is it me or does 'murica suck this year?

I dunno, we have five medals already (two gold, 3 bronze) and it's still early, but we're not doing well so far in skiing these games, which provided 8 medals in the Vancouver games.

The only Winter events we really ever have locked in are trick events, like snowboarding and maybe the new ski half-pipe/slope style. But the Canucks make for good competition there too.

holy fuck

Many foreigners who have made it to Sochi fall into three camps: experienced world travelers who aren't easily spooked; die-hard Olympic regulars who would travel to any host city; or corporate types and wealthier tourists who delegate travel logistics to others.

Japanese retiree Mitsuko Taguchi, 80, is in the first group. Having previously traveled to hotspots Afghanistan and Pakistan, she was unfazed by terror threats targeting the games.

But the expense of traveling to Sochi from the southern Japanese island of Kyushu made her wince.

Including hotel, flights and a $2,000 ticket to the opening ceremony and others for figure skating, she calculated the cost of her 5-night stay in Sochi at $18,000. Taguchi said that is four times what she spent at the 2012 London Games, where she found a cheap bed and breakfast, traveled on public transport and bought black-market tickets.

That midget is famous though. From calls for gun control and calls for the Washington Redskins to change their name in NBC broadcasts, now to taking on Russia's stance on LGBT and sucking up to Putin.

Amazing start is putting it mildly. We are up to 9 medals with 4G, 3S and 2B as of this morning.
