Loving the Olympics

I love watching the Olympics. I didn't think I really would, but I keep getting sucked it. I watched the 4 x 100 Free Relay, which was SO awesome. Before the race, a guy on the French relay team said they were going to "smash" the Americans. Weeeelllllll.....the good 'ol USA decided that was going to happen. The USA brought home the gold (and SMASHED the old world record) and the French had to settle for the silver. If you're gonna talk smack, ya better bring it! One little factoid I found interesting.....Michael Phelps eats 12,000 calories a day!

The women's gymnastics is pretty good as well. I've always liked watching gymnastics. I'm not really sure why. My favorite event is the parallel bars. Then the balance beam. I just love seeing them flip all around. Again, not sure why and really, in the scheme of things, who cares? (That's for you Lauren :-) )

Of course, the opening ceremony was totally awesome! I couldn't help thinking though, if someone screws up, are they going to kill them? I saw one guy get a bit out of the line and I started yelling at the TV..."Oh God! Get back in line!"

I'm sure by now everyone knows that John Edwards is another lying, cheating scumbag. I could really care less, other than feeling sorry for his wife. I do have two points however:
- Edwards has admitted to the affair now. Before, he said that father of that kid was another campaign guy. So, if this woman was with John Edwards and also with the other guy, how big of a slut is she? I mean, damn. The next questions of course is, does the other guy have hair as nice as Edwards?
- The thing I REALLY don't get is these guys who are currently, or know they will run for office....why they cannot keep it in their pants. I mean seriously. You know it will eventually come out. You know that will hurt your chances in winning whatever office. WHY do you then do it? It's like *duh* if you ask me.

Well, there are my thoughts for the day.......have a good one!
