Shitty Olympics, We Hardly Knew Ye
   All things must pass, but some things pass too quickly.  Two weeks and a few days have gone by, and the 2002 Winter Olympics are coming to an end today.  From an American snowboarding halfpipe 1-2-3 sweep to the controversy over the Canadian skaters and their deserved gold medal, who gave a fuck?
   This year's Olympics promised to be as shitty as ever, and boy did they deliver the goods: biathlon, cross country skiing, figure skating, ski jumping.  But it wasn't all bad.  Did you see the curling finals?  Of course, the top story remains those Canadians who were robbed of the gold and subsequently were awarded one.  So what's the problem, eh?  Stop talking about it, shitheads.
   At least we've got the gold medal hockey game coming.  Oh yeah, that's the stuff.  America.  Canada.  Guys beating the shit out of one another.  With any luck, the hatred fostered at today's final will extend to the NHL.  Perhaps, if we're lucky, from tomorrow's game onward every hockey game featuring Americans and Canadians will be a potential volcanic eruption of human blood and teeth unparalleled in NHL history.  Then again, we could get unlucky.  Really unlucky.  Like if ‘NSYNC were to sing the national anthem at the closing ceremonies.  Wait.  What?  Oh, shit.  Thank God the World Cup is a long three months away.
