Is it baboonery militant or baboonery triumphant? Sometimes it is hard to tell.

This guy is great. Imagine a string quartet on the elevator or the doctor's office.

And now all Turkmenis must wear their underwear
on the outside of their clothers so the inspectors
can check that they are clean!

Hasn't the world had enough of these egotistical
know-it-all maniacs?

And thus ends the grand Turkmenistan musical tradition of "sampling".

Photo of 'Turkmenbashi' who remains back in the USSR.

He has already banned opera and ballet, describing them as "unnecessary".

Time for some exercise & reality for this schlub.

In a decree, Mr Niyazov said there was a need to protect Turkmen culture from "negative influences".

Hmmmmm... Sounds a lot like Canada, doesn't it?

This is one of the "stans" I never really noticed. Looking it up on a map, I see it is bordered by Iran, Afghanistan, Khazakstan, and Uzbekhistan. It is also mostly Muslim.

I had a friend just adopt some kids from Khazakstan, she said it is the most backwards place with no commodities for the people. Even their clothes and shoes fall apart.

bans recorded music

Well, that's one way to deal with the RIAA.
