So I was wondering how people in other countries refer to the American president.
Russia: “Американский цирк” – “American circus” (used metonymically)

My Fist of Resistance is back at home after three months of lighting the way to the door of Democratic headquarters in Newtown CT.

I saw Bruce Springsteen at the very beginning of his career, before "Born to Run." And I saw him on Broadway a couple of years ago. Nothing in between. Not a fanatic, in other words.
Saw the movie yesterday. It's good, better than the reviews. It's not about the music though.

Even if this is a false positive -- #AVG and #Avast have some explaining to do.
Because when software starts flagging political/academic material as malicious, it is VERY GODDAMNED SUSPICIOUS.

And #AVG antivirus, owned by #Avast, is flagging the site as "malicious," which it is not from any technical standpoint. What gives, AVG and Avast? If you use these programs, please speak up.
