A Note to the UN and to the IOC

Off To The Gulag With Them!

The President of Russia is not best pleased with those responsible for Russia's pathetic Olympic performance:

Finally, I cannot but agree with you that those in charge of preparing for these Olympics need to take their share of responsibility for the results. This is obvious. I think that those responsible, some of them at least, should take the brave decision to submit their resignations and step down. If they do not find within themselves the resolve to do so we will help them.

Go Brian Go!

USA! USA! USA!

aridog's two favourites came in 1 and 2 in today's Alpine Skiing event. The course was difficult and many top skiers fell and did not finish the run. Congratulations to Lindsey Vonn and Julia Mancuso for winning the USA's first ever Olympic Alpine medals.

Train Wreck, thy name is Slovakian Women's Hockey

Slovakia would have needed three touchdowns and at least one point-after to win the game.

Unfortunately, it was not a football game. It was a hockey game. The Canadian Women's Hockey Team beat the Slovakian team 18-0. With that win, Canada passed the old women's Olympic record, also set by Canada, of 16-0 against Japan.

Canada fell away as the game went on. They scored 7 in the first period, 6 in the second, and 5 in the third. Heads should roll.

Fay and I watched the game. It was one of those things from which you could not turn away.

It was good to see the home team win. But I am still pulling for the US.
