| Shit List: TOP 40 |
|
Frustrated at the lack of decisive movement on our official Shit
List, we decided this week to do something. Not much, but something.
On Wednesday, at 1 p.m. Pacific time, we placed a call to a Domino's
Pizza shop in downtown Los Angeles. |
| Gorilla Journalism: A CALL TO ARMS |
| 11:52 a.m. Leningradsky Prospekt. A trolleybus drifts by a young
man and woman on the sitting on the edge of a concrete gate. Above
them hangs a signs that reads, "Medical Examinations." The man wears
a gorilla suit; the two synchronize watches. |
| New McMud Slides Into Success |
| (AP) - MOSCOW The lines that form outside of the McDonald's restaurant
in Moscow's Pushkin Square an hour before it opens for lunch say it
all: Da, McMud. "We can barely keep up with the demand," said Ray
Tillis, regional East European director for McDonald's. "The McMud
is bringing back crowds that we haven't seen since we first opened
here a decade ago." |
| A Real Journalistic Whore |
| It was way past deadline here at the eXile offices this past Wednesday
night when we realized we were in a bind. We still had holes in the
paper, but no one in the office had any ideas left in his head. Lots
of staring blankly at computer screens going on, lots of "just one
beer" beers turning steadily into five or six, lots of un-laid out
pages piling up on our designer's desktop. The holes needed to be
filled, but how? The situation seemed hopeless—until, late in the
evening, we came up with a plan. We called a whore. |
| Neo-Liberal Revanchism Strikes! |
| Exile readers may recall our running feud with neo-liberal toady
Michael McFaul, who once tried to get us banned from the influential
Johnson's Russia List. During the late Yeltsin era, McFaul, a top
Carnegie Endowment analyst, Stanford professor and Clinton Administration
propagandist, argued that the now-discredited "young reformers" were
leading Russia into the Bright Socialist (oops, we meant Free-Market/Democratic)
Future, and anyone who disagreed was either a "pessimist" or a communist. |
| eGore.ru |
| Hey there eXholes! You might know me as the one half of the famous
and powerful "Gore-Chernomyrdin Commission", boy what memories those
were! Or you may know me as the inventor of the Internet. Well, I
wouldn't go quite that far myself. In my new column for the eXile,
I've decided to combine my talents as both Russia expert and Internet
inventor to create a totally new, useful, and fun column, or what
I call a "tool", to help you navigate the Information Superhighway
right here in Russia. |
