For the first time in decades, the U.S. skating team has no clear-cut Olympic medal contender.
While that is painfully true in the ladies skating, there are other disciplines in figure skating, too. The US currently boasts the reigning world champion in men's figure skating (Evan Lysacek) and the reigning silver medalists in ice dancing (Belbin and Agosto). They've been performing well this season, too: all three just won Skate America in their respective fields. We'll see Ol' Glory hoisted over that icy podium yet. #horses
There's Kim Yu Na of South Korea, the woman who's a good bet to win the Olympic gold. She's skating to a medley of James Bond music for her short program. #horses
I wonder if all the male horses stand on the perimeter and complain to each other about how the female horses walk away with a sneer when they go up behind them and start grinding awkwardly. And then stare down the girl horses while trying to figure out why they can't get a date. #horses
@J.D.Regent: I don't have qualms with it because they are talking about serial abusers and men with allegations from several different women. It isn't as if a guy gets accused once and than put on the list. #horses
BUT DO WE KNOW IF THE FOX WAS BORN IN AMERICA????? How can we be SURE??? That fox is a terrorist furriner, jumpin over American dogs like he owns the place and how do we know he even pays tax??!!
I have this strange admiration for Laura Bush and the way she manages to keep herself above and outside of the workings of her husband's cockamamie administration...yet she manages to appear loyal to him and his party as well. Everyone writes her off as this medicated airhead, but I couldn't disagree more: it takes a lot of cunning, presence and command of the English language to be that measured and precise. She is not vague, she is the master of vagueness.
It's somewhat similar to Dolly Parton's image as a dumb blonde. Yet Dolly, a brilliant songwriter, musician and business woman is neither dumb...nor blonde.
@CuffLinks: I tend to agree with that assessment. I've always been wary of dismissing her as an airhead, when in fact I think she's an extremely intelligent person. The fact that I disagree with their party's politics most of the time doesn't take away from that opinion.

Translated into Laura: This idea is made of super mingled with a currently popular movie star!
Translated into Sarah: This American post makes me a-think about a bag o' possums scramblin' like a jittery Democrat, dipped in healthy moose-covered James McAvoy, you betcha!
Translated into Lindsey: All you nice Jezebel women, this post is made of awesomesauce dipped in James McAvoy, or so you whores would like me to think?
Translated into Ann: This post is made of awesomesauce dipped in James McAvoy, who, as a disgusting foreigner, is responsible for Hitler killing the Jews.
I love this post. It's tres awesome. But I just don't understand the support of Laura Bush. Yes she seems like a nice lady. But lots of dictators have been married to "nice ladies". If anything Laura Bush receives a DEEP and I do mean DEEP side eye from me.
Also the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog is my favorite sentence of all time.
PS: Can we get one with prominent Democrats? Obama, Biden, Keith Olberman, Rachel Maddow?
Laura, no one has to respect her decision. She ran for Governor, she was elected, her constituents can certainly voice their displeasure if they wish. Last time I checked, political office in the US wasn't guaranteed by an infallible familial monarchy. Heheh. English: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. YouTube:
