Even when Congress is functioning properly (which it isn't right now), it acts legislation to naturalize citizens only in exceptional circumstances, such as for humanitarian reasons or, especially when normal pathways to citizenship have been unavailable. Congress does not expedite citizenship...

Why are you so rude? And is this how you treat people offline? While everyone here appreciates the work you put into your many astute posts on rankings, seedings, and the like, I doubt there is anyone here who likes reading things such as what I have quoted above.

A certain former U.S. Ambassador to Belize has been mentoring her for a while now. :sekret:

Her hair gives new meaning to the term "highlight reel."

That is not a proper question for this forum.

🤔 Maybe Malinin could be persuaded to do both phases of the Team Event with watered-down content and just six or seven quads across two programs.

I agree with all of this. But I think Glenn can win the individual gold medal. I had not thought so until today.

I think that neither Chock & Bates nor Malinin will do both phases of the Team Event, so the U.S. will have to have one woman do both. To me, Glenn has a realistic chance of winning the Women's Gold Medal, but I think that she would be less likely than Liu or Levito to have four good skates in...

That may be what the author meant, but it isn't what she said. The subject of the subordinate clause is "an OSIC investigator." Beyond that, it's highly likely that the investigator either had the accuser's contact information or could have gotten it from the OSIC. Given what we know about the...

The part that baffles me is this bit in bold face: I am confident that Canada has some principle of due process requiring that an accused be advised of his accuser's identity. But to provide an accused with his accuser's contact information makes no sense at all, particularly given the nature...

Adam Siao Him Fa's surname is Siao Him Fa, not Siao. Calling him "Siao" is like calling Jennifer Janse van Rensburg "Janse." [/PEDANTIC]

💡 If the Shibutanis stay together and compete next season, they should skate to Alanis Morisette. It would demonstrate that they aren't dependent on Coldplay.

Back in the day, someone on FSU posted a link to a poorly acted YouTube video of the Shibutanis on vacation in Hawaii with Ross Miner. It was meant to convey a wholesome image.:yikes:

Note the link at the bottom to the previous post: “She was and remains the greatest figure skater in the history of women’s singles. A true angel from the world of figure skating. I’m still upset about what happened to her at the Beijing Olympics.” Cory Circelli on Kamila Valieva. Not even...

Kwan still hasn't announced her retirement. And it's all about Kwan, innit? :P
