Olympic Gold Medalist Evan Lysacek Is Dating Olympic Gold Medalist Nastia Liukin
According to the NY Daily News, Olympic gold medalist figure skater Evan Lysacek (the guy Putin hates) is dating Olympic gold medalist, gymnast Nastia Liukin.
All I can say is , well played, sir. Nastia is not only an amazing athlete, but an amazing looking athlete as well. If you don’t remember Nastia, she won the gold for women’s gymnastics all-around last summer in Beijing.
NBC Olympics Coverage Too Pro-American For NY Times
The NY Times’s Alessandra Stanley takes issue with NBC’s coverage of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. It’s just too damn pro-American!
Technology evolves, organizers add new sports — this year it’s ski cross — but NBC’s Olympic reportage, up close and way too personal, never seems to change. And in Vancouver the best exploits of what the network unfailingly refers to as “Team USA” only bring out the worst in network heavy breathing.
At a time when American athletes are amassing record numbers of medals, and NBC is drawing an impressive number of viewers, sports fans couldn’t ask for more fulsome, pro-American coverage — they could ask for a little less. NBC anchors, including those paid by the news division, glom onto the glamour and reflected glory of winsome champions, as per Matt Lauer’s no-boundaries embrace of the skier Lindsey Vonn on “Today” after she won the downhill race.
Yeah, Americans don’t want to hear about their fellow countrymen (or is it comrades now?) winning a bunch of gold medals. Screw that shit, tell us about the other countries instead.
NBC has been so intent on fellowship and the thrill of victory that it has neglected the thrill of an agonizing defeat, namely Russia’s. NBC paid only cursory attention to Russian bitterness over Yevgeny Plushenko losing the gold medal to the American Evan Lysacek, even after the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir V. Putin weighed in with neo-cold-war disdain. The 2014 games are to be held in Sochi, a Black Sea resort, and Russia will be the host. For viewers seeking an international playing field, CNN may be a better bet.
I don’t really know how much more they could have devoted to that story. Vladimir Putin bitching about America in a posturing cold war tone is certainly nothing new. I think the better part of the story is the part NBC gave the most coverage to. During his interview with Bob Costas, American gold medalist Evan Lysacek spoke about his win over the angry Russian. He wondered if Putin would allow him into the country to compete at the 2014 games being held in Russia.
Alessandra Stanley’s bitterness over the pro-America tone of the NBC coverage is typical of the left. Leftists don’t view America as anything special. If anything, it’s an embarrassment (or it was until Obama was elected). In their view America is no better than any other place in the world and coverage of the Olympics should reflect that.
Fortunately, the leftist view of America is a minority one. A sad, lonely, pathetic minority.

Left-Wingers Attack Tim Tebow Over Pro-Life Ad
Let me start by saying I’m a pro-choice Conservative. Not rabidly pro-choice, but I generally think it should be up to the woman. I do support a ban on late-term abortions and the like.
Having said that, I also have a tremendous respect for pro-life advocates. I completely understand where they’re coming. Even though I’m “pro-choice” I’m not “pro-abortion”. Unlike radical leftist groups I don’t think it’s something to be praised or encouraged. The fewer abortions we have in this country the better.
Which is why I don’t get why Tim Tebow and his family are coming under attack for the ad they plan to run during the Super Bowl. I haven’t seen the ad, but from what I understand it’s not some rabid anti-abortion ad. Tebow’s mom simply explains that doctors encouraged her to abort Tim, because they feared he would have birth defects due to the medication she was forced to take to treat a life threatening illness.
She refused and instead chose to leave it in God’s hands and hope for the best. One only needs to watch Tim Tebow play football to see how that decision turned out.
It seems like a pretty inspirational and hopeful message to me. I don’t see what the problem is. Is the left afraid it will discourage women from having abortions?
Why would you want women to have abortions?
If the ad makes women think a little bit harder about having an abortion, why is that a bad thing? It would not prevent the abortion, just maybe encourage a few extra minutes of thought.
The radical left and phony women’s groups like NOW have a sick fascination with abortions. They treat it like some kind of sick right of passage to womanhood.
This reminds me of the pro-life ad that ran during the presidential campaign about President Obama. It was one of the most powerful and inspiration ads I’ve ever seen, but radical leftist groups hated it.
I’m all about “choice” but I just don’t get why leftists are so opposed to any message that merely celebrates life.
Why is that such a threat? What are they afraid of?
Here’s Tim Tebow himself responding in a very classy way to the attacks:

WaPo: Tiger’s Mistresses Aren’t Diverse Enough
Leave it to lefty tool Eugene Robinson at the Washington Post to write the dumbest column to date about the Tiger Woods scandal. For leftists, one issue is central to all others no matter the situation or circumstance. That issue is of course “diversity”. Everything and I mean everything begins and ends with diversity on the far left.
Robinson says the most interesting and “disappointing” part of the Tiger Woods drama is how similar all his mistresses look.
This may be the most interesting aspect of the whole Tiger Woods story — and one of the most disappointing. He seems to have been bent on proving to himself that he could have any woman he wanted. But from the evidence, his aim wasn’t variety but some kind of validation.
I’m making a big assumption here that the attraction for Woods was mostly physical, but there’s no evidence thus far that he had a lot of time for deep conversation. If adultery is really about the power and satisfaction of conquest, Woods’s self-esteem was apparently only boosted by bedding the kind of woman he thought other men lusted after — the “Playmate of the Month” type that Hugh Hefner turned into the American gold standard.
But the world is full of beautiful women of all colors, shapes and sizes — some with short hair or almond eyes, some with broad noses, some with yellow or brown skin. Woods appears to have bought into an “official” standard of beauty that is so conventional as to be almost oppressive.
His taste in mistresses leaves the impression of a man who is, deep down, both insecure and image-conscious — a control freak even when he’s committing “transgressions.”
In other words, what in the hell is this black man doing sleeping with all these white women? Doesn’t he realize black and brown women need love too? Robinson is a big fat ass race baiter and always has been. You give him any story and he’ll find some way to make a racial issue out of it.
Tiger’s failure to maintain racial diversity while cheating is the bigger issue to the left than the cheating itself.
My best friend who’s white primarily dates Latino women. He thinks Latino women are the hottest. He’s been my best friend for close to 20 years and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t hate himself or hate being white — he just likes Latino women.
In Eugene Robinson’s world, cheating is bad, but politically incorrect cheating is even worse. It’s important to bang every race equally when committing adultery. It wouldn’t hurt to throw a few fat bitches into the mix as well — you know, in the name of diversity.

Audio: Tiger Woods Voicemail To Mistress
I had to laugh when I heard this. Could it possibly be any more damning? I really do feel bad for his wife and kid. His wife smoking hot — way hotter than his broad on the side.

TigerGate: Multiple Women Now Claim Affairs With Woods, Have Voicemails To Prove It
In light of the growing Tiger Woods scandal, several more women have now come forward claiming to have had sexual relationships with the golfer. What’s worse, they claim to have voicemails to prove it and are looking to sell them.
I don’t much give a damn about Tiger Woods or who he’s banging, but I do find it fascinating that he appears to be a serial cheater even though his wife is super hot. I guess when you’re a guy who literally has it all you just can’t help wanting a little bit more.
I just don’t understand why guys like Tiger bother getting married. If marrying a smoking hot Sports Illustrated model isn’t enough to stop you from eating at the buffet, why bother? It just doesn’t make any sense.

Tiger Woods Injured In Car Crash
From the AP:
Tiger Woods was injured in a car accident early Friday when his car struck a tree near his mansion in a gated waterfront community, authorities said.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the 33-year-old PGA star hit the hydrant and a tree after pulling out of his driveway in his 2009 Cadillac sports utility vehicle.
The patrol reported Woods’ injuries as serious, though Woods spokesman Glenn Greenspan said the golfer was treated at the hospital and released in good condition.
The patrol said alcohol was not involved, though the accident remains under investigation. No one else was in the car, patrol spokeswoman Kim Montes said.
Tiger is a good guy. I hope he has a speedy recovery.
