The opening ceremonies

In case you missed the opening ceremonies for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, we highly recommend you get the DVD and watch it. It was incredible.

The parade of nations is always fun. And, for the record, Kazakhstan was a part of that parade, which brough to mind Borat, and his version of his nation's national anthem.

So, we had to look it up and take a listen.

Sweep dreams

The first day of complete competition at the Games of the XXIX Olympiad featured the first (of what we hope will be many) medal sweeps for the U.S. of A.

Here's a thought ... wouldn't it be cool if whenever the U.S. sweeps the medals, instead of playing The Star-Spangled Banner, they played America, F--- Yeah! instead?

What do you think?
