Russian doping? Sure. But for curling?

by Angela K. Durden

We now have proof the Russians have never, could never, and won't ever rule the world. Sure, the Russkis can invade their neighbors. Hell, they do it all the time. They rattle sabers with style. And when their ego needs stroking, they love to impress with their tanks rolling in front of the Kremlin on their way to a takeover.

Even former President Obama opined about the Russians sometime in 2014 at one of those very important multi-national conferences where very important things are discussed, like which whiskey to serve after dinner and which pen to use to make the B and the O. He called them a regional power.

In that comment I had to agree with President O. And the Russian doping scandal proves Barack was correct. Sure, everybody dopes. And by everybody I don't mean everybody; I mean every nation has some folks who cheat using drugs. I can understand why athletes from countries featuring dictators and the like do it. Hey, win or lose and die, right? And in America, it's all about the massive dollars from endorsements, right?

Of course, right.

But that isn't the case with Russia. Nope. Their doping is everywhere all the time, therefore it is all about their little ego needing propping. I know this for a fact because of their most recent doping scandal. Here is the headline from the New York Times.

Now, look. I know that those who curl have heard all the jokes. And I know they are tired of hearing them. But honestly, how hard can that sport be that a performance enhancement drug must be deployed to win?

Flat surface of ice.
No jumping. No running.
Extremely slow speed of the projectile.
They use brooms to sweep the ice for goodness sake.
On the ice, they wear shoes that do not have blades.
They can brew a pot of tea and serve it before the stone leaves the hack.

Exactly!

Even the Wikipedia page on curling still needs validating, that's how not difficult it is. Which proves my point: That Russia has a hungry, bottomless-pit of an ego and if we remember that, we can totally see them for what they are as told to us in a gushingly worshipful, eight minute segment on the wit of Her President Obama by that darling of the  P-HWPCDLRSFC* MSM. Yes, Rachel Maddow reported that Obama said the Russians are simply —

"Just a gnat on an elephant's backside." 

Puts all the collusion crap in perspective, doesn't it? See who they colluded with? Another "regional power" called Clinton. And that tells us all we need to know about who should be going to prison.
