What's happenin', people? Let me ask you all a question. Now that the

Fever? I must admit: I got a touch of it this week while watching some
swimming, weightlifting and gymnastics.

Yep, I've got a little of the Olympic fever considering there is
*nothing* else on TV but reruns so it is a nice change from the
reruns. It is fun to watch the athletes compete but they need to show
us more stuff other than swimming, weightlifting, gymnastics and beach
volleyball. I mean they have it on like 5 channels and online and it
is still hard to find some of the other sports.

Yeah, I think I'm burnt out on the swimming.

I don't think they're discussing Michael Phelps enough.

Maybe...who hopes they let the toothless little girl sing at the
closing ceremony!

In published reports, the opening ceremony's chief music director stated that a 'member of the Politburo' was responsible for 'suggesting' the last-minute switcheroo. (It was in the 'national interest' to have a 'cuter' child.)

I'm sure the Politburo has since rebuked the member. I mean, Communist Central Party politburos are usually reliable champions of 'the little guy' (or gal).
