I love the Olympics.
It brings out a sense of patriotism and optimism and enthusiasm in all of us. My favorite part of the Olympics are the opening ceremonies. I found this photo from a rehearsal in Beijing earlier this week:
China: Props on designing the coolest steel birthday cake on the planet. It's too bad that you're an idea-smothering, environment-ruining sham. I find it a bit concerning that the IOC chose a host country where international journalists have limited Internet access and athletes may be required to wear specially designed masks when they compete outdoors. Is this really the world we live in?
I won't let a state engineered propaganda pageant ruin my Olympic spirit though. If you're reading this, live in the vicinity of 07030, and want to join, I plan to spend Friday evening celebrating the commencement of three of the best weeks in sports... and reminicing about my first frat party.
Mom -- not my fault, ask Greg.
Go Team USA!

s to the h to the out space out... um, i guess.
I'm not sure if your anti-China thunder has subsided, but maybe the Olympics can just be a reminder that we are all different and maybe our ideas may have gone so far forward that they are now backward.
Have you seen this?

Wow.
(oh yeah, and how about the fact that 60000+ children are kidnapped and sold ANNUALLY in China or as many as 40 million female fetuses have been selectively aborted since 1979's one child policy)
