Overheard in Moscow:

Vladimir Putin

"I will miss this Mr. Snowden when he leaves Russia for good. I like to go out to the terminal where he is staying and make strange noises, like the creaking hinge, the banging pipe, and so on, when he is trying to sleep. Like most people in Russia, he does not get sleep much. Now I think when he goes to Cuba, we will have a going away party. Everyone will gather and say, "Yay," and then go home where they will have vodka. I like idea of Mr. Snowden being in Cuba. That way he can go out every day, look toward Washington, and wave his privates at Uncle Sam and African warrior President Mr. Obama. See? I even watch the Monty Python films. I told you truth. I am cool dude."
