    A quibble with the above write-up

    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

    Rachael Flatt should definitely make the women's figure skating team. She was the only woman to skate a flawless program at Skate America, and even beat out Kim Yu-Na, who is the tops in the world. Honestly, the Olympic gold is Yu-Na's to lose, so whoever the U.S. sends they'll have to pull out something miraculous to get the gold. #horses

    @rhymenoceros: She had a higher score in the long program than Kim Yu Na, but Yu Na still won by over 13 points (thanks to a huge lead in the short program), just to be clear.

    And Yu Na is not the only major contender for gold, even if she's a pretty good bet. There's also Miki Ando (Japan), Joannie Rochette (Canada) and Mao Asada (Japan), all of whom regularly top the scoreboard with huge scores beyond what Rachael usually gets. They'd all need to have a meltdown for Rachael to have a chance. Rachael's main weakness is her terrible component scores. She lacks the flair, flow and flexibility of most top skaters. That's just not something that can be fixed in a hurry. #horses

    @Kilotwat: I realize that Kim Yu-Na won the event, which is why I specified the long program versus overall.

    And despite how excellent the ladies that you named are, Kim Yu-Na still holds the record in short, free, and combined scores. She's also won her Grand Prix competitions by double digits.

    I also realize that Rachael has some big flaws...which is why I said she would have to pull off something miraculous to win the gold. Or medal, probably. #horses

    That Gaddafi snippet is comedy gold. I'm not even going to follow the link, because nuance might kill my buzz. #horses

    Wait, when she was raped she and her *14* year old sister were visiting said sister's husband? So much of the time, I just fucking hate human beings.

    Pardon my ignorance, but I had no idea that you could live that long with HIV in Africa. I thought that, for the most part, it was a pretty swift death sentence, since health care is pretty much non-existent in most of those countries.
