The Olympics

So, it's four years already. Time flies. Olympics, Summer that is.

Remember when both Winter and Summer Olympics were in the same year (or thereabouts)? But awhile back (1994), the IOC (which has a reputation that makes the Gambinos look like candy-stripers), decided that they should stagger the games, and have one happen every two years, which of course, makes them less special. Great job, IOC!

Anyhoo - now the SO is back, and NBC's got 'em. And showin' 'em. Everywhere. On my TV, with about 5 channels (though I didn't count), on my PC, and if I had a cell-phone, I guess I could get it there as well.

And judging from the medal count, once a communist regime is over-turned, a country loses all hope of multiple medals. See USSR and East Germany if you don't believe me.

So, being a PATRIOT, I root for the U.S. in every sport. As a matter of fact, we need to totally dominate and teach these lesser beings a lesson! (-'
(Note - that is the first time in my life I've used the cutesy symbol!)

Go for the Gold!
