US on track to finally win Olympic medal count...

In this nutty world, where stability and security seems fleeting, its lemon refreshing to relax and admire the beautiful predictability of the winter Olympics.  That isn't a slam against the games, but rather a recognition that during these turbulent days, getting catetonic cheering on the straight line of Curling stones is better than booze.

Quick:  Since 1924, how many times has the US won the total winter Olympic medal count.  Being good AmeriKans, we thought the US must have won most, because America, F-YEAH.

Answer:  The US has only won the total medal count once, in 1936.  Once. That's right.  Once. Boo.

But this year, the US is on track to win the whole enchilada--the US is leading with 26 medals, Germany is gaining with 23.  

That's thrilling, because what else do we cheer these days, our national debt, F-YEAH.
