I have to admit, I will be watching the Olympics to see how much of a train wreck it will be

The stories already coming out are just amazing in terms of safety, corruption, bizarre explanations and political ineptitude. I really want to see what lengths TV will be going to in order to disguise the problems.

get their ass home. Did you see the pictures of the Water??? They say don't put it on your face, there is something dangerous in it. Give me a break. I wish it was somewhere else. But I hope everything is without incident and they have a safe return.

That the Olympic committee will quit awarding venues to this country. It is too dangerous and backward a country to put on an event like this for the world stage.
