Norway, another socialistic state, at the moment has more gold medals
than the USA, which has nine, the same as much smaller, population-wise,
as Canada.

Must be the fault of global warming, eh?

They probably care more about these sports.



Yeah, that must be it. A country with a population of under six million
fielded a hockey team that beat the highly paid U.S. National Hockey
League team because the Americans don't care enough about hockey. Oh,
and the Fins only came in third.

The 'highly paid' team was not a US National Hockey League team. It is a team comprised of players
from many (if not all) of the National Hockey League teams. They get together as a US Olympic Team
once every four years.

Of course, you knew that, eh?
