The Notional Defenseman 1
Vladimir Putin. Colossal Badass.  A great compilation by the Atlantic of the craziest things Vlad has done over the past couple of years.  Drove an F-1 car? Check. Hunted shirtless in Siberia? Done. Cradled a puppy in his arms? Cakewalk. Rode lead dog with a Black Sea biker gang? You betcha. Sometimes, I wish the United States was more focused on similar strong-man cult of personality politics.  It would at least lead to more entertaining campaigns (read: FEATS OF STRENGTH!!), if not better government haha.
