The Best of Pravda
Ah, there is a bit more of the tabloid Pravda I have come to love this week. Consider these rather purile headlines...
But that is just the vulgar tabloidism, this is the real deal:
Never to be overlooked by Pravda is America bashing
And finally there is the great delusion about Russia iteself.
Last time I checked, the Chinese economy made the Russian economy look like a pauper. Whose got the riches here?
Nice to know some things never change.

Someone in the government of Thailand had a penis enlargement operation
Britney Spears cannot wait to give birth to her baby and recover her shape

Looks like the moon will be crowded again. Programs of moon exploration were launched in the USA and in the USSR in the mid-sixties. In ten years the two countries put the flights to an end claiming that the programs do not have any practical value. However, the exploration of Venus, Mars and other distant celestial bodies continued although with no financial profits. What is the reason for revival of the interest in the Moon exploration?So much for the consiracy people that think we faked the moon landing, to the contrary we were scared off by aliens!
Scared of UFO
NASA went public with the results of its moon program in 1973 for the first time. It made a statement that all in all 25 astronauts came across UFO activities during their flights to the Moon.
Never to be overlooked by Pravda is America bashing
Watching news coverage of the refugees trying to enter the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans for safety from the approaching force-five Hurricane Katrina, I was incredulous how the people attempting to enter the stadium were being treated by the national guard troops and local police. The people were made to stand for hours outside in the awful Louisiana climate while they were admitted one or two adults at a time so they could be searched "for firearms and alcohol."We will not talk about what it took for me to enter their country, nor will we ask him what he thinks after someone flies a plane into the Kremlin or Hermitage.
And finally there is the great delusion about Russia iteself.
China takes advantage of the Russian riches
Last time I checked, the Chinese economy made the Russian economy look like a pauper. Whose got the riches here?
