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

At least to the female announcer it is. Whether anyone else agrees with her is a different story. I suspect it's more than a little of "*I* wouldn't have scored it that way."

Scotty agrees with her at least twice when couples rank after falls.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Preliminary triage ER nurse fail. No. My name is not Rita, or I'd have written that down. My handwriting is really clear, and you have a tone.

Secondary triage ER nurse win. She asked how my sister was doing.

For the Canadian guy, his coaches questioned his dedication to the sport because he was trying to form an internet business. The business was a huge success (Spam, though, so boo!) and he's still a top ranked skiier, so he had to carve his own path and go to Australia.

There was a lot of talk about him yesterday. He absolutely refuses to talk to the Canadian press, he refuses to talk about the nature of his company, and lots of reports who called him emotionless. He seems a little off.

I say, "Suck it, Australian internet spam guy."

The Olympics W& P is amusing.

Okay - something could pull me in . . . but so far not.

I used to get my hair cut by a then-member of the Canadian Olympic basketball team. While "boo! Hiss!" to the skier's choice of entrepreneurship, best to hang onto the day job.

New phone gets better coverage than the old one, by far. Normally I'd have to be on wifi in here. Team TMobile +1.

Of course, dilaudid+new OS+new keyboard=really slow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Secondary triage ER nurse win. She asked how my sister was doing.

If you're going to be in there all the time, you'd better become a regular! I mean really.
