Get a grip

The IOC is investigating Canada's gold-medal-winning women's hockey team for daring to have beer and cigars on the ice after they beat the U.S.

Grow up, get a grip, stop being such priggish puritans. Try to enjoy life.

The Canadian women earned their celebration. I didn't want them to win, but they did. Let them enjoy their party.

Update (3/1): Here's a send-up.

Conservative anti-Americanism

You thought it didn't exist? Ha!

Cause célèbre

Backing America?

Falling on his syringe

Those Greeks and Turks keep sending testosterone-laced supplements (scroll to middle of page) to Bulgaria:

The coach for Bulgarian middle-distance runner Daniela Yordanova said he was responsible for her positive doping test. Yordanova was banned Friday after she tested positive for testosterone June 13. "It was a big shock for me, but I should say I am fully responsible for Daniela's positive test," Dimitar Vasilev said. "I've always tried to buy medicines for her physical recovery from well-known companies. But last spring, I bought some medical goods from Greece and Turkey and most probably they caused the problem. Obviously, she consumed some contaminated food supplements."

Jeez, he couldn't come up with a better line of bullshit than to blame foreigners?

Incapable of embarrassment

Duhbya's a "good Christian man" because he's against abortion, but he has no concept of moral equality or the golden rule. And he's not the least bit concerned about that.

I'm looking for someone who can really restore honor and decency to the American government, and that has nothing whatsoever to do with sex in the White House.

Journey of harmony

The Chinese government wants everything about the coming Beijing Olympics to be nicey-nice, which is why they're putting down dissent by force in Tibet, invading Nepal to take the torch to the top of Everest, and trying to fling Darfur down the world's already well-used memory hole. Oh, yeah, and calling the Dalai Lama:

a jackal in Buddhist monk’s robes, an evil spirit with a human face and the heart of a beast...

Oom! Harmonious. Kim Jong Il will be so proud of his big brothers!
