The Russians, too, elect complete crackpots



One Russian politician said the event was not a meteor shower but a US weapons test, Russia's Interfax news agency reported.

Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the leader of the ultra-nationalist Liberal Democratic Party, was quoted as saying: "Meteors are falling. Those are not meteors, it is Americans testing their new weapon."

Sometimes democracy is quite scary.

Even limited to voting for governing officials, the results can be not just shocking and disgraceful but frightening.

On the other hand, it was that blockhead throwback to Imperial Germany, Hindenburg, who made Hitler Chancellor.
