    Col Douglas McGregor would make a better President than any of the present contenders

        I wouldn't follow McGregor into a bar if he was buying.

        • I guess an open window was too elegant of a solution.

              aw man, I was starting to enjoy Prigozhin's nuttiness....
              “He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

              • On BBC news now:

                https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66599733

                Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the passenger list of a plane which crashed in Russia, killing all 10 on board.

                He was believed to be on board the plane.

                Earlier, a Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported that the jet was shot down by air defences in Tver region, north of Moscow.

                Prigozhin led a failed mutiny against the Russian armed forces in June.

                  Maybe they were worried a fall from a window wouldn't do the trick, hence the fall from a much greater altitude.

                      Maybe the plane fell out of a window?

                        • Maybe Prigozhin is disappearing himself. Staging his death with a downed aircraft and a passenger manifest and nothing but charred remains in a place without much interest in examining his death (much less DNA confirmation) carefully.

                            I'm not sure I would either. But compared to the theatre of Clowns we have in our midst, he's at least coherent. None of the others are fit to hold office, any office anywhere. They're a joke, but strangely still got to be Presidents and Pm's

                              AFU announced that Robotyne has finally been taken. also, HUR operation destroyed a S-400 in Crimea, and secured the defection of a Mi-8 carrying spare Su-27/Su-30 parts.

                              the war grinds on.
                              There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."- Isaac Asimov
