Vlad Is Still Missing




The Ides of March are upon us and the President of the Russian Federation is still missing. As of tomorrow, there will have been no credible public appearance of Putin for 10 days. Very odd behavior for a man that seems to enjoy being in the public eye. The rumors are crazy. Things like...

There has been a coup. He is under house arrest. He has had a stroke. He has the flu. He is with his gymnast girlfriend awaiting the delivery of their bastard offspring. He is planning a conventional military attack on the Ukraine and Europe while in a "secured location". Check out The Daily Mail;  It goes on and on.

We should know something tomorrow and by the 18th at the latest. Tomorrow he has a high level meeting scheduled with the president of Kazakhstan and on the 18th there is supposed to be a very public celebration of the annexation of the Crimea in Moscow. If he doesn't show for that one, I think we can right him off as a past leader of the Russian Federation. 

And this may be unrelated, but there was a major fire in Moscow today at the Novodevichy monastery which is just 4 kilometers from the Kremlin. Interesting times eh?
