    Just finished watching the opening ceremony on TV. Overall a great show. Personally, I would like to have different kind of African drums during the parade.

    Just watched the opening and it was a great job. can't see anyone topping that show anytime soon.

    With the mess going betw Russia and Georgia, possible reason Bush and Putin ain't too happy

    I wonder if a fist fight will ensue with Hu in the middle trying to stop them, man that be a killer headline and Olympics. :D

    Carmelo: Mr President I regret to inform you that we have decided to trade you and Dick Chaney, for Senator Barak Obama, a future first round pick, and a player to be named later.

    It's kind of gay but considering MuDan is the national flower (unofficial) of China, it's understandable for such a time.

    Uggg I heard from a friend that NBC is going to cut off a lot of the opening ceremonies so they could put commercials in between it. :(
