It’s not often I take requests, but after seeing Tanith Belbin’s lovely face, I gotta hand it to Jimmy B; he knows his babes. Belbin is a hottie – even for ice dancer standards – but what kind of name is Tanith???(And to Linda and SK: I tried with Dale, Jr., but I do not respond to threats.)
FM - Agreed. Thanks to Jimmy B. I never would have found her otherwise.
ReplyDeleteFM - BTW, it's nice to have you back.
ReplyDeleteAlthough she skated for the USA, she's actually a Canadian girl. And by the standards of Canada she and Shania Twain are considered 'plain.'
ReplyDeleteWe ship the below average gals to the States. They seem happy there.
;)
Schwiiiiiiiiiing!!!!
ReplyDeleteVox, come on dude!! I go to Canada alot! You've got to be joking right?! And you need to go to Austin or Tuscon if you want to see teh best!!!
ReplyDeleteVox - With all due respect, Haley Wickenhiser and Danielle Goyette (That's a MAN, baby!) are from Canada, and as my friend Brian would say, are "beat in the face."
ReplyDeleteSssteve - Well played.
vox - We're still pissed about Brian Adams. ;)
ReplyDeleteYe gods you Yanks sure get defensive. Nice to see that it's still easy to set the cat among the proverbial pigeons.
ReplyDeleteHeh-heh-heh...
And don't blame Canada as solely responsible for Bryan Adams. He was created as part of a botched NATO biochemical experiment called Operation: Bland Power Ballad. Which was intended to cripple the Soviet Army with middle of the road pop-rock.
So everyone's to blame.
And that cuts like a knife. ;)
Levin Backs Legislation to Beef-Up U.S. Olympic Hockey Team

Detroit Times Picayune
(Canton, MI) Following upon his successful labor bill amendment allowing Ice Dancer Tanith Belbin to join the U.S. Olympic team in Turin, Italy, Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) is backing legislation to fast-track citizenship to any athlete “capable of puttin’ a shine on the current image of U.S. athletics.”
Levin’s labor bill amendment shortens the residency requirement for ‘aliens of extraordinary ability’ from five to three years between the receipt of their green card and the date of their eligibility for naturalization. Under the then currrent law, Belbin would not have been eligible for naturalization until 2007.
The passage of the bill allowed for Belbin and her partner Ben Agosto to compete in ice dancing at this year’s Olympic games. Belbin and Agosto, or BelAgo as Prince refers to them, held the U.S.’s strongest hope for bringing back a medal in this competition. Levin now has some confidence after the pair’s silver medal performance, the first U.S. medal in the event in 30 years.
“This type of victory is political capital, and I plan on spending it,” boasted Levin as his glasses teetered on the end of his nose. “We need more legislation like this to bring the world’s greatest athletes to our rinks, to our fields, and to our courts,” bombasted Levin.
Senator Levin’s latest labor amendment “grants or forces U.S. citizenship upon current Detroit Red Wings now playing for their home countries in the Olympics.” The amendment would allow the athlete to stay throughout the next Olympic games and then be quietly ushered outside our borders. This could affect as many as eight Red Wing players, including Sweden’s Henrik Zetterberg and Nicholas Lindstrom, and Canada’s Kris Draper. And Levin wants the amendment passed quickly.
“Hey, the medal round’s comin’ up. Times a wastin’,” said Levin
The full Senate is expected to decide on the passage of this amendment by week’s end.
