"It's war!" cries Brazilian newspaper O Globo, lamenting an article in the latest New Yorker on gang violence in Rio de Janeiro, which comes out mere days before the International Olympic Committee decides the location of the 2016 summer games.

Go Rio. I’d love to see our scumbag president fail. Doesn’t our crappy POTUS want to spread the wealth around the world.

[Biggirl]

I wish Rio well, but POTUS got it in the bag. God Bless Chicago, they will need His blessings.

[A message]

I’d love to see our scumbag president fail.

How can you say that when Dear Leader and Dear Leaderess are sacrificing so much to go to Copenhagen.

[Dilbert San Diego]

They are reporting about gang violence in Rio?

What about gang violence in Chicago?

and I understand that many of the Olympic venues in Chicago are going to be on the infamous South Side. They hope these Olympic projects will prompt economic development.

See what happens in tomorrow’s vote. I think Obama hopes to preside over the 2016 Olympics, assuming he is re-elected in 2012. He wants this badly for himself. He wants the symbolism of Chicago hosting the games, and he and his political career starting in Chicago, and the reflected glory.

Obama bought Brazil off with 3 billion USA tax dollars a month ago. It will be held in Chicago.

"... I understand that many of the Olympic venues in Chicago are going to be on the infamous South Side. "

Cheap property. Gonna go up in price if true. A lot. Wonder if 0 knows any owners. *spit*

Hasn’t Brazil seen that video of the poor kid get beat in chicago?

USURPERUS aint gots it in da bag. Dey is swarming da Koppenhaggen, wid Community Organizer tactics ‘cuz deys aint gots it in dat bag.

I suspect President Lula of Brazil got paid off in getting support for oil drilling or something like that. Like it or not, Zero bagged a big one!

[Biggirl]

Most likely South Side will get a “big cleanup” for those buildings to go up.

[bvw]

What did Tokyo get?

[Biggirl]

A pol who had to open his mouth about “global warming” and 2016 being the last games. BINGO Toyko out of the running. LOL

[bvw]

But his wife will sent the UFO’s against Chicago and vaporize it. That’s a lot of CO2.

Clearly the IOC has to give it to Tokyo.

[bvw]

I bet 50 cent on Rio. tHe eLite lOve rIo.

[Biggirl]

Knowing the past performance of the IOC in the corruption event, I am resign to seeing ZERO bagging this one for Chicago. He is so full of himself he has to have his BERLIN.

[bvw]

I’m not so sure. Something doesn’t add up.

[Biggirl]

You said it, just does not add up. Second it.

[Oztrich Boy]

Yeah the IOC is corrupt, but: Brazillian hookers v. Chicago hookers. Which bid team can make the better offer?

[Biggirl]

;)LOL!

Thanks for your sense of humor!
