I have been betting RIO all along. Lula is Pres of an ascendant country, USA is on the decline. The rest of the world is laughing at us for electing such a buffoon as Obama. All of SA was destined to vote for Brazil, most of Europe would support Madrid, Asia would go for Tokyo, so where were we supposed to find support?

Could it be? The O’s charisma is wearing thin?

Finally, I have some HOPE for the future here in Obama's Amerika. Well... maybe just a little... ;-)

Our government believes it can buy friends.

There is a great book I urge everyone to read. Its called Everything I need to know, I learned in Kindergarten.

It says, you cannot buy your friends.

I’m also a surburban resident, 40 miles from Chicago. I was planning on a nice long vacation AWAY so that we did not have to deal with the mess that the Olympics would have caused, even this far out. I am SO relieved it is not coming here. The relief is in addition to the joy I feel that 0 and Daley are stimied in their quest for the Olympics. Just can’t stop laughing.

Me too, though I know so many people in the trades that could have used the jobs. But this is it for Mayor “Short Shanks.”
