Hillary and the Russian Foreign Minister: What New Deal Are They Cooking Up?

Hillary Clinton is currently in Dublin as she attempts to set a new world record in space (4 years),  Aside from sipping the local Guinness, she is also meeting with the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. (No word on whether he brought his dog.)

As we all know, nothing good happens when the current administration meets with their Russian counterparts. Remember when President Obama was caught on videotape assuring President Medvedev that after the election, he would have "more flexibility" (to give the Russians whatever they want).

Supposedly, Hillary's meeting with the Russian is to get Russia on board in taking some kind of drastic action if the Syrians begin to use chemical weapons on their people, which may be imminent.

But now that Obama has been reelected, what other deals are in the works with the Russians? Recently, I did a humorous (at least I think it was humorous) piece on us adopting the old Soviet National Anthem.

What other deals and changes could Hillary be cooking up with the Russkies?

How about changing the name of Obama's adopted hometown, Chicago,  to Obamagrad? It actually wouldn't be that hard. Take the Cubbies, for example. Sure, they would have to modify their uniforms, but it wouldn't be that drastic.

A couple of revisions might have to be made to Wrigley Field, however. Those Jesse Jackson Budweiser Bleachers would have to go. Now everybody will be slugging down vodka instead of that oh-so-passe beer.
What's more comforting while watching the Cubs lose 100 games next year than Russian vodka?

Sorry, Jesse. Oh, and Harry, you will have to go too. A statue of Lenin would be more appropriate. No problem. The Russians have hundreds of them in a warehouse somewhere. They can spare one until we commission a new one of our Great Leader (Obama).

But, of course, as previously stated, the singing of the Star Spangled Banner would be replaced by the Soviet National Anthem (the Russian version has the same melody with different words; no more dopey lyrics about Lenin. Now we can listen to lyrics about the Democratic party-the party of Obama.) A word of caution, however. The Soviet/Russian anthem is a bit longer than the Star Spangled Banner. This one won't end until the third inning. What the Hell; baseball needs some renovations. Why not watch  the game and listen to the National Anthem at the same time?

"And now, Ladies and Gentlemen. Please rise and join the Red Army Choir in singing our (new) National Anthem."

"Partiya Obama....."

( I can't wait to see them up in the broadcast booth singing, "Take me out to the ballgame" during the 7th inning stretch.)

"Buy me some peanuts and Crackerjacks....."

And good news for Cubs fans. In the next election, we'll just elect the Cubs as World Series champs. All those long-dead Cub fans in Chicago's cemeteries can help make it happen with their votes.

As for the cross-town White Sox, the natural thing to do would be to change their name to the Red Sox, but that name is already taken in Boston. No problem. The team in Boston changes its name to the....er....Kennedys. The hockey team, heretofore known as the Black Hawks, would become the Red Hawks. Never mind that there is no such thing as a Red Hawk Indian tribe. The new senator from Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren aka Little White Dove, isn't an Indian either. As for the Bears, they keep their name since it fits nicely with the proverbial Russian bear. The Bulls? I'll have to get back to you on that one.

As they say in Chi-Town, "Who needs the Olympics when you got the Russians?"
