10. Stephen Colbert is a bigger draw in Vancouver than Ann Curry, Meredith Viera and Matt Lauer huddled like homeless people in front of a garbage can fire.
9. Scott Hamilton obviously does NOT watch
The Colbert Report.
8. All Bode Miller needed was to grow up a bit.
7. The awesomeness of Shaun White abides.
6. The Russian skating federation and Evgeni Plushenko may be the worst sore losers in the history of the games, but the U.S. obsession with "the medal count" shows that it's us who are still fighting the Cold War.
5. Sometimes there is freedom in losing. By not medaling, Johnny Weir was free to rise above his own sport.
4. Opening ceremonies will ALWAYS look and play like tributes to Leni Riefenstahl.
3. Somewhere in the new scoring system is a requirement that female solo figure skaters must display their crotches to the judges.

1. Halt! Or How I Learned to Stop Sneering and Love Watching Curling. Which way to the Bergen County Curling Club?
Labels: 2010 Olympics
Jill,
The nearest is in South Plainfield. Don't think that one's in Bergen County. But they might let you join anyway!!!
Don't you work down that way???
& demand that women's softball be reinstated as an Olympic sport.
that was great - espeically Leni Reifenstahl
In between hills covered with now, I saw - two - performances, the same skater in the short and long programs. During her long program, she started slowing down into her first minute, like a wind-up toy draining it's battery. I'm sure she worked hard to get there, but this was far from the main event I've enjoyed in the past. I waited for other performers, and waited in vain. Just more snow. Lots of snow and hills. I gave up. After seeing the results online, I no longer cared.
I live near Seattle and miss CBC. But like Jon Kyl said, I'm enjoying my unemployment checks so much, I'm squeezing them for rent and food instead of paying for FIOS. The Canadian coverage of Olympics past was always excellent. Fewer tape delays, more skaters, fewer commercials, so I can only imagine what we missed out on. Heckofa job, NBCee.
