Sure, why not?

Yevgeny Dzhugashvii is suing a Russian newspaper for more than 9.5 million roubles, claiming that a recent story damaged the good name of his grandfather, Josef Stalin.

Yes, that Josef Stalin.

I say go for it, tovarich. If that bellicose, hunchbacked, wet-brained papist freakshow Pat Buchanan can argue for the rehabilitation of Adolf Hitler's reputation and still keep his MSNBC gig, then all bets are off.

Buchananananan is a butthole supreme. A butthole more to my liking (sometimes, but at least I never think he's a dolt) is Christopher Hitchens, who wrote a great rebuttal in Newsweek to Buchananananan's revisionist (re: got stuff wrong) WWII book that kind of forgives the Nazis their wee transgressions against humanity.

Yeah, ah loves me some Hitchens. I'm also envious of anybody who can write so well while remaining more or less constantly drunk.

I have a Hitchens story! I once held the door open for him, and he told me I had on nice shoes. He also was very drunk.
