The first hunter takes off running, but the second one pauses briefly to discard his hunting boots and put on running shoes. &#8220;Don’t waste so much time!&#8221; the first hunter [...]]]></description>

In the upside-down era of Barack Obama, the capitalists act like communists and the communists act like capitalists. Our multimillionaire president frowns on &#8220;millionaires and billionaires&#8221; and soaks them with higher taxes. But Russia loves them and even offers refugees of [...]]]></description>
