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.

Is it different than advertisements between segments
TV News Shows are now doing product placement.
Are the issues raised by this any different than the issues raised by commercial advertising in 30 second blocks between news segments? Isn’t the station beholden to the advertiser in both situations?

Engineering In Hell
An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, "Ah, you're an engineer -- you're in the wrong place."
So, the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After awhile, they've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day, God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?"
Satan replies, "Hey, things are going great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next."
God replies, "What??? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake -- he should never have gotten down there; send him up here."
Satan says, "No way. I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him."
God says, "Send him back up here or I'll sue."
Satan laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"

This is a world superpower
Water quality has been a concern for the sailing events, given that many coastal Chinese cities dump untreated sewage into the sea.

Ha -Ha
See-dubya guest blogging at Michelle Malkin:
those of a libertarian bent should listen up: social conservatives might be nosing around in your bedroom and your basement where you’ve got the grow-lights and the Pink Floyd posters, but the totalitarian green left is sticking its nose in every dad-gum room in your house.
