Had a good run as a reporter for Lebanon (PA) Daily News. Now subbing at a votech; Philly sports (Arsenal, tennis, cycling too), music (jam bands), pets (Aiko, Luna, Bean, Sycamore) & politics as mood strikes.

Is the story that they ran out of condoms or that they have condoms for athletes at the ready.

From @theathletic.com: The free condoms distributed inside the Olympic Village in Cortina were gone in a matter of days — three to be exact, according to an Italian news report. “They promised us more will arrive, but who knows when.” nyti.ms/4rTssEg
The Winter Olympics condom supply ran out in 3 days. Athletes have thoughts
According to Italian newspaper La Stampa, free condoms at the Winter Olympics ran out in just three days.

Broken News: Watch Olympic sports and you will realize that many of USA’s best athletes are immigrants.
Watch pro sports and the best American’s are predominantly people of color.

The NFL must suspend Steve Tisch immediately. It's mindblowing that we're now demanding a football league act against direct involvement with a child sex-trafficking ring, only because nothing and no one else will.

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.
