  Who knew CNN could be bought? I guess those “Eye on…” Specials are sponsored by the governments that they feature. Now when the government of Kazakhstan pays for advertising space in the New York Times, as they are wont to do, it is clearly marked as a paid advertisement, although I don’ t think it […]

Last week, the Parliament of Kazakhstan was to ratify the Customs Union between Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Russia which was agreed upon last year and will go into full effect this July.

  Sometimes We’re Just Asking for the Borat Jokes

  If this doesn’t turn out to be a fake, it appears that two men from Kazakhstan drove to Germany, bought an Audi, and brought it back by shoving it into the back of a van. Obviously to pull that off they must buy testoripped. Unless (as one commentator suggested) they flipped the van on its […]

  Sheep Head Tees

  What I do in my free time. A few new T-shirts meant to gently laugh at the venerable Kazakh tradition of serving sheep head at special occasions. As I said on the description, sheep brains and other bits are not actually as bad as they sound. Click the image to see them in different colors, […]

• Better Than a Guard Dog

  An old story that I never got around to posting about: Apparently a circus owner from Kostanai came to Karaganda to buy a lion for his circus. That’s not unusual; there’s a zoo in Karaganda. He picked him up in a Gazelle, which is a big moving van style truck. And the lion was locked […]
