I admit I cracked up when reading the article quickly and first seeing the parent's quoted question “Who thought this was a good idea?” and right under it seeing an advert starting with: "Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin..."

While checking out if the HS exists at all - I found alarming stuff.

Do you know how their Football team is named?
The Hornets.
Do you know which lifeform hornets attack?
Bees.
And do you also know which population is on the decline?
Bees again.

This is much bigger than we thought it is....

so this is the revolution where a monarchy and tyrannical regime got overthrown by the population or was that the american one?
Maybe its the one where the regime sent in the army to shut people up over prices and taxes and the army joined the protest instead.
But I think it may be the one where Lenin took the local tea party express and had his extremists hijack the anti government movement.
Whichever way you look at it these are the type of events yubba always seems to be cheerleading for, the wonderful world of yubbaish where he tries to complain about the things he supports

Ah the Russian Revolution, a time when the people rose up and stormed their leader's palace... to raid his wine cellar.

If a time when a bunch of drunk, angry and armed Russians formed a government isn't worth celebrating then I don't know what is...

If I were to equate the Bolshevik Revolution to any other, it would be the French Revolution in terms of the level of violence against civilians.
