Al Gore will re-emerge, thanks to some unseasonably warm weather in Canada.

I’m just waiting for the liberals to talk about global warming because of their warm winter there in Vancouver. Of course the same liberals will ignore the severe winter in the eastern US when they bemoan the lack of snow at the winter olympics.

Vancouver has GOT to be one of the only places in North America experiencing this warmer-than-average weather.
Ma Nature has a warped sense of humor. ;-)

How many different versions of skiing downhill do they need?
Just plant some flags and whoever gets there first wins.
Winter Olympics are so boring in general.
OTOH so are most events in the Summer Olympics.

Winter Olympics always have a nasty vibe. Wasn't that that witch ice-skater took a hammer to her competitor's kneecaps or something?
wait till the drug test results start showing up.

Isn’t one female hockey player already out for failing testing?
Poor Nancy Kerrigan.

It is actually an El Nino year. We have been having a drier and warmer winter in the Puget Sound area as well. Pretty typical El Nino pattern, but I am sure the MSM won't mention this.
To: Allegra
We’re having lovely weather here in Oregon too. It was supposed to be nearly 60 degrees today.
To: Allegra
We hit 64 or so today here in san jose,, next few days should be that or warmer ..
and Yes, Mother Nature throws a mean curveball.. I hope spring training camp doesn’t get snowed out.. again..

I feel kind of sorry for Canada. They are doing their best to make a good show.

Very gracious of you, but you can be sure those bastards wouldn’t feel sorry for us if we were the ones having the problems.

The arctic cold air just hasn’t been able to keep it a few degrees cooler there at low levels, tho the mountains have snow on them above certain levels..
as to the MSM, just think where we would be without them? ;-)
