Moscow’s municipal elections are in two days, so the government is stepping up its efforts to get out the vote. The solution? More quotes from American political figures. Before, we had Thomas Jefferson. Today, George Will.
Yes, today, I stumbled upon a get-out-the-vote ad quoting George Will, “political observer.” Apparently, the man who finally took a stand against the creeping denimization of America is just the man Russia needs to rouse its sleeping civic muster.
( “Voting doesn’t determine the course of events. Voting determines who gets to determine the course of events.” )
