Get your popcorn boys and girls this is going to be good.

China has lined up 1000's of supporters, while protestors range from Tibetan monks and their supporters, Burmese Monks, other critics of China, and your usual rabble rousers.

Well, the news media is spending this afternoon reporting the polygamy story in Texas instead. Guess the msm is going to give cover to the chi-coms cuz they have vested interests in both the Olympics and their subsidiaries.

Yeah, polygamy in Texas. We get it.

Report the news at the torch relay but they aren't...

The opening sequence of "Olympiad" for the 1936 Berlin Olympics with music from a Rammstein video. Very creepy, who says the Olympics aren't political? First the Nazis now, China. Caution - Some nudity, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbUej2HRKaY&feature=related

Well those two men and one women have more brass than I do. No way would I go up something that high and be open to the elements.

It’s time to say, “Don’t taze me, bro.”

 If I were assigned the task of determining the one city in America for any important event to take place, San Francisco would rank dead last for no reason other than their propensity for bombastic display.  This city is home to thousands of lunatics that would protest the rising of the sun in the East.

Controversy over ‘Thuggish’ Chinese Olympic Torch Guards
By Alexander Schwabe

Amid all the protests surrounding the Olympic torch relay, many people are asking who the sinister troop of Chinese torch guards in their blue track suits really are — and why they were allowed on the streets of London and Paris.

They outraged and they confused when they emerged on the world stage as torch bearers carried the Olympic flame through Paris and London. So just who were the Chinese men in blue and white tracksuits, white baseball caps, black fanny packs and, in some cases, sunglasses?

Re: I actually think it’s kinda nice to have an issue the left and right both agree on.

People on the left and right agree. People in DC could care less what the people think.

"But the assinine behavior of the protestors makes me vaguely sympathetic to the Chi Comms."

My sympathy is with the athletes; screw the Chi-Coms.

Nope... I'm watching the FOX feed - looks like the helicopter has spotted a couple of potential trouble spots.

Get out the popcorn, this could be entertaining.
