I went and sat with my wife for the opening ceremony because I knew I had to. She cried. This Olympics is just a HUGE deal to her and all Russians and I knew it would be. I thought a good job was done for the most part on the opening ceremony. She laughed at the faux pas and I held fast with not saying anything and distracted the three year old male as best I could so she could watch the Bolshoi ballet event.
Mrs. M brought up BO not being there and asked why I thought that was. I had no immediate answer for that but we all know why. Those are good talking points for me to ask the DFL now that I am a DFL.
I awoke yesterday morning to find a huge Russian flag affixed to the wall in the living room. Most of you know who would have done that and you know it was not me. I have not said a word about it and have been pretending it's not even there.
Edit: That ring that did not open is America's ring according to Mr's M.(she is not correct) I got the middle finger as well and I didn't even say anything!!! This is going to be a long ten days of heavy duty nationalism. If Mrs. M is not careful, she will become pregnant again with another Merican child.;-) I expect actual pure gold and silver medals to be awarded as well but I have to save that one for later.

I have no use for the commercial propagandanza called the International Olympics. Sochi, London, Athens, Salt Lake City, Rio whatever...
This was not always my opinion. Athletic competition can be a great thing.
But the whole spectacle of the Olympics has morphed into something well beyond the myth of its humble origins. Something that I couldn't care a less about, right along with the Super Bowl, the Kardashians and Justin Bieber.
The corruption, grandiose mismanagement and local history of Sochi is just fertile ground for an additional layer of satire. But the basic Olympic farce is not exclusively a Russian invention.
Lest there be any doubt of my position on this, one can go and look at my posts regarding the London games.
Tahoe has Travis Ganong in Downhill/Super G, Julia Mancuso in all 4 alpine events and Marco Sullivan in Downhill. Course reports are exteremely positive. Who cares about luge or ice dancing, give me a break, everyone stop being American whiney pussies. Game on for my skiers!
What is up with Google? Massive gay propaganda tool. Just look at the banner for the occasion. #FucktheGoogle
Sochi Olympic Games is a huge international gamer convention, no? Is this a new Wi3 game? What is the fuss all about? Will it be in stores by Thanksgiving? I sure hope so.
William, your work brilliant as always. The Sochi 2014 image of the dog, so poignant, so sad, struck me so hard in the heart that emotion rises and tears still come to my eyes. Looking at that picture, I draw close to that Infinite Well of Sadness and Grief to which passings of my dear dogs (two last year) bring me, too. Often your images stir higher chakras -- especially the fifth and sixth, occasionally the second. This one opened the flood gates of the fourth chakra for me. Thank you.
Let me tell you the uttter and complete insantiy of spending $50 billion dollars for 2 weeks of skiing, skating, and a mumbo-jumbo of related sports - NOW, curling, I can see that, I can totally see that.....
Isn't it wonderful the American lemmings don't need to pick up a second language as all these Countries seem to protest in the only true dialect of freedom and democracy much like that disappearing one world reserve currency they carry around with them along with the signs?
Sorry WB7, the Jamestown Foundation is as credible as AIPAC (Zbig was once on their board of directors, need I say more?) after being hijacked to serve everybody else's interests but to those that founded it - Russian dissidents. A small challenge: I offer 1 oz Ag Philharmonics for every Russian dissident you find on their BoD today
I don't know about you, when I read something, I read it critically. This means I don't swallow what I read hook line and sinker. I parse through it and decide what my own view is. I rarely if ever agree with everything I read. If i did, I would be the village idiot...though as I have said before, I know I am a fool.
In this case, reading that article provides plenty of clues of who is angling for what in and around Sochi. Whether or not to believe it all is entirely up to the reader.
I'll tell you something else, 9 times out of 10, the designation "Foundation" is synonymous with "Agenda."

We're on the same page, Bill. I've been around for a while and am familiar with your thought-provoking ways of raising awareness by shedding light to the blind spots of history.
I felt obliged to lift the proverbial stop sign so that people don't start making their own suggestions (and end up giving a piece of their ass).

not sure everyone knows the story behind the second picture? the poisoning of stray dogs in and around Sochi. that pictures deserves better than a Nobel, or any Time cover i have seen. certainly among your top 10
I think the Obama is making a major political mistake NOT being there.
He could have distanced himself from Carter among taking the high road in a number of ways....
He could have made an attempt to portray himself as a director or leader rather than a corporate apparatchik

Did you see the Merkel look-a-like raising the Russian flag?
Boobsledding or sort of like that...
I think I just turned gay.
Not that there's anything wrong with that ;-)
There must be some explanation for that photo.
Please, don't tell me.
Olympic boobsledding? These XGames-inspired winter events are getting way out of hand.
ow my boobs!

It was just a sad looking image of a Sochi dog. I tightened it up to bring home the point.
William,
Is that one photo with Abe in it from "Battle in Outer Space". I've got a copy of that film.
Yes, 1959
What, no hot Russian babes?
Heh. Careful what you ask for lead salad.
