City officials confidently - and possibly unwisely - predict that air quality will be good for the Games.

So let it be written. So let it be done.

I'm actually very excited for these Olympics. There is so much drama going on and that doesn't even count the sporting events.

Well one thing is for sure, China's contribution to Global Pollution will be the talk of EVERY commentator on every network and every newscast that covers the Olympics, on a GLOBAL scale.

THAT is a GREAT thing!

Take that Commies.

Why all these complaints about the smog? The industrial pollutants are like getting your super-sized vitamins and minerals right from the air you breath!

bad karma indeed...

the tibetan monks must have used the secret prayer weapon -- no doubt the market for transplant organs will soon be flooded with used tibetan monk body parts...

I thought they were planning a massive cloud seeding operation immediately prior to the start of the games.

Wouldn’t it have been easier to have held the Olympics in a giant toilet bowl? At least you could have flushed it once in a while.

Wow, that is some incredibly heavy pollution there! And I thought the occasional brown cloud in Denver was bad when I lived there! O.o

And, this is 20% lower than last year? Absolutely astounding!
