Longevity of chancellor Angela Merkel in office compared to other world leaders

First proper snow in Kemerovo, coal-mining capital of Kuzbass in southwestern Siberia

@CowperKettle Are there 4 people on that bike, you think?

@Xanne No, I think it means "Ride number four"

I wasn't paying attention to the title, the graphics caught my eye

noöne seems to have noted that impute is a word.

at least some of the ngrams stuff is bad OCR (actually "input") and some of it is to do with impute

Putin's "election". An independent observer covertly recorded her discussion with a history teacher who tampered with votes, fraudulently raising the count for United Russia.

The history teacher, being caught, tries to bribe the observer and launches into a political discussion about how Putin is a great man who "made Russia rise up from its knees" (a stock phrase of Putin lovers).

@RegDwigнt - what do you think?

@FaheemMitha "Young pioneers trying to change the course of Russian history"

@CowperKettle Is that a quote? And if so, about who?

If it's about Lenin and his gang of thugs, it's very inaccurate.

@FaheemMitha It's a joke, the title of the photoshopped picture.

@CowperKettle What is the subject of the photoshopped picture?

The person in the black coat looks like Lenin to my inexpert eyes.

The Russian election was supposed to shore up Putin’s legitimacy. It achieved the opposite.

@FaheemMitha Yep, that's him ))

@CowperKettle one might say, by that criterion alone that it is a bit undemocratic to allow such long tenure.

@MattE.Эллен Did you inpute that from a keyboard?

@CowperKettle Marathon woman: "I used to be into running, but I kept spilling my wine."

@CowperKettle Putin’s election got minimal press attention (not really news, I guess). But Germany, now that’s news. Whatever are they to do without Merkel, what will the coalition look like, etc.
