Olympics can inspire American kids to get active. Or it can inspire the kids to sit on the couch and watch the Olympics...Conan
- The International Olympic Committee's overt hypocrisy knows no bounds, and must be taken to task. Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against the athletes. God bless 'em. When I was a young guy, I actually wanted to be an Olympian like many other guys and gals. I actually bought a used javelin and started throwing it around. That lasted about two weeks when I said to myself, "Why the f%$k am I throwing this spear up and down a football field? It's 1967 for God's sake, not the 15th Century. This is stupid. I'm going back to playing real sports."
- As many of you know by now, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) continued to refuse to hold a moment of silence for the 11 Israeli athletes murdered by the Black September terrorists (a Palestinian terrorist organization at the time).
- There are several reasons for their idiotic decision. They openly say the Olympics should not be political. Excuse me! Do they forget where the 1936 Olympics were held? (in Nazi Germany). Do they forget Juan Carlos and Tommy Smith of USA raising their clenched fist in protest at the 1968 Games? No, this is solely about not offending Arab countries, especially Palestinians. Does anyone think the IOC would take this posture if Israeli athletes had not been murdered? The IOC, like the U.N., are hypocrites. Shameful
- Romney was taken to task by the Brits because he reminded everyone about the lack of security and the proposed strikes planned during the Olympics. There's only one problem with this criticism: if you read the European papers, including British tabloids, in the last several months...they were all taking shots at the problems the British were having in hiring enough private security for the Olympics. In fact, the problems were so bad, the Brits called up their own military for security duty. So Mitt just told the truth.
