It should be the thing never to mention unfairness of judging when defeated in a contest.
The information on a baby born to Vladimir Putin is false. I am going to ask people who have money to organize a contest on the best media rumor.
To have an inner life, to think, to juggle and leap, to become a tightrope walker in the world of ideas. To attack, to riposte, to refute, what a contest, what acclaim. To understand.

This bizarre contest continues until she's down to sucking on a mint-flavored toothpick. At this rate, her preference for dying over being fat could be a reality sooner than she thinks.
