Thoughts for this dog days of summer (2008)

• I am officially annoyed with the US and UK media coverage on the Beijing Olympics. Seems to me they are working extra hard to find things to criticize about the Beijing Olympics. For the US, it is obvious that there's a sense of uneasiness that someone is beginning to, and will, challenge the state of Paxy Americana that was created since the fall of USSR. For the UK, (well, even though that country really don't matter anymore), the proud Brits are still the host for the 2012 London Olympics. And they must be thinking, man, how can I do better. Can they do better? I hope so, since I am always open for the idea of a grand Olympic show; and we all know how the Brits can throw a good party i.e. the HK farewell party in '96 :P Well, Iam hoping to see Queen Elizabeth as the torch bearer (hopefully for her majesty's sake, not in a wheel chair), and those Brits better start popping up more spice girls to boost their GDP to support the 2012 Olymics. I say...about 10% of UKs total domestic GPD would be suffice for a nice party.
• Georgia. Humm, where do I start. Can you say "PAYBACK IS A BITCH"? I think Vladimir has been waiting for for a long long time. Ukraine in NATO hurts like your first love cheating on you, but it happens, and you can only hope that she'll come back one day. But Georgia joining NATO (under a US backed government BTW), that must feel like your pet dog that you raised running away to the neibor's house and bite you in the ass. That must have hurt. Well, at least today there is apparantly a seize fire, which i am glad. But what about the current regime? what role will US play in this since G Gubba just got called out....In any event, I am observing this closely, and hope for peace...soon.
• Obama vs. Mcain. Overhyped vs. Over the hill. I really don't care who wins since we are all demoricans anyway. Just reduce my tax and make me richer I am happy.

• WOW. I still suck, but man, when is the Return of Lich King coming out???
