...is that a Rhetorical Question?

Ironically, Jesse Owens was cheered lustily by the German audience and said later that he was treated better in Berlin than he was in Washington. He, along with all the other athletes, was invited to visit Hitler at the Reichstag at the conclusion of the games. FDR didn’t acknowledge his feats or ever invite him to the White House!

Conscious Chaos

This past weekend was a wild one in London and Paris...
Thousands of protesters waving Tibetan flags and shouting "Shame on China" disrupted the Olympic torch's marathon relay through London on Sunday...
In France Monday, the flame had to be extinguished for a third time as police protected it from anti-China protesters.
In Paris, some 3,000 officers were deployed on motorcycles, in jogging gear and using inline roller skates. Still, police barely stopped the second rush at the torch, and the attempt to extinguish it with water.
Less than an hour later, the flame was being carried out of a Paris traffic tunnel by an athlete in a wheelchair when the procession was halted by activists who booed and chanted "Tibet."

the comments are priceless:

Too much fun. Can we get the Olympics to Sudan next time?

What's more flaming, a torch, or cops on inline skates?

Usually one doesn't have much difficulty marching into Paris.

At least the paparazzi didn't cause the torch to go out of control and crash in that tunnel.

I can't wait to see the look on China's face when Tibet wins a shitload of medals this summer.

Just an IDEA...

Say the Olympic Torch Relay is coming to a town near you and you and your friends dress up as Tibetan Monks and fire squirt guns at the flame in support of a FREE TIBET...

We're just sayin'...
