That blog post title was shamelessly lifted from Deadspin, who picked up the story (with a less-funny headline) from Pat’s Papers. Â I really hope it’s not a hoax, because it’s a great example of data display.
Check out the water consumption in the city of Edmonton during the Canada-US gold-medal hockey game:
This guy’s pretty funny. If you don’t have the patience for the full 2:29, use this link to skip to the 1:47 mark and watch the Youkilis impression.

We all know someone who still cheers for the Lions. It’s a tough thing to do these days. Show your support for your depressed fan. Go on to NFL.com and buy them an offical Detroit Lions Barf Bucket!  
The Olymipcs are over, and too many opinion writers and bloggers are feeling all warm and fuzzy about China. These writers have managed to ignore what was happening in China while they were busy oohing at the fireworks an aahing at the pomp and sighing at the telegenic smiles of the athletes. What really happened:
I know that some of you are reading this and thinking that I’m being unfairly judgmental of a different culture. Others are going to tell me that the US has its own civil and human rights problems, and I shouldn’t get involved.
I have a retort: This blog post, this tiniest of protests, this simple expression of opinion, is grounds for jail in China. So long as China prevents honest discussion, it will never be worthy of the Olympics.
If the Patriots lose on Sunday, I will hold the Boston Globe accountable. Some things should not be done!
I have deliberately avoided talking about Barry Bonds because I haven’t thought that he deserved noticing. Where there is hype, arguing that it is overhyped just contributes to the hype. Silence is your best weapon. Now, I’m ready to talk about Barry Bonds.
I don’t think he broke the record. He took steroids. They were against the rules. He cheated. You don’t get to cheat at a game and then claim that you won. It’s like the little kid who puts his pieces back on the checkerboard and claims they’ve been there the whole time. He can claim he’s better than you at checkers, but you know the real story.
Bond’s pretenders have a quick reply: “He’s innocent until proven guilty. He’s never tested positive.” Weak. I’ve never seen a videotape of Jeffrey Dahmer killing anyone, but I know that he killed them just the same. Bonds doesn’t get to pick which test proves him guilty. Read the grand jury testimony, look at the evidence, hell, look at his forehead. I don’t need a piss test to be convinced that he’s a cheater.
The Onion, of course, gets it right.
