With the gold medal and national pride already on the line, President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper have added to the friendly border rivalry by betting on the result.
The pair have wagered a case of beer on the outcome with the leader on the winning side buying the loser a little something to drown their sorrows, according to Harper’s office.
If Canada wins, Harper has to buy Obama a case of Yuengling beer. If the Americans win, Obama owes Harper a carton of Molson Canadian.
Dear Canada,
Please make sure they’re cold.
Thanks and congratulations!

well said.
Usually, I believe that cravings are sort of a way of your body communicating a need. For instance, when I crave meat I think my body must need iron or protein. When I crave orange juice, I think my body must need vitamin C. It’s not an exact science.
Anyway, for the past couple days, I have been craving pancakes. I am making today a breakfast for dinner day. I am not complaining. I love the whole restart your day at dinner aspect, but what does this craving mean? I think it may be the pilllowy texture that is luring me in.
Everyone runs around trying to find a place where they still serve breakfast because eating breakfast, even if it’s five o’clock in the afternoon, is a sign that the day has just begun and good things can still happen. Having lunch is like throwing in the towel.”

His response was blunt. “I don’t owe him s—. He really screwed my life up, is how I look at it.”
Wurzelbacher said, “McCain was trying to use me. I happened to be the face of middle Americans. It was a ploy.”
Wurzelbacher also told the room to lay off the extreme personal attacks on President Obama. He said people who question whether Obama was born in the United States or compare him to Hitler “belittle and set back” the conservative movement. “The birthers, the truthers — if people are trying to bunch them [with tea partiers], that would kill us. That just pushes away Democrats and independents who might come out for our cause otherwise.” He said he actually likes Obama, in some ways. “I think his ideology is un-American, but he’s one of the more honest politicians. At least he told us what he wanted to do.”

I’ve been working on watching The West Wing for the first time- I finished season 1, and I’m about a quarter into season 2.
I just ran the numbers and it appears that I’ve gotten a little teary at least once every 3-4 out of 10 episodes.
This is a very moving program.
