Weekly finale: Mariah Carey

Another week of "let's hate on the Russians" has come to an end, so it is time for the weekly musical finale.

That is all for me this week. I will return Monday with more blogging, and probably more talk about the whole Russian hacking distraction. Pray for something more interesting to happen over the weekend.
