"Six Feet of Sunshine" won the gold! On internet streaming video, you can enjoy last night's gold medal victory wherein two outrageously fine California blonds defeated two outrageously fine Asian brunettes, each of the ladies all sweaty and wearing no more than, like, six square inches of clothing. Seriously, you should watch that. Hell, we were straight-up masturbating to it!

He claims that the protests that will occur during the run will be a strong statement, especially since it's the torch's only run in Northern America and its an election year. China’s "complicity in the genocide in Darfur" and the Sudan are the focus of his article. Let's dive in, shall we?
