Coulrophobia

So the EU and US sanctions are targeting the ideological clowns in Putin's circus, including Rogozin (mentioned on this blog yesterday) and Surkov (mentioned by AK here ). No financial bigshots, so no real pain - and the weirdo ideologues will probably take these measures against them as a compliment.

  1. Apparently "coulrophobia" was coined in the 1980s, and yet its etymology is already uncertain, according to some dictionaries.

    Surkov is proud of being sanctioned... "in the US, I'm only interested in Tupac Shakur, Allen Ginsberg, and Jackson Pollock."

  2. Alex K made a comment here but it's not showing up. I had hoped Blogspot would have improved since 2004.

  4. That should have been: "OK. so now it's appeared. So if you want to read the comments, you have to make a comment. Or something."

    Yeah, I thought Surkov et al, would brag about being sanctioned. On the other hand, an analyst on Twitter (can't remember who) pointed out that Surkov rarely bothers to comment publicly on such things, so secretly he's riled.
