The nerve — the absolute gall — of Vladimir Putin to announce a major shuffling of the top government posts just when I’ve taken a break from writing in order to get some personal business attended to! I mean . . . the cojones!!! It’s as though he knows how much I love the analysis and writing, and positively abhor the other stuff, and he’s doing this just to drive me crazy.

Well, okay, that’s delusional. He doesn’t know I exist (thank Heaven!). But I am weak-willed when it comes to putting aside the necessities and indulging in the pleasures. So, I’m going to take a break from my break, and I’ll be back here tomorrow with my comments on the latest from the Kremlin. I’ll just have to find the answer to the 25-hour day . . . which will be easier than finding the answer to the workings of Putin’s brain.

Holy crap! He demoted Nikolai Patrushev??!!! I mean, what the hell . . .

Just sayin’ . . .
