My daughter R writes, "This is what I want to be like 40 years from now."

She also ran into a political test on Facebook and shared it with me, but I discovered it comes from this website. It tries to describe a person's politics in a more nuanced way. As it says on the site, "There's abundant evidence for the need of it. The old one-dimensional categories of 'right' and 'left', established for the seating arrangement of the French National Assembly of 1789, are overly simplistic for today's complex political landscape. For example, who are the 'conservatives' in today's Russia? Are they the unreconstructed Stalinists, or the reformers who have adopted the right-wing views of conservatives like Margaret Thatcher?"

What am I? A communist world-federalist bleeding-heart libertine; 83% collectivist, 0% authoritarian, 100% internationalist, -100% tribalist and 100% liberal. Which is just about right. If I were in Congress I'd have a 100 rating from the ADA and 0 from the NRA. It is fun to take the test and compare to your friends.

My friend Daniel Dern found this funny. So do I.

Back in the saddle again! I made #4 on HumorLabs.com list Top 5 list "Top 12 Entries in Russia's Wikipedia," explained thusly: "Russia is tired of Wikipedia besmirching its good name with things like the truth. So they are starting their own Wikipedia."
4. A new article on Soviet Sportswomen of the 1960s says they all WERE women.

I also made the honorable mention list (barely) with this:
Vladamir Putin's height now listed as 6-feet, 2-inches.

Which isn't fair, because Putin is a short man who is sensitive about his height, which makes this a great entry. Oh well. No. 1 on the list, from  Donald Johnson of Cincinnati was, admittedly, more funny than mine:
1. The statistics for Russian election results go all the way through 2024.

I also made another HumorLabs.com list (at the bottom).
Description: "Kim Kardashian appeared nude in a magazine  last week and these days, having nude published *voluntarily* is actually kind of groundbreaking.
      The Top 12 Comments About Kim Kardashian's Nude Photos"
12> "So that's why there's a worldwide shortage of silicon."

My honorable mention entry was:
"I'm not going to drink out of a champagne glass that's been there." (you have to have seen the pictures to get this one)
