BC Idonwanna sez: Put a body on Hall 23!
Yes, friends, as the latest installment of that extravaganza of dilettantism and privilege known as the Winter Olympics melts into the red sunset of a greenhouse-gas warmed Earth at Sochi, we bid farewell to a time when the Russian hockey team was not NHL Team B, Inc.; shed our last tears for cheesy voiceovers describing the romanticized sacrifice of professional athletes; and take our leave of a land where demonstrators are whipped by Cossacks in the streets, stray dogs are shot on sight, and gays are kept officially in the closet.
