Always nice to see, even if it doesn’t portend anything more significant. (The damage is visible through the Getty insiginia here.)

Update: Just because!

So Stalin went for older girls than Mo, still. neither were real men.

Somewhere in Baltimore sits a very angry spokesman for the city’s Department of Public Works, Robert Murrow. It’s awesome if they deface a Rush billboard, but defacing Mao, the biggest mass murderer the planet has ever seen, you’ve pissed off the wrong liberal.

On update…

Told for the first time, the astonishing story of the brutal dictator’s affair with an under-age schoolgirl…and how he made her pregnant.

hmmm… I wonder…

Oh, and that picture of Chairman Mao is stunning isn’t it? If he just lets his hair grow out a bit more he could have a Princess Leia type thing goin on. So commanding…

Oh I see the comparison. Chairman Moa bald as a cue ball. Josef Stallin graced with an incredible shock of hair. I would definitely deface the bald guy.

I’ll leave that one alone.

I like how the Getty Images description says the painting “mysteriously caught fire”.

If true, that would be even better.

I looked at the photos of Stalin and his lover, and my first thought was, “Stalin was gay?”.

Figures. Scratch a dictator, find a pervert (just Google the rumors about Hitler’s sex life.)

I think they already know what causes that.

Gutsy vandal.

I think I may be addicted to this website!

Anyway,
Stalin’s lover Lidia portrays a good case for birth control.

There was not much else to do in exile except drink, feud and fornicate, but Stalin had perfected all three pursuits.

So much so that he proceeded to screw millions out of their lives. And for years the far lefties have adored him and his ilk. And continue to do so today. Progressive. Digg that!

So, could the democracy movement still be alive in Red China?

And who knew Stalin was such a ladies man.
