Nailed It! Read, Comrades, and laugh, while you still can |
This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.)
I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention.
You are welcome to browse the list of truly exceptional articles I pinged to lately. Updated on February 10, 2009. on my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).
Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

Good article! My favorite Communist related joke:
How do you double the value of a Trabant (insert Prius nowadays)?
Fill the gas tank.
To: Reaganesque
**Good article! My favorite Communist related joke:**
told to me by a Russian who lived under old USSR
“We Pretend to WORK... and they PRETEND to PAY us!”

One of my old favorite Russian jokes came from when Gorbachev was in power, and the USSR experienced a serious vodka shortage.
2 guys hear the State liquor store is getting a supply of vodka, they go and run to get in the endless line.
One guy says “ I can’t stand these lines anymore-I am going to go kill Gorbachev!”
His friend says - “you can’t do that, he is protected by KGB, at best you will go to Gulag, or you might get shot!”
Nonetheless, his friend leaves. He figures he will never see him again.
About two hours later, his friend comes back to the line- “well, did you kill Gorbachev?” he asks him.
No, his buddy replys - “that line was longer than this one!”

The poor keep getting poorer — yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.America - the only country where the poor are fat.

Yakov Smirnoff is going to have to get all new material.
My favorite Russian joke is the "suitcase nukes". They built miniature nuclear bombs that would fit in a suitcase, and planned to smuggle them into the US and plant them in strategic locations. The plan had to be abandoned when it was discovered they didn't have any suitcases.

A man goes into a Soviet automobile dealer to buy a car. He picks out the options he wants and places the order for the car. The dealer says, “Okay, you can pick up this car in ten years.”
“Ten years? Morning or afternoon?”
“Why? What difference does that make?”
“Well, the plumber is coming in the morning.”

A few of my friends have been resurrecting old “Yakov Smirnoff” jokes ... but we’re applying them to the USA rather than USSR.

A Russkie spots a comrade exiting a meeting at the Kremlin, and stops to chat a moment.
First Russkie: So, comrade, how do things look for the motherland?
Second Russkie: The situation is hopeless, but not yet bad.
