It seems Vladimir Putin has decided to run for the Russian presidency for a second time.

The reports say, “There’s mounting tension between Medvedev and Putin. The view in Putin’s camp is that Medvedev has started behaving with too much arrogance and wants to challenge him. Putin is starting to doubt his loyalty.”

The Russian constitution allows the president to serve no more than two consecutive terms. Mr Putin stepped down in 2008 and handed the reins to Medvedev on the tacit understanding that he could come back next year if he wished.

I don’t know what all of the surprise is about, wasn’t this the idea in the first place. I remember he and Mr. Medvedev agreed on this plan when he left office. I’ll be glad to see him back in the news every day in place of the bore they have as president now.

Was surfing around the net and saw a headline that casino employees were forced to wear flee collars because the casino floor was infested by flees. Who the hell would go to this casino if they have this problem and why would the employees put up with this crap?

Here is waht the story says. workers at a casino in New Zealand’s largest city have been forced to wear flea collars to work in a bid to ward off fleas. The alarming report follows news of similar infestations forcing nurses at some Auckland hospitals to adopt a similar course of action in December – sparking a warning from health authorities against humans wearing the pet collars, which emit toxins, the New Zealand Herald reported today.

Employees at SkyCity Casino were spraying themselves with insect repellent and wearing pet flea collars around their ankles to ward off fleas, according to Unite Union national director Mike Treen.

He said staff had been complaining about infestations on the casino floor “for years” and that although the business had been undertaking a cleaning process, “it doesn’t seem to be working”. [Source]
