I'll take my ball and go home

Alright, I've officially become disgusted by the Olympics - the Russians are upset and threatening to pull out, and the South Koreans have hired lawyers and are threatening to sue the short-track race official for disqualifying their athlete (Disqualifications for on-ice events are quite common in short-track). This is not what the Olympics are supposed to be.

Unfortunately, all of this started with the pairs figure skating controversy. Now, athletes that don't take home a gold medal feel the need to have the decision overturned administratively.

Bah - let the Russians and Koreans go home. The Olympics should be a competition with honor, humility, and pride in your accomplishments (no matter whether or not they garner you a medal).

While we're at it, send the professional athletes home as well.

Radio UserLand released the comment feature today. I'm now testing it out. Thanks! I'm sure the #1 request is for an indicator of how many comments each item has.

Everything appears to work great!

I'm sure the number two request involves a connection between the comments and the Spam-Free Mailto so that the weblog owner will be notified when a comment is added.
