I don't watch the Olympics, or skating, and don't care, but
my wife watches.  I was on the couch working wireless and
could hear the crowd's (and my wife's) reaction.  My wife
said the Canadian pair's performance was exceptional and
flawless, but the Eastern bloc voting put the Russian
pair's score above, even though the Russian pair messed
up a landing.

I like Canada.  They are our (USA) greatest ally, and while
I like our national anthem from a patriotic stance, "Oh,
Canada" is a beautiful song.
