…otherwise the Olympics have been pretty good.
Of course, I still have my usual “grumpy old man” gripes about how beach volleyball is not a real sport (what next… dodge ball?) and the dearth of modern pentathlon coverage and the fact that professional basketball players are allowed to play, but all and all – so far so good.
RE Bush: He seems affable enough and the camera loves the guy. If he hadn’t let terrorists attack us on 9/11 and then launched a war against a random country by lying about their ability to bomb us with nukes without planning for the occupation and hadn’t wrecked the economy through gross mismanagement hadn’t lavished corporate welfare on his pals in big oil, and hadn’t trashed the constitution and hadn’t turned the country into armed ideological camps – then he might have been an okay placeholder president.
