Well, what I find even more offensive is that like five minutes after the Olympics is over is that NBC tried to bite China in the balls and basically started going crazy over what an 'evil' country China is. I mean I find it difficult to imagine that if you're going to imagine China is the land of shangra la one moment and satan's playground the next you might want to have some basis for either opinion.
the religious right is terrifying to me. I believe in God and I believe in being open minded and forward thinking, and I don't believe you can't do both. I don't know how much of it is media representation either. I can't believe that McCain is doing that well.
I liked the opening and closing ceremonies and I think it's about time someone reminded us that we don't have the monopoly on militarism. Although that may turn out to be not so good for us.
