Taking out the rubbish

From the Telegraph:
Two-thirds of Russians want Vladimir Lenin to be removed from his Red Square mausoleum in central Moscow, a new poll has shown. 
That's heartening, though the poll doesn't say how many want the old monster dragged from his tomb, put on trial, and then buried in an unmarked grave where his followers can never find him.  Perhaps that would have been a bit too apt for Mr. Putin's tastes.

  1. Stake through his heart, don't forget. If they can find it.

    Or they could drag the old commie out and charge people a capitalist bucknik to have their pitcher took with him. "Here's me'n Martha in front of them-there gingerbread buildin's with the Christmas ornaments on top. Red Square there, I think they calls it. And here we are phortergraphed with Illich." That'd be enough to angry up the old monster in whichever circle of Hell he's living in these days, I imagine.

  2. We here in Finland can provide him a nice, cosy, standard size columbarium niche at Helsinki Crematorium with the standard 5*10 cm brass plaque. After all, he gave us the independence.

    But never bury him in Israel. A resurrection has once already happened there.

  3. I bet he'd make pretty good jerky by now. If you didn't mind a little sawdust.
