The Czar has not been following the Honduran coup situation closely enough for his tastes. He wishes there was more coverage on it, and is ashamed to admit this caught him by surprise.

And the Czar assumes you have not been following it, either. So let him try to explain why the people turned against him.

—The President has assumed a near dictator-like attitude, with subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle oppression of dissenting attitudes and reporting.

—He has abused his constitutional authority by assuming powers and abilities not granted to him, or specifically against the intent of the constitution.

—He has alienated the populace by palling around with dangerous Marxists like Hugo Chavez, and even openly promoting some of those ideas.

—He has pressured the Congress to pass bills that were not properly promoted, without wording even finished, and prevented opposition groups from reading, reacting, or responding to it under the assumption that the majority of citizens would oppose it…effectively usurping responsible legislative due process.

—He has broken promise after promise, alienating his support group but dismissing their concerns to take on positions that are not appreciated or supported by either side.

If the reader is shocked and horrified by this abuse here in the US by our President, imagine how bad it must be in Honduras.

The Czar of Muscovy

Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
