Working for the Russians


Igor said he has no birth certificates or ssn for his seven children

Said he does not want the government to know about them

I wondered, why?

 

Then I remembered, the government does not want you to know about them

and wondered, why?

 

Control. Control. Control.

Sounds like MSNBC or CNN

 

Of course Facebook and Twitter know why

but I wonder,

who gives a shit because it is definitely not I.
