Re: Sochi Olympics Results thread - SPOILERS

Uh, now that they've had the closing ceremonies, what "spoilers" are you expecting to see? Besides, not everyone in the world wants to avert their eyes from the murders committed by a government that takes its marching orders from the guy who hosted these games.

I don't know, the Russian people looked so happy on TV.

Okay, in response to the keening, here's something we can all support: relieving our Olympians of the tax burdens imposed by their victories. They've worked hard for us. The least we can do for them is not pick their pockets. Besides, it's not like our multi-trillion dollar federal government is going to miss the microscopic taxes paid by a tiny handful of Americans.

I was referring to the famous sequence on the Odessa steps in Eisenstein's brilliant Battleship Potemkin.
