To: null and void

When Stalin ruled the Soviet Union, Pravda announced a design contest for a statue to honor the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin [who was biracial btw]. The sketches poured in; Pushkin on horseback, Pushkin fighting the duel that killed him, Pushkin writing, and so on, until Pravda announced the winning design:

A statue of Stalin reading a poem by Pushkin.

I guess the Arizona Memorial will soon have an heroic statue of Obama heroically saluting the roster of the fallen. Won’t put it past the Anointed One.

“A statue of Stalin reading a poem by Pushkin.”

LOL, is that really true? I’ll have to read up on Pushkin, he sounds like an interesting man.

And you know what we Americans do to those false idols who erect statues of themselves...there will be no statues of false idols in OUR White House.
