Well, more Olympic coments:
Belarus beat Sweden in the quarterfinals of the hockey tournament. If you have no idea how big an upset this is, I won't carry on here attemtpting to explain except to say that it was stupefyingly astounding. I'm sort of pissed off, though, because not only do I not really understand how a team that's 1-3 can play for a medal over a team that is 3-1, but that's the way it's set up. Also, as fans, we've been robbed of another epic matchup between Sweden and Canada for the right to play for the gold medal. Instead, unless lightning strikes twice (which it won't), Canda will dance through with a convincing win. We do get to see another epic USA vs. Russia contest in the other semifinal, though.

I just watched the 1,500 meter short-track final "live" on NBC (Never Broadcasting Correctly) and the Korean winner of the race was "disqualified" for an illegal move on the last turn which didn't look all that bad. It was kind of like one of those phantom calls in a basketball game when the fouled player draws a foul off very little contact. So, USA short track stud and local hero Apollo Anton Ohno, in finishing second, "wins" the gold. Ummmm... maybe it's not only figure skating which isn't entirely on the up-and-up in these Olympics.
