Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Next he'll say all Men's champions need mullets too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

You know, its a stone miracle Ryan isn't referred to as TOW 'round these parts.

I cannot BELIEVE we didn't think of this.

Isnt' it gorgeous? I never tire of going there. It is everything it should be. There is a panorama on the site that I didn't have the patience to let load.

I cannot BELIEVE we didn't think of this.

Scary, right? It's almost as if we were being, somehow, you know... tactful ?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now White Collar is right by my old office!

How very unlike us.

“Not dead yet!”

Oh, I'm adoring this little Australian girl. Her elements aren't up to the level of some of the other skaters in terms of difficulty, but she's got lovely technique, especially on her spirals and spins. She's so striking, too- half Chinese, half African-American.

“Not dead yet!”

Okay, that just gave me a serious Olympic happy. Cheltzie Lee, the Australian girl just scored a 52.16, well under what the top ladies are going to get, but she's just absolutely over the moon because it was a personal best for her.

And that's considering she only found out on February 2, that she would even be attending the games, since the Israeli Skating Federation turned down an invitation for their skater, opening up a spot. So Cheltzie comes in at the last minute and gets to live the Olympic dream.

I'm all glowy and happy now.

Thrive to spite them

It was her personal best by 5 points! I think that's wonderful.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Pfft. Have you seen him? [link] His adorableness resists innuendo!
