OBTW, did China promised not to use lead for the casting of the Olympic medals? Hate to have the prizes poison the athletes, especially when they bite the gold.Beijing 8-08-08 to 8-24-08

With all the fireworks they burst at the ending of the opening ceremonies, I am sure that added to their air quality problems... at least for tonight and maybe tomorrow. Still the opening was quite spectacular, and generally I don't watch the Olympics.

Re: And so the 2008 Beijing Olympic begins...
My understanding is that they are no longer using 'waterboarding" as torture at Guantanamo Bay, they just make the prisoners watch the opening of the Olympic games in slow motion, time and time and time again. Evidently a few of them, the jihadists, have already cracked, and a few of the gaurds who were supervising the whole ordeal are undergoing psychaitric evaluation for over exposure to the opening procedures.....Yea, China, lead paint in kids toys, the whole deal with gluten and chemical additives in pet food, wonder how many people's pets died from that????? Another chemical they produced for a prescription drug, lots of people dead from that, K-Mart and Wal-Mart wouldn't exist without cheap Chinese made crap, none of the products made there are clearly labeled as being made in China, Communist China, but you can't buy a Havana cigar in the U.S., because they're communist........Am I missing something???? I'ld be willing to wager that these Olympics will be the worst ever, and something will go wrong......
Aloha, lucky you live Hawaii

My daughter, while watching the opening ceremonies, said — quite seriously — "I hope President Bush doesn't bite into his glowstick and get green goo in his mouth."
