Among the security precautions at the Turin Games will be snipers and armed skiiers on the lookout for any terrorist threat. Damn, I’m definitely watching the Biathlon this year.
Italy has already spent $110M on security and the final bill could reach about $1 Billion. Yet, somehow, they couldn’t stop protestors from grabbing the Olympic torch.

You know that crap they show on ESPN after NFL Sunday Countdown? That’s figure skating, or ice dancing, or something. I don’t know, I get angry it’s on and quickly turn to Sunday Ticket. In any case, you now have a reason to watch ice dancing in the Winter Olympics and her name is Tanith Belbin. Thank you to Yay Sports for alerting us to how hot she is.
This is going to be a tough call because ice dancing is so incredibly lame that the hot chick factor might not be able to compensate for the pain or watching it. But, to give you an idea of how hot she is, there was actually a bill passed through the Senate and Congress to give Tanith United States citizenship so she could skate for us in Torino. Now, they may claim that it was her “extraordinary ability” and the pursuit of a gold medal for the U.S. but I can pretty much guarantee that Senator Carl Levin and Congressman Thaddeus McCotter don’t watch ice dancing either.
