I love the Olympics

The Olympics are the only sports I watch on TV. That statement will either cause fear or applause.

The opening ceremonies were tonight and they were spectacular! I was very impressed. The Greeks certainly look like they were prepared, the stadium was beautiful, the welcoming ceremony was very cool.

The only quibble I have is with the way the Americans were dressed. Everybody else had on exotic costumes or jackets and ties and/or skirts. Then out tramp the Americans in warm-up suits. Very sloppy. Dressing up is a sign of respect to the host nation, the other athletes and to yourself, really.

Of course we all know why they did it -- so NBC could market the warm-up suits and make even more moolah.

Capitalism at it's finest, ladies and gentlemen.
