This is about the Winter Olympics!

Putin needs to cuddle a leopard while riding a bear down a ski jump. Bare-chested, of course.

With a falcon on his shoulder. Firing a grenade launcher. (His version of the biathlon.)
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Sounds like Russia's hotel industry is on a par with their national airline.

I remember once when I was leaving Seattle for Japan, on the parallel runway an Aeroflot plane was landing - and a tire blew up. Pretty loud.

I mentioned this later on to a Russian immigrant, and he said that when sitting on an Aeroflot flight, one should NOT sit near the head - when the plane banks, it may overflow into the aisle.

And Aeroflot often wouldn't divert or make an emergency landing until two of the plane's four engines failed.

As for corruption . . . it was right after the official fall of Communism that Russia had a whole gaggle of overnight billionaires; I guess it was nice to be KGB.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

When you have loads of foreign reporters and the eyes of the world desend on an single, isolated area, it behooves you to make sure that they have nothing worthwhile to report.

Which is really not that hard, when you consider the big picture.
They could have dialed down on fancy pants BS, focused on the details and clean up one town in plenty of time and no one would be all that wiser if other things got neglected in the rest of Russia.

At the least, stick the reporters in the decent hotels and leave the crappy, unfinished, sticky with semen ones for the tourist and fans.

No big deal. British Airways has done the same.

As I recall, they've done that a few times in twin engine planes, too.

Aren't the Rooskies so famous that the definition of doing that is named after their effort?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potemkin_village

Seems like all the old skills have been lost.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

I'm thinking that's probably just what they did.  We're seeing the "good" side.

And the East German judge gives you a 7.6....

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
