Re: Chicago loses Olympic bid....
Olympics are lame IMO
Just not much to them as far as entertainment goes. I never really got into them.

Re: Chicago loses Olympic bid....
I was surprised that Chicago finished last out of the cities. Of course I wanted the Olympics in the USA, but I had to chuckle at DrudgeReport's headline with regard to the Obama's failure to sway the Olympic Committee-
"The Ego Has Landed." Ha.

Re: Chicago loses Olympic bid....
Yeah, Drudge is having a field day. I was indifferent one way or another. Of course the media wants to make it a win or lose proposition for Obama. The coverage of it all has been sort of silly. I'm glad it's over.

I personally think it was a mistake for Obama to fly over there and put in his two cents. Given how ridiculously negative and partisan politics are (especially lately), he probably should have just left this one alone. Although in a few days no one will care anyway.

Re: Chicago loses Olympic bid....
YAY! Glad that's over! Now we can get back to the real issues.
Do you think that Zorn will try a trick play this week? Maybe a run to the right? |

Re: Chicago loses Olympic bid....
Damn even Obama couldn't get the Olympics in Chicago. I'm surprised though they gave it to Rio De Janerio got the bid. I personally would have choosen Madrid.

Re: Chicago loses Olympic bid....
America loses bid and conservatives cheer? Now that's patriotism I can believe in. No, wait, Chicago isn't part of real America. Cheer on, cheer on real Americans.
Rio is a cool place...you just need to roll at least 3 deep and stay away from alleyways. I'm sure they'll tighten the security even more than during Carnival (pistol toting cop stationed at every block). I'm happy for Brazil and South America.

Re: Chicago loses Olympic bid....
Its good Chicago doesnt have to deal with the Olympics, alotta money, secruity, unneeded crap.
But on the real, Rio is a Fed up city. Sure a ton of growth, but they hide their ugly side. One of the worst crime, murder and drug rates in the world. A ton of poverty and the gang violence there is suppose to worst than anything in the US.
