From Erik:
Really glad I remembered to get my Olympic Fever shots this year.
From Dave Weigel:
Obama admin should stop releasing economic reports, explaining that they’d just be SPOILERS for election results.
From MJ:
It’s great when Olympic commentators say “She really wants to take home the gold today” because it really helps me understand the sport.
What I’m curious about is how they managed to find people who supposedly played the sport, but are absolutely inane, boring or just plain incomprehensible. Not to mention the NBC taking sports heads who manage to make even the most exciting event an exercise in nap inducement.
The strangest sport must be Butterfly Stroke which looks like it must have been designed by the Government, i.e. cost-inefficient and basically useless.
