Instead of posting on my blog I’ve found myself watching the Olympics. I’m not sure why, but once I start getting into it I can’t turn it off. The wave of patriotism that naturally comes from national competition forces left-leaning journalists for a few weeks to have to pretend the United States is worth cheering for. You can even hear the strain in their voices as they report about President Bush (whom they hate more than Hitler, Halliburton, and capitalism combined) and the American Olympians joking around and laughing with each other. MMmmm… a few weeks of peace.

I'm a Christ-follower, compelled by my faith toward reason, which points directly toward conservatism. This world's daily onslaught of lunacy offends my intellect and senses, so this is my venue to blow off steam.
It’s nice that for these couple of weeks the world has something to come together on. I think it’s a good thing
On the topic of international sport and relations, and the topic of heritage, i have a question. Isn’t Georgia (the nation, not state) the geo-political region where the Armenians reside?
Yes. Armenia’s northern border is with Georgia. Neither Georgia nor Armenia (nor any former Soviet-bloc countries) are big fans of Russia.
it is nice that the world can come together for a few moments…..
to bad the whole conflict in Georgia had to make it sort of bittersweet
do you think that Russia planned to invade on the day the Olympics began
and the Micheal Phelps has got to be half dolphin or somethin
@T.J.
Yeah… Russia is really creepy. I wouldn’t put it past them to use the Olympics as a political distraction.
Phelps is making me proud.
I wouldn’t put anything past the Russians (what would you expect a Polak to say?:) ), but you’ll have to explain how the Olympics would be a “political distraction”. I don’t see how it would be much of a diversion.
Well… instead of the nightly news concentrating on Russia’s storm into Georgia, it quickly mentioned it so it could get to the Olympics and Phelps’ run at history.
You know I was thinking about this the other day. It is weird how watching the Olympics really does bring out a patriotic feeling in me. Like WarAxe and the others, I find myself extremely proud of Phelps.
GO DOLPHIN-MAN!!!!!!
BOO RUSSIA!!!!
and did anyone see the Hungarian weightlifter who had his elbow reversed…….ouch…poor guy
Happy Anniversary, Steve and Tami!
@Scott
Thanks! We spent the weekend at Lake Placid and had the best weather we’ve seen in weeks.
Well, happy anniversary.
On another note, there’s one thing i got to say. The Russians have been making threatening remarks (even one about nukes) since the US and Poland signed the agreement to put missile intercepters in Poland. I know that, unless a total moron is running things for Russia, they wont touch Poland. Even so, I have decided, that if anyone ever attacks Poland, I’ll drop whatever I’m doing right then and there and drive to the nearest Army recruiting office. No one messes with the land of my Ancestry.
@John3Sobieski
My hometown was practically half-Italian, half-Polish. Those guys took Poland very seriously.
Yeah, since the Partitioning of Poland (Russia, Prussia, and Austria divided Poland amongst themselves in 1792) Poles have been struggling for the freedom of their homeland. Freedom was granted to them by Woodrow Wilson in 1918 as part of the treaty that ended WWI. But then Hitler and Stalin invaded in 1939. Poland was finally free of Communism in 1980, making the current times the longest period of Polish independence since before the Partitioning. After 190 years of being dominated by foreign powers, no Pole will ever let a foreign power touch Poland again.
I wish the Western Europeans (who are too comfortable with pre-totalitarian socialism) would take a few lessons from the “newly” freedom-enjoying Eastern Europeans (who have communism’s blight fresh on their minds).
Amen to that.
Michael Phelps was a revelation in this olympics. I was glued to the telly for the past few weeks
I came upon your blog. This is an older post, but I really love the header on your page. It’s beautiful. =)
