Congratulations to London on winning the 2012 Olympics location. Interesting how the IOC picked America’s partner in the war on terror over it’s vociferous opponent.

It’s usually the second favourite that gets it, or at least, that’s what I heard anyway.
That’s such a ridiculously arrogant thing to say. God help any nation that dares to believe that peace–or even justified war–is the way to go. How many of the 200 (or so) countries that participate have chosen a path of disinvolvement rather than support for this oil-happy blood lust? Luckily enough, there are a whole lot of elections between now and the 2012 summer games, including one presidential election and one primary. With public support of this administration continuing to plummet, a change at the helm will hopefully see that this military action will have long-since finished, along with all the stupid anti-French bull that has gone along with it.
France loudly chose not to help the US. That’s fine. However, Chirac’s demonization of the US makes me less than friendly towards France. Every American who feels that the French Prime Minister’s comments were not nice has the freedom to act appropriately in response. Not buying Fresh products, not traveling to France, and so on are appropriate reactions. I am quite happy that France will not benefit from the 2012 Olympics.
Jeremiah,
That ruling makes me a little bit depressey… I am a big fan of baseball, because I used to play myself. Personally, I can’t and don’t understand why the IOC would stoop so low as to not allow the most basic and the most American sports in an International competition such as the Olympics… After all, they have bicycle races and boxing, and not to mention soccer (or football as some overseas call it). I just gotta ask the IOC one thing… “What Tha Dealy Yo?!!!!”
