Heck, the Olympics are like that as well, a biennial triple toe loop of faith. We live in a world where people are killing each other over cartoons, so the fact that we can get together peacefully about anything -- even if includes ice dancing -- is reason to celebrate. Especially if Bode Miller is getting the first round.
If you aren't familiar with Miller's story by now, how come? The skier has been on so many magazine covers this winter, you would think he personally broke up Brad and Jen's marriage. He implied on "60 Minutes" that he has skied while drunk, but that was hardly the worst thing he has ever said. Here's what he told Newsweek about his sponsors.
"Look, a lot of the people involved with the U.S. Ski Team -- the people that I'm representing -- are unbelievable [expletive]. Rich, cocky, wicked conceited, super-right-wing Republicans. But because of my morals, my principles, I can't judge them for that. The things they've done for me warrant respect, and I'm trying to pay them back.''
Just imagine what he thinks about people who don't give him money.

I'd rather watch rioting than ice dancing.
"Shut-up and SKI !!!"
How noble of him. I'm glad to see that he upholds tolerance so earnestly.
LOL!!! He's proven he can't even do that the past few days. He's pulling his "I VANT TO BE ALONE" schtick...me thinks he'll have his wish sooner rather than later.
Typical celebrity......have an easy life, and still moan about it.
