Is he abdicating the throne on November 3rd ?
There goes the neighborhood.
***Obama had hinted at that and expressed his desire to have a platter named after him as well when he visited Delhi.***
What an ego!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nmae it the “Poopoo platter with a side of SHITtaki mushrooms”
The chef was also heard to mutter “what exactly are grits and greens?”
Seriously, what is this guy afraid of? If I had to live under that much security, I’d quit. Wonder what his secret service detail will be after his term?
It's called Birth Certificate Surprise, and was imported from Kenya.
So, considering Dear Leader’s visit will be after the Mid Term Elections and if the results end up being as predicted; and if as is being suggested by the Pundits, more a repudiation of the Community Agitator’s agenda, can we expect the main ingredient in said dish to be “Crow?” lol
The Imperial procession to the Cathedral was a lavish, picturesque sight. It was led by a Cossack squadron, the horsemen being dressed in red Circassian coats. Behind them, in an open carriage, travelled His Majesty the Tsar with the Heir Czarevich and the Grand Duke Alexei.
Then followed the Dowager Empress and the Tsarina travelling in a luxurious carriage drawn by four white horses.....a Postillion and Two Cossacks of the Guard standing on the footboard. The four Grand Duchesses road in a barouche drawn by a pair of noble steeds.
Later in the day there was a great reception in the Winter Palace. Her Majesty wore a blue velvet gown and a tiara headdress with a veil studded in pearls and diamonds. The ball was magnificent and crowded.
The next evening, there was an opera performance of Glinka's "A Life for the Tsar". The opulence of the evening dress was dazzling. Starring in the operatic performance were the leading ballerinas of the day, including Pavlova, and the greatest singers in all of Mother Russia.
The ensuing four days of celebration were a dense schedule of receptions, meetings and balls. Summing up his impression, Nicholas II wrote in his diary: "Thank Lord God who shed his grace upon Russia and upon us so that we could decently and joyously celebrate the days of the tercentenary of the Romanov's accession".
Then the Imperial Family started on a tour of Russian towns to trace the celebratory route taken by the first Romanov Tsar three centuries before. Gala events were staged at every stop on the journey.
The continuous lavish celebrations and sight-seeing along the way came to a climax when months later the Royal Family and its retinue arrived by train back to Moscow. There was a procession from the station to the Palace led by Nicholas astride a golden chestnut horse in full military regalia, followed by the brilliantly-garbed Court entourage. One side of the route was lined by troops, glamourous in their full dress uniforms, the other by crowds of cheering people.
On July 17, 1918, all the pomp and circumstances of the ages came to an abrupt end in the dank, dirty basement of the Ipatyev house in Yekaterinburg. The macabre events that took place there saw the annihilation of the Romanov family, its dynasty...along with its excesses and disregard for the abused subjects who had to pay the bills with the sweat of their brows for the imperial egos, caprices and lust for power down through the centuries.
Sic semper tyrannis.
