While most swimmers are content just to pee in the pool,

others piss on the entire sport.

RIO DE JANEIRO — Soon after the first news media reports surfaced Sunday morning of an armed assault on four American swimmers, the athletes were interviewed at the United States Olympic team’s hospitality house by State Department officials, national swim team officials and Olympic officials. They all agreed that the swimmers should avoid further attention and that the United States Olympic Committee would soon put out a statement.
    But Ryan Lochte, a 12-time medal winner, left the hospitality house and walked across the street to Ipanema Beach, where he gave a lurid interview to NBC, describing a gun-to-head holdup by men identifying themselves as police officers.

Comparing Hillary Clinton with Donald Trump, "both have astonishing flaws," and "neither is clearly better than the other," writes Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, in a column on the CatholicPhilly.com website.

Calling himself a "happily" registered independent, Chaput said it was not enough to vote for someone because he or she attends your church: He challenged the self-described Catholicity of Vice President Biden and vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine, who, Chaput wrote, "seem to ignore or publicly invent the context of their Catholic faith as they go along."
