Boris
by Mary Jackson
I like to make a virtue of necessity. My May article is, of necessity, late, but has the virtue of incorporating the result of the recent election for Mayor of London. The winner, as all British and most American readers will know, was one Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson. Supporters and detractors alike know him simply as Boris. Like his predecessor, Ken Livingstone, he needs no surname. There is only one Boris. more...

You wrote that Stalin had no sense of humor. This in fact is not true. Nowadays Russian folklore is full of Stalin jokes. His humor has a distinctive quality: people often react by heart attack at his jokes. For example: There is a man - there are problems; no man - no problems.

The ethnic group Ken Livingstone is most biased against is whites. In London there has been a series of youths murdering other youths. The victims are mostly black and all the attackers have black, without exception. When asked about this problem, Livingstone said: "It's a lot of white kids stabbing other white kids." No protests followed -- inverting reality to smear whites is quite acceptable in the modern UK. Similarly, if he'd compared a white reporter to a concentration camp guard, there would have been no fuss. It's taken for granted that whites are evil.
