In Sochi everything is beautiful. Sky blue, weather perfect, grass green...



Hundreds of atheletes injured as it is revealed that the snow has been literally sprayed onto sand dunes with lead based paint.

The artificial snow is ground up asbestos from old reactors. It has the benefit of not melting in the warm air.

It's one of the new events and he injured his hand or wrist during a practice run. He's pulling out to avoid injury so he can do his other events.

China is authoritarian the scary efficient way, whereas Russia is authoritarian in the corrupt and sloppy way. In China you get imprisoned or murdered if you speak against the government or if your department doesn't do its job well enough, whereas in Russia you only get imprisoned or murdered if you speak against the government.

Good article. I learned this Olympics is a mere 40 billion over budget (51 billion total now). How about that!

Apparently in that one article linked earlier with the corpse looking dude, the rumour is that 30% of the budget has been lost due to corruption. $15 Billion dollars gone.
