Miss Camren Bicondova helps Fyodor illustrate why, despite historically high levels of fascism here, it is still better than there.

Exhibit A:

My cousin Camren [I am 1/2 fake Russian, after all] dances to Pharrell Williams' "Happy"...







Exhibit B:

  Some Iranian kiddies do the same thing...






The difference? Miss Bicondova, an accomplished dancer and actress [You can see her on Fox's Gotham ] is celebrated for her talent and grace because she lives in a civilized nation while her Iranian counterparts were arrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced to be whipped 91 times in the streets of Tehran as if they were animals.

It matters not that the munificent mullahs "suspended" this barbaric sentence because of international outrage. The lesson to be learned is this: If you are going to try to live as a free man or woman in a medieval fascist theocracy, record yourself and hope you get enough Youtube views to keep your hide intact.

[My humblest appy polly loggies to Miss Bicondava for using her performance in my idiot blog, but your humble narrator is really feeling his oats today, kiddies.]
