Dan Wetzel of Yahoo wrote a few stories around Sochi that explicitly said the IOC shot down Chicago’s 2016 bid because the vast majority of venues and facilities were already built. Apparently their demands included a new five-star hotel.

Gandhi better get his shit together this time. The wolf in sheep’s clothing gimmick won’t work on me anymore. Dick.

I am getting tired of people posting my password on the interwebs like this...

9. Hear an opinion or worldview different from your own, and actually listen to it without interrupting or losing your damn mind.

I enjoyed this and welcome aboard! As you will see on here, most of us can't handle changing our damn underwear lol, God Forbid we come on here and don't see Saint Tyler!

The fact that a guy who perpetrated one of the worst terrorist attacks in modern European history could successfully evade capture in a European capital for this long is a fucking travesty, and speaks volumes about the depth of the problem Europe has created for itself.

I say this as the daughter of a conscientious objector who fought in court for his right not to go to war (he was the son of pastor, the…
