Disappearing Delyagin

Vladimir Putin isn't just a shady, house elf-looking dictator in the making. He's also, apparently, a magician. How else to explain the mysterious disappearance of one of his critics, Mikhail Delyagin, from a Russian talk show? Unless, of course, you believe the Kremlin digitally erased him from the broadcast. Which would actually go a long way toward explaining why Delyagin's disembodied legs still appear in one shot. Turns out Putin's government is keeping a "stop list" of people it doesn't like and, therefore, bans from appearing on all state-run television, which, in Russia, is just called "television." I'm sure nothing bad will come of this. Nothing bad at all. More details here.
