моторолу мою раздолбал Паша - и последний бастион пал и я завел таки себе смартфон, ввиду конвергенции цен старых стоков мобильных и сравнительно новых смартфонов,

"the state left behind by the USSR had one colossal advantage. It was a single party state, led by a figure rather in the old Afghan mould of the Emir Abdur Rahman – the ruthless but formidable, detested but feared Najibullah Khan. The West by contrast has set up a dreadfully ramshackle, bitterly divided “democracy”, with a presidency which is far too powerful in theory and far too weak in practice, and which is doomed to a potentially fatal crisis of legitimacy every five years – in other words, every time it holds presidential elections, which are invariably accompanied by highly credible accusations of massive rigging."

The truly famous have long understood that the only way to stay sane is to remember you aren’t the image others worship. (“Everyone wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant,” said Cary Grant.) But something funny has happened to fame. Thanks to the ease of publishing your thoughts and images online, almost everyone has a little. Yet most of us haven’t developed the corresponding fame-management skills. We’re stung by insults that wouldn’t register with George Clooney. Or we take our personas too seriously. More than once, I’ve caught myself thinking I ought to weigh in about a major news event, as if Twitter were waiting on tenterhooks for my views.
