Sasha the Hockey Player :-)

We've heard plenty about the needs of Joe the Plumber, but which candidate best represents the interests of Sasha the Hockey Player?

Alexander Semin was talking with a Russian reporter after practice one day last week when the subject turned to politics.

Semin wanted to know who is going to win the upcoming presidential election. When told Sen. Barack Obama is the favorite, Semin responded, "I heard he's going to raise my taxes."

And then he continued, "what's so special... if you start promoting 'dead wood'... @#$!^", the interpreter couldn't follow... :-)
