Never knew that FOX viewers think nail polish is water-soluble. Don't they ever use it?

That was specifically the gynasts' outfits: those sparklies were from Swarovski.

I'll definitely remember next time I get a money beg for the Olympics.

They can't. We attended the 1996 Olympics; being there gives you an idea of how small a snippet you see on TV.

Why is Bo Dietl a thing? Or for that matter anything?

Seriously, this guy has been around the fringes of conservative media for over twenty years and I don't get it at all.

"(Don't fuck it up you dopes)" Given the proven ability of Democrats to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, I am going to be apprehensive as hell until this is all over.

Ditto. I'm buying a nice pillow for my desk. Just in case the election results go sour.

Excellent point, and I can't imagine doing any of that- you're a braver person than I. Also, I tried to upvote you but Disqus won't let me, because Disqus is dumb.

Why do people freak out about getting their ass kicked by a girl? Billionaires pay top dollar for that.

That's like pulling a full Monty, right? Just like the full Monty, if you got the balls to try it. And, the people wanting to be like Trump are worried about how they look?

I was brought up in the rigorous steel magnolia discipline. My mother, one of the toughest humans I know, would not leave the house looking tacky. And neither did I, when I was with her.

Many of us wear makeup and dress up, not for the pleasure of these troglodytes (bless their hearts), but to feel confident in stressful times, to face bankers, lenders, and the guy to whom we served lemonade and cookies and talked out of repossessing our car.

So I guess it really is "war paint", and as such is not to look feminine and dainty and available to a bunch of inbreds with slimy reptile brains who can make an expensive suit look cheap.

A woman competing in the Olympics has earned the right to wear or not wear anything she pleases, and these Fox wannabe silverbacks are the least of their concerns.

Be white, don't care about those who are not.

Marketing opportunity for Rolex right there.

Exactly the same bullshit that made the Seoul Olympics literally unwatchable. You'd hardly know there were other countries present. And guess what? - It was NBC. That was almost 30 years ago - I guess the new nitwits learned from the old nitwits.
