Representative Snowe initially claimed to be "all for the little guy" when she first showed up on the political scene back in the '70's, but she soon "showed her true colors" in a total opposite direction --- she always seemed to be opposed to any and all efforts that would actually assist/benefit John Q. Public, while supporting everything profitable but damaging to environment and health --- lobbying/voting against truly-helpful proposals/initiatives, habitually ignoring letters and phone calls from citizens, being "pro-nuke" and "pro-megabiz" all the way, and so on --- what a big bunch of Winter Olympiacs!

XXII Olympic Winter Games

Sochi is the host of the 2014 Winter Olympics. Known for their controversiality surrounding homophobia, stray dogs, historical conspiracies, possibility of terrorism and suspiciously poor conditions for American journalists. Some athletes complain about icey snow, difficult tracks, warm weather etc, while many people are trying to "boycott" the Games, which would mean not watching them.

IMO part:
Russian people shouldn't be blaimed for the poor conditions and closed-mindedness in Sochi, but their politics and media. Focusing our anger on Russia as a whole and complaining what a shithole it is, proves how xenophobic we are and creates unwanted political tension. A sports event should be about athletes and their achievements, not about the place where it takes place.

If the backlash about the XXII Olympic Winter Games is so strong, I can only imagine what it was like in the USA during the 1936 Summer Olympics in Hitler Germany.

George Takei made a petition to move the XXII Olympic Winter Games to another city 6 months before them, although preparations for an Olympic event take years.

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?
