There is time for everything and for everyone. What goes around comes around. Life is like a conveyor belt, once you you join the cohort, the journey is all yours but where you will end up depends on many internal as well as external factors. Life is a stage indeed...Luzhkov has played his part and now he should be more of a philantropist than a politician. Hierarchy overcomes competence and that is the true nature of work life within any form of organization...Whatever, the reason the President decision is final.

Luzhkov was a big player for a long time (his wife even more so). But even the big players sometimes make a wrong step. I mean, these things do happen, you know. .. . In America, when a person gets fired then usualy his beloved wife calls at once for the divorce. After the divorce case is finished she typically gets everything: the house, dog, car, children, and everything else, and the husband is accordingly ordered not to approach the wife and children closer than 254,14 meters (for otherwise he would be sentenced 10 years in prison). Hope that this will not happen to dear old Yury. I mean, his wife is so enourmously rich so that his only option is to stick strongly for her (I cheer for love to win over the misfortune).
