So it's what, day 5 of the Olympics? Here's my take so far:
- The US is apparently really good at swimming
- We suck at air pistol marksmanship (but do not underestimate the accuracy of, and willingness to use, our gun-powdered and rocket-propelled versions anywhere in the world)
- We can arbitrarily exceed or fail to meet expectations at gymnastics, inspecific of gender (but if those Chinese gals met the minimum 16 yr old age criteria I'll move to California and vote the Obama Bin Laden/Clinton ticket - I'm calling bullshit on that one)
- Synchronized diving is not a prime-time sporting event (supposedly this is also a gender specific event, but I got a very strong feeling that all parties involved were definitely in touch with their female sides and they should probably just do this one as a unisex thing, like wrestling)
- We whooped China's ass at hoops in front of over 1 billion viewers in their own hizzouse
and last, but certainly not least:
- Never. Ever. Give a sabre to a US woman.
I'm already pretty bored with the whole thing. And the fact that the Chinks hope all this brouhaha will help ease our concern over their behavior in places like Tibet and Darfur nauseates me. You could just as easily argue that Georgia (not the one by Alabama) and Russia are really the same thing.
Oh?
Wait.
Nevermind...
