Borowitz heading for the gold in Olympics parodies.

Quote:

A member of the U.S. Olympic ski team was disqualified from competition today when it was learned that he did not have a sufficiently compelling human storyline to exploit on the NBC telecast of the worldwide sporting event.

John Wesley Powell

Finished reading Down the Great Unknown, Edward Dolnick’s current history of John Wesley Powell and company’s 1869 expedition down the Green and Colorado Rivers through the Grand Canyon, the first to accomplish the feat. A great read about something I knew nothing about. In a nutshell: Undaunted Courage meets
The Perfect Storm. Highly recommend it.
