Funny, that.
I love the Olympics. I have been doing nothing since the opening ceremony but watching olympic coverage on every station it’s on – right now, in fact, I’m watching men’s volleyball on Universal HD. HD olympics rules. Anyway, another reason I love the Olympics is that there’s something peculiar about it that makes people (not all people, but me at least) overly patriotic for about two weeks. The perfect proof of that came during the opening ceremony. I loved the whole thing and nobody will ever do a better opening than China did – they rock. But the interesting part for me was President Bush. According to NBC, he is the first president to ever attend a non-US Olympic Games, which is awesome. I would totally go to the olympics too if I were president. And then they sat him and Laura next to Putin in… get this… ROW 10. Is it too much to ask that the president of the US be sat in a box or in special seating? I was irrationally offended as an American until I realized what I was saying. Tha
