He writes that stuff.<br/><br/>As for "Vlad Kalashnikov", I don't know if that's Ames or not, but that column is most definitely not written by a Russian. The one DJP linked to, for example, assumes that the letter written by "a 14 year old girl" was actually written by a native Russian speaker (however bad their Russian has become). No Russian would make that mistake, since the Russian of the letter is quite clearly a translation from English. So that "14 y.o. girl" is actually a native English speaker, and "Vlad" is most certainly not a native Russian speaker.

Could be editor's omission. Or you could be right. The badass, scorched-earth, take-no-prisoners, no-holds-barred, teeth-crushing arrogance of that blog strikes me as typically American. I guess if it's written by a Russian, his having lived in the USA may explain it. Very entertaining. Never thought that I'd live long enough to witness something like that. American readers of EXILE must be popping Xanax with every click. Being on a receiving end of writing like that must be an entirely new and exteremely unpleasant experience for most Americans, to say the least. But then again, whether God blessed America or not, electing a complete dimwit - twice! - as their representative in the world, has got to have some consequences.
