Miracle on Ice Day

Twenty-eight years ago today we were reminded why sports looms so large in our world. Not because a simple thing like a win in a hockey game made any difference in the actual Cold War -- although beating the USSR at a sport on ICE, which they have a lot of, was sweeeeet -- but because sometimes the underdog wins. Sure, the race is usually to the swift and the contest to the strong, but not always. Sometimes the impossible happens and sometimes the universe manages to get things right and sometimes people who have no business achieving something manage to anyway.

In honor of the day, go find a commie (your local university campus is the best bet) and say to him, "Nyah, nyah, nyah."
