A great man once said
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Beijing Olympics: Faking scandal over girl who 'sang' in opening ceremony - Telegraph
Beijing Olympics: Faking scandal over girl who 'sang' in opening ceremony - Telegraph: "Mr Chen's interview gave an extraordinary insight into the control exercised over the ceremony by the Games' political overseers, all to ensure the country was seen at its best.
Officials have already admitted that the pictures of giant firework footprints which marched across Beijing towards the stadium on Friday night were prerecorded, digitally enhanced and inserted into footage beamed across the world.
Mr Chen said the initial hopefuls to sing the anthem had been reduced to ten, and one, a ten-year-old, had originally been chosen for the quality of her voice. But she, too, had fallen by the wayside because she was not 'cute' enough.
'We used her to sing in all the rehearsals,' Mr Chen said. 'But in the end the director thought her image was not the most appropriate, because she was a little too old. Regrettably, we had to let her go.'"
What else was faked?

"I think it's important that we have to stop allowing ourselves to be perceived as clowns to the rest of the world."
Like Friday
or how about the offerings of Shawan Wayans such as Little Man, Scary Movie.
we could talk about Flavor Flav if you want to talk about clowns.
My point is not that it is right for whites to portray blacks as clowns to the rest of the world. My point is that maybe blacks should worry more about how they characterize themselves if we ever are going to move on.

Olympic Predication
China will top the gold medal standings. They have made it a national crusade to beat the US. Maybe they are going to do it legitimately, maybe they will use government sponsored tactics like old soviet era teams. If they are doping, I hope they get busted.
Regardless, even if they do beat the United States in medals, keep in mind that China is 4 times the population of the US. They have 1 billion more people in the pool of athletes to assemble their team.
Per capita, America will dominate the world.
