth.
However, a more accurate translation of what Medvedev actually said about the Men in Black phenomenon was: “You can receive more detailed information having watched the documentary film of the same name.” So Medvedev was referring to a Russian “documentary film” titled Men in Black, not the Hollywood blockbuster by the same name...
Russian Men In Black (MIB) documentary, a number of prominent UFO cases in Russia and the USA are discussed. The Roswell UFO crash is covered, along with a number of extraterrestrial abduction cases, and UFOs disabling nuclear weapons facilities. The documentary examines testimony that extraterrestrial bases have been established on Earth, and that some are in restricted US military areas with the full knowledge of the Pentagon. The documentary even goes on to seriously discuss President Eisenhower’s alleged meeting with extraterrestrials, where agreements were reached with some of the visitors giving them permission to take some of the Earth’s resources in exchange for advanced technology...

I am taking a break from it. I got to a long chapter about how Vronsky accidentally kills his racehorse and decided I needed a break from all those horrible people to read about other horrible people in 1940’s Berlin.
I am not sure if Tolstoy meant for his characters to be sympathetic or if I am actually supposed to hate all of them. The only mildly likeable one is Karenin and I think he is supposed to be the antagonist but I’m not sure.
At least I finally figured out why half the characters are being referred to as “prince” and “princess.” I was confused for a while because none of them appeared to be royalty.
The next one, silly. That was the question. What comes next?
We walked lower Manhattan from 23rd street down. My block had a huge residential complex with its own security. We didn’t encounter too many homeless. On the other hand, it’s always a privilege to volunteer with the kind of people who will give up a Saturday afternoon in 20-something degree weather to help out those less fortunate than themselves. I always come away touched.
My middle child is very into Russian literature. I can never figure out who I’m reading about because Russians use so many names for everyone.
Is it still football season?
I thought football season was finally over.
A little breakfast music, maybe?
I get 35.
I have a lot of stuffiness. Mrs. ArGee is suggesting I try one. I'm suggesting she try one first. I grew up in Florida and I can remember how much I hated getting water in my nose. Of course, that could have been because the water was chlorinated, but still - water in the nose = bad for me.
That is darling! Thanks for posting.
Good morning, y’all. Overcast.
Why do you torture yourself with Tolstoy? Aren’t there any applicable Cliff notes?
If you use a pH-adjusted solution, it doesn’t sting. I once tried a hypertonic saline solution and it felt like somebody drove an ice pick through my head.
Don’t plan on leaving home until you have fully drained your head. If you don’t do that, you’ll bend over to tie your shoelace and be standing in a puddle of fluid.
That’s what I got.
If that happens I'll just shout, "Oh, no! My water broke!!!
In the ensuing ruckus, I should be able to escape.
Off to feed the horse. SYL.
