Their condition is assessed as moderate. Another person was taken to hospital No. 40 in serious condition.

Unfortunately, the video "Who are you? Come on, goodbye", posted on the YouTube website under our nickname "Tolyshi Sado", which "blew up" the entire space of Russia, could not attract people's attention to the meykhana genre. Only the name became popular. In fact, this expression was used much earlier. By distributing this video, we tried not only to draw attention to the meykhana genre, but also to show that it is often a figment of the sick imagination of the crowd.

When Karl Marx wrote that “proletarians have no fatherland,” he did not proclaim loud slogans, but simply stated a fact that was quite obvious at that time. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution and bourgeois reforms, millions of people left their homes and went to foreign lands in search of work. Note that “foreign lands” meant not only other countries, but also other provinces of “their” state, the differences between which in some places remain quite significant to this day.

I have no doubt that there is more than one Trojan horse in the opposition camp, sent by the Kremlin comrades. Some accuse liberal protest leaders of double-dealing... Some are activists of the LGBT movement, with some kind of manic persistence trying to unfurl rainbow flags in front of photo lenses at all public events... But a very special place is occupied by Ksenia Sobchak, who, through the efforts of Kremlin PR specialists, has turned into one of the faces of protest. Feat No.

Likbez" The wives of presidential candidates of Barack Obama and Mitt Romni, Michelle and Ann are distinguished by everything: skin color, age, background and even manner of bake cookies.

Protest political activity in Vyatka gradually faded away. But this does not make it any easier for the authorities: it was replaced by popular riots, of which there have been four in our country over the past three and a half months. And the fourth - regarding the accident on September 22 - is at its apogee. “God forbid that we see a Russian rebellion—senseless and merciless,” feared Alexander Sergeevich in “The Captain’s Daughter.” Nothing happened.

The statement was initiated by a candidate who showed himself very clearly in the election television debates, Maxim Bronislavovich Gongalsky. He was joined by other election participants, and the collection of signatures continues. It is expected that in the coming hours the text of the Statement will arrive at the Central Exhibition Committee and will be published for general information in the media. I also received this text with an invitation to sign.

Despite the fantastic successes of modern medicine, it still has many opponents, with all its stem cells and tissue engineering. They frighten immature souls with a lot of horror stories, they say, “God forbid, a leg grows on your head.” This is exactly what happened to a patient at the Johns Hopkins University clinic: an ear grew on her arm. However, the process was completely controlled - this is how doctors received a ready-made organ for transplantation.

But experts are sure that the authorities still cannot be resolved by a simple ban on the authorities.

Return to the special project "Elections in the USA. Educational program" The number of polls measuring the popularity of Mitt Romney and Barack Obama is off the charts. What's most interesting is that they all name different winners. Take five recent polls : Gallup and Rasmussen have Romney in the lead, Rand/American Life and Reuters/Ipsos have Obama in the lead, IBD/TIPP have a tie. Don't worry that you can't understand - no one can understand it.

On October 15th in LiveJournal E.V. Limonova - an excellent post appeared; called "Bollot". I'm joining. And here's why.

When our group of lucky Open World program recipients was preparing to leave for the States, we were warned in every possible way: not to overdo it with food in the USA, as they feed you all sorts of garbage that makes your sides swell and your pants crack. Already at the Washington airport, I began to look with interest for those famous fat men who end up in funny stories about everyday life and morals. I didn’t find any fat people at the airport.
