You can't graduate at 15 and get into college unless you are actually smart. At least I hope one can't. :-)

She was a celebrated example of heroic youth during the Soviet years. In the years after the fall of the Soviet Union many of such legends were discovered to be just that, propaganda legends. I am not claiming that this story is definitely fake, but the odds of it being one, or being embellished, are quite high. It is…

As much as I'd like to see more SNL diversity, I think it is unfair to pass judgement, without seeing who they picked first and without knowing, how did the auditions go. For quality black comedy girl turn to Daily Show and see Jessica Williams.

Yeah, makes you miss her more interesting work, like Practical magic. :-)

Is it just me, or PETA has a bit of Westboro Baptist Church in them? They throw a fit only when it's a front page name?

Vogue had a grip on reality???

That's a recipe for agression. And war. I do not mean to be a prophet, but such gender disbalance historically leads to more aggressive foreign policy.

PETA are attention whores first and animal rights activists... fifth? There are scores of much better organizations representing and fighting for animal rights. PETA is in there for shock value and self promotion. Most of their budget goes for publicity, they do not shy from terrorist tactics (publishing people's…

I thought that vegans did not eat neither eggs, nor dairy, just nuts, seeds, fruits, veggies and tofu.

She has displayed loyalty and consideration for family, and kept calm while facing backlash and speculation. Yes, Weiner might not deserve that, but that is not…

I know! I am waiting for her to run for an elected position. She would be fantastic.

And where poverty is concerned, you can bet that there are additional factors to early deaths, besides wine.

I am totally ignoring all "wine is bad for you" stuff. Everything is bad for us, cause we all die. Might as well enjoy something. Cheers, ladies!

True. But they can be mixed with chardonnay on a transatlantic flight now and then. )))

Nadezhda Popova looked regal in older years too. Here is a blog in Russian, but with more pictures of the Night Witches. http://sadalskij.livejournal.com/1321814.html

Of course, what else.

There were rumors that she was either in a monastery or a mental institution. Before his inauguration last year she has not been seen for a few years. And she looked either drugged or in an advanced stage of alcoholism in the inauguration pictures.

Depends who you ask. Those who get more money from corruption or think that he provides stability, adore him. Those who had to taste lawlessness, lack of justice system, xenophobia and corruption, would beg to differ.
