Bloody Mad 2012

Filed Under: News, The Usual Rant
Londoners pulled the 2012 Olympics their way today leaving Paris stupefied over how, for a third time in four tries, the IOC could past them up….again. In general though, I don’t understand what all the commotion was about since everybody in the know (and I know EVERYTHING….’cause I’m kool like dat) knew that out of the five reamining cities it was Paris and London that had the best shoot to bring the Olympics to their city. The other three candidate cities has their flaws broken down:
1) New York - Too much political infighting over the mid-town stadium issue. Plus, the U.S. has hosted two of the last six summer olympics and not to mention the city is a prime terrorist target.
2) Madrid - Spain had the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. That was enough.
3) Moscow - Puh-leaze.
Personally, not to take anything away from London, but I think Paris should’ve gotten the Olympic bid. But hey, let’s face facts, supporting an illegal war against a certain middle eastern country has it’s perks, right Mr. Tony Blair?!
Tea anyone?

b/c of their dislike of Blair (sic maybe).

My heart goes out to every Londoner and Briton whose lives have been affected by the recent bombings that took place early Thursday morning. Certainly there must be a better way to invoke social justice in this world without having to resort to this type of brutal violence that only results in the unnecessary deaths of the innocent….
