>It seems like Dave Barry shares tsuwm's view of the "resolution" of the figure-skating debacle.
actually®. he, as well as y'all, missed the salient point of my point; i.e. and to wit: what was the final result if you throw out the (allegedly) corrupted vote? not even Dick Buttons has dared to address this icy issue.

CANADA WON. CANADA WON. CANADA WON.
Oh, I am so proud. It lifts your heart to see your flag flying and the players singing the anthem. Oh, oh, and it's our first gold ever.
It was a great game. I was whooping and cheering all the way through. Like I'm EVER going to get to sleep now.
Hugs all around!!

I believe the Brits thanks primarily to a bunch of Scots won their first gold medal today in - of all things - Curling. What is Curling anyway? Sounds like a sport for hairdressers...
Regardless of my knowledge (or lack thereof) about the sport, CONGRAT ULATI ONS! to all residents of the old Dart!

No, it is quite an interesting sport Hev. A bit like pool but on ice with big ole stones. It looks banal but it takes a lot of strategy to play.
Yup, the Brits won it and on the LAST stone. Extremely tight game. They should be proud. Congrats to our British friends.

I hear now that the Russians are threatening to withdraw their team because they have been humiliated in the skating competition by the judging and the behind-the-scenes politics. :-|

What a game, eh? My husband, who didn't even really like hockey when I met him (blasphemy!), has been watching the Olympic hockey games with me and enjoying it. We both yelled so loud at the end of the game that the cat streaked out of the living room in terror. (Clearly this beast has no appreciation of a good hockey game!)  Yay Canada!!!!!!! And let's not forget, congratulations to the silver and bronze medalists, US and Sweden!

And could you believe the 13 penalties, Bean? Eight in one row, too. I though I would just about faint when the dang wistle would blow.
I am tremendously impressed with our ladies. They didn't flinch, didn't throw a tantrum or show any sign of agression whenever the tweeting whistle would blow. They just shrugged their shoulders and moved on to the penalty box. I am a little surprised that they had an U.S. referee in a Canada/U.S. game though. The ladies earned their gold.
I'm such a sap though. All the while I was so proud and happy for our ladies, I felt sorry for the U.S. ladies. They were crying and it was sad. I hope they feel better today. I know silver is not what you go out to get, but it is a proud thing nonetheless.
