Quite a powerful editorial from Bloomberg, castigating the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for giving the patina of Olympic approval to Russia’s draconian anti-gay law. But Bloomberg doesn’t stop there – they implicate some of the top Olympic sponsors in the anti-gay cover-up, including Coke, Visa and McDonald’s. According to Bloomberg, these are now an “officially anti-gay Olympics,” and any company sponsoring the Olympics is sponsoring anti-gay hate.

Sixty-eight years ago today one of the most remarkable conversations of the nuclear took place. Gen. Leslie Groves, head of the Manhattan Project (with J. Robert Oppenheimer, left), had received a telex the day before from Los Alamos, as scientists asked for information on those reports from Japan. Groves responded that they were nothing but "a hoax" or "propaganda." The top radiation expert at Los Alamos also used the word "hoax." Knowing that the press would be seeking his official response, Groves called Lt. Col. Charles Rea, a doctor at Oak Ridge hospital (part of the bomb project). According to the official transcript, Rea called the reports of death-by-radiation "kind of crazy" and Groves joked, "Of course, it's crazy--a doctor like me can tell that."
