Irony, thou art really dead.

Posted by: almostinfamous on: November 11, 2009

Medvedev recalled that Kalashnikov had once said that if such a weapon had been created abroad, “the state would have paid much better for this work.”

The president said: “But you must not regret that you served our country, and the love of the whole nation is the assessment of your work.”

wonder if Mr medvedev applies a similar logic to his own fortune?

I recognize that within the Greatest Country ever Known, the work I have done would have resulted in much greater monetary reward if I had performed it for the upper 2% or the financial classes, rather than the lowest 10%.

Yes, I am feeling a bit bitter.

you will get your revenge, mr zombie… just you wait!
