Between that and the swimming in raw sewage I do not know how these Games are going on. I feel so bad for these athletes who have worked their whole lives for this moment and now have the choice of swimming in shit, getting Zika (a virus about which our “knowledge” changes almost daily), or give up the chance to live…

That Margaret Atwood quote is appropriate here because I laughed when I saw his face.

Like you’ve never tried to circumcise yourself.

I’ve known it to happen. You also have to keep in mind, it wasn’t just Vanessa. It was his kids too. It may have been the stability and routine of the whole family thing that kept him together.

I’m also tired of hearing people say “he’s the least violent person I’ve ever know; he’d never hurt anyone”, because the fact is, when he’s behind closed doors with his wife/girlfriend/date, he can be his real self.
