I may have missed the opening ceremonies, but I can certainly appreciate your review!

We need to remind ourselves, should we choose to watch any of this coverage, that we are being fed Communist propaganda about the China "they" wish us to see. It in no way resembles the real China.

Well said, all, the above in particular.

(Average) Chinese, even in Red China, LOVE Americans.

Take it from me.

First hand.

The Chinese cut short the beginning and the end of our National Anthem while Michael Phelps getting his Gold metal.

I caught that. Any explanations as to how this happened? What is the 'official' explantion being given by the Communists?

No secret but often not reported was a big part of the rising demand on the worldwide oil supply was China stockpiling it so the Olympics went off without a hitch. One of the reasons the price is going down now is that they don't need to stockpile anymore.

I had no idea!

And, what about Google? They must have a powerful connection with the Chinese gov't in pre-screening web sites for censorship. How else could they have earned the privilege of posting the Olympic images as part of their logo.

Yep,

I can't get into the games either. The basic idea behind it all is sort of lost when these games are held in a communist state that neither has any real democratic principals nor any concept of human rights. These games are sort of like the games held in Munich when some other despot in the 30s also wanted to boost the image of his regime with these games. It's sad when the Olympics become a cheap whore by which regimes like the one in China elevate their world standing and when the Olympic commission allows this.

I like your pics.

It's a great analogy and spot on in my opinion.
