I'm consitently stupid- Japher
I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

So, blame Brits (since you aren't a real nation at all, while you have her Majesty's general-governor to open your games for you), instead of Yankees.

I'm happy throwing Her Excellency The Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean CC, CMM, COM, CD, BA MA Mont, LLD(hc) Alb, LLD(hc) Man, LLD(hc) Osg, DLitt(hc) McGill, DLitt(hc) Monct, DA(hc) Ott, DIR(hc) Perugia, DUniv(hc) Lav, FRCPSC(hon) or the Queen under the bus for this.
It's interesting how a Russian is saying other people don't have a real state. Have you been to Russia, Serb? Your country barely has electricity. Don't talk to me about state. All of your technological achievements have been stolen from countries better than you. Russia is a giant, malnourished Xerox machine with an alcohol problem."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Tragedy strikes Rochette
The mother of Canadian figure skating champion and Olympic medal hopeful Joannie Rochette died suddenly in Vancouver Sunday morning, shortly after arriving to watch her daughter compete.
Canadian team officials said Therese Rochette passed away after being rushed to Vancouver General Hospital.
Cause of death has not been determined. She was 55.
Joannie Rochette was given the news by her father Normand and her coach Manon Perron at the Olympic Village Sunday morning.
Officials said Ms. Rochette intends to compete at the Olympics, despite the shock of her mother's death. The short program for women's figure skating begins Tuesday night at Pacific Coliseum. The free skate, after which medals are awarded, is scheduled for Thursday.
Ms. Rochette's parents had arrived Saturday from Montreal.
The skater is currently closeted with friends and family, sharing in the grief. She did not attend the draw for the women's short program Sunday morning.
Officials described her mood as focused and determined to compete.
Canadian chef de mission Nathalie Lambert choked with emotion as she expressed condolences to the Rochette family.
"It has actually just happened this morning," Ms. Lambert told reporters. "It's very emotional for me, and all of us, today."
Ms. Lambert asked members of the media to respect the privacy of Canada's Olympian athletes as they struggle with the emotional impact of Ms. Rochette's loss.
"The best way to support them is not to ask them questions," said Ms. Lambert.
If Ms. Rochette changes her mind and decides not to take part in the Olympics, that will be respected "and we will help her in every way we can."
The Rochette family is from the tiny town of Ile-Dupas, Que.
In her journal on Oct. 26, 2008, Rochette described her mother as an important critic of her skating.
"My mom, who was always close to me took more distance from my skating for the last couple of years,'' Rochette wrote in 2008. "I was missing her input and support as well as her approach to getting more and more solid with my elements.
"She has always been the most critical person about my skating, pushing me harder to improve.
"Even if it requires quite a big deal of humility at 22 to admit you need more of your mother, I expressed it and she drives from home to St-Leonard once a week to come to supervise with her unique eyes my training.''"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
