My daughter's new middle name is Karina, so we go nuts every time her name is announced on DWTS. A better, or more accurate middle name or patronymic for my daughter would have been Andreva or something close to that, but we weren't that smart when we were filling out the birth certificate.

So, in order to diffuse the thread of the ugly left-wing hate speech just perculating below the surface, I think we can all agree that young Russian/Ukrainian women are, as a rule, smoking hot. Until they reach forty, and then any cycling American woman has them whooped.
