Quotation of the Day for August 27, 2014"Another time, [Ambassador Michael] McFaul went on Twitter to announce in Russian that he was headed to "Yoburg" for an event. He intended a slangy way of saying Yekaterinburg. Unfortunately, yob is the root of the verb for copulation and his tweet came off as "I am headed to Fucksville."' - David Remnick, from Letter from Moscow: Watching the Eclipse.
