Here We Go...

[patentdragon]

The teams are being introduced as I write (right now Cameroon and Canada), and the whole opening ceremony for the Olympics has been a pretty impressive show, avoiding the predictable and providing some memorable scenes - a countryside replaced by industry to produce a fifth red-hot Olympic ring in particular. I'm hoping all the nay-sayers have been shut up by now - if they haven't, we will surely hear from them again when the slightest slip-up occurs.

Hey, even the rain took a break.

In a related issue, I had the best laugh in a looooong time as I discovered the latest Twitter hashtag - #AmericanBorat. Quote:

"Mitt Romney isn't even qualified to represent the US as a tourist"...

Aaaaw. Poor Mittens...
