Forcing everybody to stand while they contemplate how everyone in America has total freedom to do whatever they want is kind of super American. That vicious public backlash against Gabby not holding a hand on her heart was another example of complete freedom of expression.

USA Today is already explaining how Rio police had no right to investigate making false statements to the police because murders are happening in the city. This enabling and coddling of elite sport stars is how a 32-year old ends up with zero impulse control or common decency. Some middle-aged cleaning lady making 2…

This USA Today story is a master class of how to bash Brazil while giving carte blanche to US athletes to do whatever. Shameful.

I don’t like this “he only told his mummy” spin.

It’s not a joke to lie about getting robbed at gunpoint by cops. You think that if Russian swimmers pulled that stunt in New York people would just chuckle?

This is sad and dark. But apart from the worst stuff, I’m struck by the fact that Kesha is not credited on “Right Round” in any way. How is it possible to sing the hook on a Number One song and not receive one dime? Labor laws guarantee a minimum wage for cleaning toilets. Astonishing that recording artists have zero…

He went to San Francisco to find a hot mobile game development team?? Dude needs to check the app charts - all the talent is on Helsinki-Stockholm axis.

The mix-up is the only reason we know who she is. Her parents should have spelled it out to her by now - she is the most famous runner-up in history because of Steve Harvey. She should be so grateful. She essentially stole a big part of winner’s thunder through no merit of her own. This is the biggest freebie ever…

TWO life insurance policies in the same calendar year as the killing. This is some noir shit right here.

Yeah, she has never been ranked top 10, so in that sense she is a non-entity. And now she is in the finals, which is awesome. It’s always great when somebody over 30 finally gets that big break. But no, she has never been a factor.

Welll.... Serena used to have that problem of crumbling under pressure. It resurfaced at the worst possible moment. Losing the chance of winning a calendar slam to a third-rate Italian non-entity must be hard to take. That was raw panic in the third set.

He was blessed to have a wife like that.

They are really leaning on Harley heavily - that was a bit surprising.
