OLigarch in Trouble

      Oh, Mr. Mikhail Khodorkovsky, you thought it was over between us? Not so fast.  Mr. Putin's nemesis has been charged with two murders that occurred 18 years ago.  Hmmmm.  Why now, these charges?  Mr. K must be dealt with..Hmmm?  Is it the price of oil, sliding south and giving Mr. Putin one, big headache?  Could be.   Maybe Mikhail's continuing campaign of vocal criticism of Russya's president is starting to wear thin in the Kremlin.  Vova's advisors are telling him to lash out at the self-exiled oligarch and put him on notice that enough is enough.  " After all, we don't control oil prices, that happens inLOndon.  Oh, Mikhail lives in LOndon.  Oh, he knows the oil business,too.  Oh, I put him in the Gulag for 10 years.  Oh, I forgot that,too.  But I did let him out after those ten years to care for his ailing mother(she died).   And 2 people died, somehow, and a bodyguard, too.  Oh, I'm so confused.   Quick, more vodka.  Ahhh, now I'm better.   Where were we?  Oh, yes.
     Now Mikhail, come home to Moscova to stand trial.. You can clear your name, and redeem your position among our Mother Russyan businessmen.  Chances of getting a fair trial are good:  any local lawyer would be happy to take your case-think notoriety, etc."
    " So, please come home, and stop all the bad-mouthing of me and my Kremlinistas."
