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...

They are so sweet!
Morning!
14 hours left on library book. + It’s raining. = I get to read all day. Yahoo!
Then, I get to cook kale harvested yesterday, make a mixed-veggie quiche, and enjoy. Doesn’t get any better.
What are we doing for Kathleen’s birthday?
Will check back later. Have a great day!
Lol! Thanks for a great beginning to the day!
Enjoy the book!
We are going to a church committee meeting most of the day for Kathleen’s (and James’s) birthday ;-).
If the days are getting longer now, how come I have less and less time?

“He knew I was in here and wanted to help me!”
No dude, the giant mustelid wanted something to eat.
How y’all? Back from my prayer group, and now I have to clean up.
That’s the cutest thing I’ve seen this year.
(I miss the Facebood thread, even though)
I think the real answer is that I have gotten a lot more proficient at frittering.
Maybe I’ll get the CD version, if the library has it. I wish they’d get “The Crimean War” on CD: it’s hard for me to read really big books, because I drop them on Kathleen.
Just let us know your progress, and phone your grandmother. We’ll get beer.
There, I’m #12 on the list for the CD, which is over 38 hours long. The catalog shows that half the copies are overdue!
The paper copy of the book could double as a murder weapon or doorstop. I got it on Kindle and I have been reading it for an hour every day this week and am only about 5 percent through it.
Tolstoy writes very interesting characters, but I don’t like any of them.
I’m all for a long, involved plot with lots of sitting around bickering over the dinner table, but if I don’t like any of the people, I won’t get through the first disk.
You should get The Crimean War by Orlando Figes. I read two of his other books about Russia which weren’t quite so large (and one was paperback).
These are the Russian upper class. They go out for every meal apparently.
Actually in the beginning the cook at their house quits, so maybe that is why they are always eating out. Also they drink at every meal and in their government offices.
