Olympic Blogging

So, I watched a bunch of Olympics on TV over the weekend. The problem with the Olympics is that you have to sit through the dreck NBC comes up with to get to some genuinely great sports moments. I, for one, am a complete sucker for the parade of nations. You can keep the rest of the interpretive dance crap that happens in the opening ceremonies. I just get the biggest kick out of some small island nation with 3 athletes that have no chance to win a thing and yet are having the time of their lives. Also, the fact that NBC is putting obscure sports on it's cable stations means I will finally get to see real fencing on TV. I loving sword fights in movies. ("You seem a decent fellow, I hate to kill you.") I get to see it for real. Tomorrow 4-6 on Bravo!

P.S. Can't pass on politics. Bush so bad anarchists may vote.
Broder thinks Bush will lose. Broder is an old school Washington reporter, I think he covered Truman. He is the voice of conventional wisdom in DC. This is a good thing. If CW has Bush losing, Republicans will panic and the coverage will change.
