We have a Supreme Court nominee that was accused of sexual assault.

He was vetted. The FBI investigated (cough) the 4300 allegations against him, referred those to the WH where they fully (cough) investigated him (cough) and now made it to his own 'Olympics'. He is a lifetime appointee to the supreme Court.

Dayum! Now he gets to vote on WOMEN'S RIGHTS!

I watched a bit of women's volleyball today but kept getting pissed about the bikini requirement thing. Wound up shutting it off.

They switched to the men’s event and the camera was ahead of the men, shooting backwards so it was facing them.

Then back to the women - and back to their backsides.

WTF???

Good catch - this kind of shit is so common, it slips under the radar. I'll ask our bike-racing daughter and boyfriend their thoughts when we see them tomorrow.

WTF is right.

...marijuana doesn’t come to mind. If you can win in your sport while being high on something that slows your reaction time down, relaxes the hell out of you and messes with your short term memory...you are one damn fine athlete a cut above all the sober people who are running at a 100%.
