Mikhail Gorbachev, who as the last leader of the Soviet Union waged a losing battle to salvage a crumbling empire but produced extraordinary reforms that led to the end of the Cold War, has died at 91

Rest easy, you capering dandy. Few were as light on their feet, or their ballet slippers, however you want to look at it. Had you been born in Kentucky, instead of the frozen wastes of Commie Russia, you might have made a point guard with those quick feet and that lift. But prancing around in tights and make-up worked out for you, I suppose.
