    Russia's parliament has been in overdrive in recent weeks, working on legislation targeting free speech, women's heels, and the use of foreign words like 'hamburger.'

    Moscow — "Rubber stamps gone wild!"
    That is a loose translation of the jibe going around about Russia's hyperactive parliamentarians, who have been introducing new legislation faster than anyone can read it. Last week, before leaving on summer recess, the State Duma reportedly passed 60 new laws in just four hours.

        Don't expect to receive any daily reports from me on the Russia World Cup! I have no plans to be there.

        Of course, this could change if Jamaica qualifies!

            I wouldn't recommend it. For Euro 2012 the black English players asked their families not to go to the tournament. Based on reports of what Samba and Roberto Carlos encountered, it is fair to conclude that Russia is even worse.

              Hmmm...you had me going until you mentioned the possibility of frostbite. I had enough of that in Joburg!

              No thanks!
