So we are watching the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics, right before the Parade of Athletes...

The presentation of the WTC flag was very moving and respectfully done. The choir sang beautifully. Great portion.

But I really must ask about this whole "Child of Light" being pursued by Icicle Men...

Who thinks this sh*t up?

That would have been something to watch, a friend in the Olympics, wow.

Right, the media are doing an unbelieavable amount of hype and bragging about the medals and the number of medals they expect to win. A bit prematurely says I but I stay away from the hype. I think it's a bit embarassing, a country's national pride depends on how well it does in sports... what does that say about accomplishments in other aspects of life...

*dryly* There's an awful lot of noise on TV here, as well. The Olympics should be about sport, not an international pissing contest.

Oh well.
